Our beautiful late April weather has arrived and will be with us through Thursday. The forecast is working out well so far which always brings a smile to my face. Sadly, I had to lower the temps for the Friday through next Monday time frame due to some extra showers that look to be moving in over the weekend. Here’s the latest forecast:
Tuesday of next week is now looking like the start of another dry period.
Enjoy the warm weather!!
We have near record warm temperatures coming this week. I’ve got an updated extended forecast for you all along with a few extra details!
Tuesday – Thursday: Near record high temps for this time of year with highs 83 to 85. It’s going to feel pretty warm!!
Thursday night – Friday: A chance of thunderstorms arrives LATE Thursday evening through Friday. I’ll be watching that time frame closely.
Saturday & Sunday: Much cooler with lots of clouds around and more showers.
The following week looks to dry out again.
A quick update as I’m on the road again headed to central Oregon for a weekend work trip with church.
Here’s the main message: Very warm Monday through Thursday with temps in the mid to upper 70s each day, so enjoy it make sure you have a chance to get outside this week!!
BUT FIRST, we have to get through 1 day of clouds with some light sprinkles, then Sunday it warms right back up. I’ll give you all a nice update Sunday when I return home.
Have a fantastic weekend!!!
Main message here: It’s looking mild and dry, so enjoy 🙂
Fun Fact: If you think it’s been a rainy April then you are correct. As of today (the 17th) Salem has had about 5 inches of rain. The average rain total for this point in the month is only 1.65″ which means it really has been an especially wet month. Not that you needed me to tell you that 😉 . I think these next several days will feel pretty nice after all the rain we’ve had.
Numerous showers continue for today and tomorrow. The rest of the Forecast is still on track with one annoying exception, and that’s Saturday. It now looks as if the rain will creep in during the late afternoon/early evening which is a little bit sooner than I initially anticipated.
The result: a shorter “dry day” for all of us to enjoy on Saturday.
Headed to the coast? The coast looks to be wet most of the day 
so no dry break over there.
The Cascades: Good news here!! The Cascades will stay dry all day long Saturday.
The rest of the forecast
Sunday – Tuesday: Looking to stay wet and cool throughout this time frame with more mountain snow for the higher Cascades.
Wednesday (18th): Next decent shot at a dry day.
One last, but very important thing that should be mentioned…
Some very heavy showers drifting around today and much more rain on the way. Check out this very wet extended forecast. Saturday looks to be the only real dry day for a while.
Wednesday & Thursday: Very cool for this time of year with plenty of showers. Small hail, some gusty winds, and a rumble of thunder are all possible with these heavier showers.
Friday: Some showers around, but the majority of the afternoon and evening will be dry with some nice sun breaks 🙂
Saturday: Driest and warmest day all week with a high around 60.
Sunday & Monday: Wet and cool weather returns.
Saturday: Windy day, gusts in the 40 to 50mph range at times. Lots of showers too. Overall a very stormy day!! Might be a wise decision to secure flower pots, yard decorations, & patio furniture that could blow over Saturday. Just my friendly advice and warning to you all. 🙂
Sunday: Wet most of the day, still very breezy at times. Best chance for a dry break will be late in the day.
Monday: Sunniest day out of the next 7, so enjoy if you can!!
Tuesday – Thursday: Looks to be wet and cool for this time of year.
