Showers likely this evening

We have a batch of heavy showers moving south towards the Salem area right now.  These showers have produced heavy rain, hail, and even some lightning & thunder in the Portland area.  These showers are also cooling the air mass down quite a bit.  Look how cool Portland is compared to Salem as of 5PM.

Tomorrow and Monday will be unusually cold for this time of year with lows in the mid to upper 30s and highs struggling to reach 60 degrees if with sunny skies.

Enjoy the showers, and enjoy your Saturday evening!!

Thursday morning update

A quick update before you head out the door this morning as we have a chance for showers and maybe a few thunderstorms today.

Timing

This morning:  The possibility for a few regular – plain old showers exists through about 9 or 10am.  Very slight chance for a thunderstorm during this time.

10AM – 4PM:  Should be mostly dry, with lots of sunbreaks.  With the sun out we could easily get into the 80s today.

After 4PM:  Chances for thunderstorms and showers goes up.  No guarantees of course (it’s Oregon after all), but a fairly decent chance for our standards.

The Cascades & Central Oregon

These regions will almost certainly experience storms today.  In fact, there are already storms firing up near and south of Bend now.

Looking ahead

Sunday through Tuesday of next week looks showery.  Not a washout, but definitely wet at times.

Remember to follow me on Instagram as I post occasional updates on there, especially when I’m on the go and away from the laptop.

Rain showers today

We have some rain showers on tap for today.  Hard to say exactly when they will arrive.  My best guess is for showers to move in between 10am and noon and last on and off through the rest of the day.

A few of our showers could be rather heavy with maybe a couple rolls of thunder mixed in.

Tomorrow through at least most of next week will be dry, so don’t worry about this being the start of our rainy season.  It’s looking like a one and done type of storm for today.

Thunderstorms possible today

Showers and thunderstorms are quite likely today through tomorrow morning just about anywhere in the western half of the state.  Depending on your point of view it could be a very fun 24 hours or so around here.  Not everyone will see a storm, but just about everyone should see a few rain showers.

A quick look ahead shows no sign of hot weather returning to our region through at least next week.  Once we get through Saturday I don’t see any signs for more rain next week either.  What I do see are lots of high temps ranging between 77° and 84° with lows dropping into the mid 50s each night.  Basically just more regular partly cloudy to mostly sunny weather with nothing extreme, too hot, or exciting once we get past today’s storm potential.

Enjoy and be safe!!

Thunderstorms this afternoon

Showers and thunderstorms are likely this afternoon.  The eastern Willamette Valley in particular has the highest chance, but with enough sunbreaks today I believe just about anyone could get in on the “action” today.

Thursday:  Cloudier than today with another chance for showers and thunderstorms.  Highs in the upper 60s.

Friday:  A few showers with plenty of of sunbreaks in between.  High around 70.

Saturday:  Lots of clouds in the morning with increasing sunbreaks as the day goes on.  Highs in the low to mid 70s.

Sunday:  Mostly sunny with a chance at some late day thunderstorms.  Highs in the mid 70s.

No fancy graphics or pictures today, and honestly I haven’t looked into the forecast for next week much either as I’ve been quite busy helping to get things ready for my sister’s wedding this weekend!    🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂

Slight chance for an evening shower

Numerous thunderstorms have developed over the Cascades this afternoon, and the steering flow aloft (in layman’s terms – the direction of the wind up where the planes fly) is from the east meaning these storms could impact us tonight.  The chance is slim, but don’t be shocked if a storm or shower rolls into your neck of the woods.
