Still staying HOT!

10:14 AM Fri, Jul 03, 2009 |

After topping out at 96 on Thursday, the Portland Metro area will "cool off" to around 93 degrees on Friday, with another 93 degree day likely on the 4th of July.

Sunday will be the transition day, with temperatures still in the upper 80s.

Then starting Monday we're looking for much more seasonable and reasonable temperatures, with daily highs next week back in the 70s.

Hot and Hotter!

10:01 AM Thu, Jul 02, 2009 |

The heat is on across the region starting today. A Heat Advisory goes into effect at Noon today for the Valley, Coast Range and portions of the Gorge and SW Washington. Highs will soar into the 90s for the next few days. But a sign of relief is well offshore, with a developing area of low pressure that will bring cooler highs and perhaps a chance of showers early next week. So our heat wave will be short-lived.

Highs Tuesday

Get ready to get hot

12:13 PM Mon, Jun 29, 2009 |

Temperatures will gradually warm as we head through the work week.
We'll be back into the 80s by Tuesday, with overnight lows in the mid 50s.
By Thursday it's looking like we could even break the 90 degree mark!
By the end of the week, low pressure will move back in. Even though we will remain dry, we will start to see a few more clouds move in for the weekend. But temperatures will still be in the upper 70s for the 4th of...



Nice weather continues

6:19 PM Sun, Jun 28, 2009 |

Sunday couldn't match the record 100 degrees we hit on this day last year, but we did get into the upper 70s to end the weekend.
Temperatures will gradually warm as we head through the work week.
We'll be back into the 80s by Tuesday, with overnight lows in the mid 50s.
And we will likely remain dry all the way through the 4th of July holiday.

Warm weekend on tap

12:07 PM Fri, Jun 26, 2009 |

Some clouds will drift through the area from time to time today, but the main theme will be sunshine.
In fact with high pressure returning to the area, that should be the theme through the weekend. Oh what the heck- all the way through next week! At least that is how it looks right now in the metro area.
The one temporary downturn will be overnight Saturday into Sunday morning when a weak little disturbance will provide a few mor...



Sunny and upper 70's!

2:13 PM Wed, Jun 24, 2009 |

More sunshine on tap for this morning! We'll start off this Wednesday with mostly sunny skies. That sunshine will help warm up temperatures into the upper 70s in the metro area today.
An approaching front will likely bring scattered showers to the Coast this afternoon. We may even get a few sprinkles moving into the Valley.
Tomorrow will be cloudier and cooler. But temperatures should warm up on Friday.

Enjoy Your Day!



Hello sunshine and 80

Good Morning from the First Alert Storm Center

A few low clouds are lingering around this morning, but they won't stick around for long. By noon, we'll see mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. Wednesday will be very similar to today with highs near 80 once again. A weak storm rolls into our area Wednesday night, leading to scattered showers Thursday. Friday looks dry and warm. A chance for showers and slightly cooler weather retu...



Warmer weather on the way

1:41 PM Mon, Jun 22, 2009 |

Cloudy skies this afternoon will likely give way to a few sunbreaks this evening. Temperatures in the mid 60s at lunch time will warm up to around 70 by this evening in the Portland metro area. Tomorrow, temperatures will warm up a bit and conditions should remain dry. Our next best shot for showers comes late Wednesday into Thursday. Highs for the rest of the week will likely stay in the mid to upper 70s.

Have a great day!

Happy Father's Day weather

Happy Fathers Day and first day of Summer.

I just wish I had better weather news. A trough of weak low pressure and associated waves of energy will be sliding through, through Monday morning.

High pressure will be with us for much of next week and by the first weekend of summer we should see temperatures in the 80s.

We will see clouds, showers and some sunbreaks today. We should see some of those sunbreaks in the eve...
