So far so good, the forecast is right on track. The low clouds are slow to clear, we have high clouds pushing in at the coast...all of that means mostly cloudy skies. I do think we could squeeze out some sunbreaks, but not many. Also tonight we may see some light rain at the north coast. Hope your day is going well!

Good morning from the First Alert Storm Center

Fog and low clouds have formed across the area today, so expect to see some on your way in. You may have reduced visibility because of the fog. Eventually we'll see some sunbreaks later this afternoon.

High pressure is moving over us today, giving us dry and calm conditions...a big change from the wet weather yesterday. We have to get through a lot of low clouds and fog early, then we'll see some sunbreaks for the afternoon. Highs today should top out in the lower to middle 60s.

Later tonight we'll start to see some increasing clouds, especially at the coast. We may even see a little light rain at the coast tonight, as the first weak wave pushes in. That weak wave tonight is just the beginning of what's coming for tomorrow. Look for a wet afternoon tomorrow across Portland.

This weekend we'll have morning clouds and afternoon sun on Saturday, then rain on Sunday. Into next week temperatures will cool off and the weather will stay active.

Have A Great Thursday,

Good morning Nick!

Just a question from my curious mind... I noticed that visibility in Aurora was at 9 miles and that got me wondering. How do they differentiate between mile 9 and that last mile 10?? And especially when it's dark?
