KGW Weather http://www.beloblog.com/KGW_Blogs/weather/ en Copyright 2009 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:14:54 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Still staying HOT! 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.

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

Coast, 65-75

Valleys, low 90s

Central / East, 85-95

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 July holiday.

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.

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 more clouds. They will however burn-off by Sunday afternoon.
Today, the high will be 76.

Highs Today:

Coast-around 60-65

Valleys-mid: 70s

Central / East: 75-82

Have a good day!

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!

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 returns this weekend.

Have A Great Day!

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!

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 evening hours but with temperatures only in the low 60s at that time, dinner alfresco for dad probably not a good idea. The high today will be 68.

Highs Today:

Coast - around 60

Valleys - mid 60s

Central / East - 64-74

Have a good day

I just wish I had better weather news. A trough of weak low pressure will continue moving in our direction and will continue influencing our weather through Monday morning.

We will see clouds a few showers and some sun breaks today.

Sunday, may be a bit wetter - more similar to Friday, with some possible heavier showers. Highs through the weekend will be only in the mid to upper 60s. The high today will be 66.

Mother Nature is such a flirt! A couple of days of sunshine and 70s then a cold splash of water in the face. No literally we're going to get a cold splash of water.

Rain is back in the forecast for most of the day. Temperatures will be about 20 degrees cooler than the first part of the week. Highs will only reach the middle 50s. In the mountains snow levels are back down below pass elevation. 3 to 5 inches of snow is possible above the 3,500 foot level.

the cool and wet weather will persist through Easter weekend and beyond.

Regards,
Dave

Temperatures Wednesday will be at least 15 degrees cooler than yesterday. Clouds have replaced the blue skies and liquid sunshine is arriving soon.

It looks like the rest of this week will be cloudy and damp right up to Easter Sunday. I know it's April but it looks like we might see another round of low elevation snow, 2500ft by the weekend. Ah yes it's spring in the Pacific Northwest!

Looks like we're going to get one more day of sunny and warm weather. High pressure is keeping clouds and rain bottled up in the Gulf of Alaska. High temperatures will climb back up into the middle 70s Tuesday. Our record for the date is 79 set back in 1996. I think it's unlikely we'll get that warm.

Clouds will start to increase late today as the ridge breaks down. Cooler temperatures are back Wednesday but I think the rain will hold off until Thursday. The later part of the week will be similar, to what we've seen much of this spring. You know the drill gray skies chilly and damp

Saturday starts out chilly and with some fog but rapidly improves through the day. High pressure is building across the entire Pacific Northwest. Daytime highs will reach the lower 60s Saturday

Sunday and Monday a low pressure center off Northern California will help enhance our warming trend. Highs push into the low to middle 70s. Some east winds will develop on Sunday, I don't think we'll see wind speeds much above 25mph. Bottom line is it's time to do a little lawn work and maybe fire up the BBQ. No get out there and enjoy the weekend. You deserve it.
