Get your dry outdoor chores done before tomorrow afternoon! Rain reaches the coast early tomorrow and spreads across the I-5 corridor by the evening commute, continuing through Friday morning with highs tumbling into the mid-60s. 🌧️ #orwx #wawx

Thursday afternoon is your cutoff. If you have outdoor chores, yard work, or dry plans, get them done over the next few days. Rain and a noticeable cooldown hit Friday, setting up a showery weekend with highs stuck in the 60s. 🍂 #orwx #wawx

Cool start today, but the warmth builds quickly. 🌤️ A few showers linger in the Cascades this morning, then most areas turn dry with clearing by early afternoon. Tuesday warms up, and Wednesday looks to be the warmest day, with inland highs in the 80s.

Give me this kind of summer forecast any day 🌲☀️ Cool mornings, comfortable afternoons, and plenty of time outside. A few light showers are possible in spots on the coast tomorrow, but most will stay dry.

The hottest part of the week is here — but heat isn’t the only concern. 🚨 FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAY: Heat, smoke, and storms are all on the table today. I’m tracking updates.

A classic PNW summer day ☁️☀️ Morning clouds hang around, then sunshine returns for a comfortable afternoon. Great weather for a walk, yard work, or getting outside. More of this easy summer feel continues over the next few days.

Same now… shift starts Friday. Cool mornings, clouds early, then some breaks later. Easy stretch through midweek for the Portland metro and Valley. Friday warms things up—and that warmer stretch sticks into the holiday weekend, with the coast staying cooler.

Oregon’s snowpack is at record lows Early melt starts this week → rivers may peak early and run low Drought map shows only moderate dryness, but your water supply is already stressed — especially east of the Cascades. #OregonWeather #SnowpackLow #WaterShortage #DroughtWatch

Spring warmth is slowly taking over the forecast. Afternoons climb into the 60s over the next few days with clouds and a few spotty showers possible. Most hours stay dry, so outdoor plans should be easy to fit in. What are you seeing where you are? #PDXweather #ORwx #WAwx

The faucet is about to turn on. Rain ramps up soon! Thursday–Friday are FIRST ALERT WEATHER DAYS. Some spots could see up to 4" of rain in a short time, leading to ponding roads and slow commutes. Good news in the Cascades: snow levels stay high enough for feet of new snow.
