Cooler over the next week as onshore flow keeps high temps mainly in the 60s each day (except 50s at the coast). Best chance for inland high temps at or above 70 degrees is on Monday (50-75% chance). Very little to no rain expected for the lowlands until Tue. #orwx #wawx

Looks like we broke and tied a few records around the area. Take a look at this preliminary report and yes, PDX did have their 1st 90°F day of 2024. In fact, it got up to 91°F.

As heat builds today and Saturday, remember that area rivers are still running very cold. Readings from around the area as of Friday morning show river temps in the 40s and 50s. Use caution if thinking about cooling off in a river, and always wear a life jacket. #orwx #wawx
