Wettest Day of the Week

Blustery NW day for us today. Continued wet and breezy
day around the region. West of the Cascades it seems like some of the heaviest
rain moved through overnight, only a few more bands of heavy rain before we see
it taper into showers that will likely last through the end of the week. High
temps: 50-55 Portland/Willamette Valley/Coast. High wind warning for the central
Oregon Coast remains in place for a bit longer. Expect to see windy conditions
in Central Oregon as well. Mt. Bachelor Resort announced this morning they were
suspending lift operations due to heavy rain and strong
winds.

 

Once we see the rain move through later today, we’re
continue to see some on-again, off-again showers all the way through the end of
the week. What you’ll most likely notice is how we’ll get a little bit cooler
every day until we see high temperatures barely getting into the 40s by Sunday.
The good news is that the cooler air mass coming into the picture for us is also
a drier air mass. So, we could see some brisk December sunshine this weekend in
many places. Cascades still look to see snow piling up as those snow levels head
lower.

 

Next week so far is not looking nearly as wet.
Enjoy!
