Afternoons staying very warm, hottest on Saturday
Good morning! Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are developing across portions of northwest Oregon & southwest Washington. As I write this discussion around 3:00 A.M., I’m watching two clusters of thunderstorms. One cluster is developing over the central Oregon Coast (basically right over Newport), and the other cluster is developing in central Oregon (near Madras). These showers and storms are linked to a shortwave trough that is moving over the region. This shortwave will continue to push northward this morning, and the action will shift focus into western / central Washington. Between mid to late morning, clouds will gradually clear. This should bring us another very warm afternoon, but not quite as warm as yesterday. Temperatures will max out in the upper 80s and low 90s along the I-5 corridor.
