STAYING HUMID…
Clouds stuck around and acted like a “blanket” overnight, especially in the central valleys! Portland is expected to beat the record warm low for the date. Salem though, ended up with a morning low of 73°! If we don’t get any cooler before midnight, this will be the SECOND WARMEST NIGHT ever recorded at the Salem Airport.
Hazy sunshine has stuck around for most of the day. Despite the upper-level clouds, we are still getting into the low 90s!
We’ve been tracking scattered thunderstorms along and east of the Cascades this afternoon. I don’t anticipate any storms turning severe, but expect isolated gusty wind and abundant lightning through the evening.
A few storms passed through the central valley earlier today around Salem/Mcminnville. That shouldn’t happen again, but with such a humid and moist atmosphere, we can’t rule anything out!…
