Well, folks, it looks like we’re in for a pretty wet stretch here in the Willamette Valley as we move through the week. We’ve got a good chance of rain hanging around for most of our forecast period, so I’d say it’s time to dig out those umbrellas and raincoats. We’ll be monitoring the development closely, especially regarding the steadier rains expected mid-week.
Starting off today, we’re already seeing cloudy skies and periods of rain, with the temperature topping out around 54 degrees. We’ve got a 90% chance of that precipitation sticking with us. As we head into Tuesday, the clouds persist, and rain is expected to develop later in the day, with highs dipping a bit to near 50 degrees. The chance of rain remains high at 80%.
By Wednesday, we might see a brief reprieve with partly cloudy skies and a high around 48 degrees, but don’t get too comfortable! Thursday looks to bring showers early, transitioning into a steady, more widespread rain system. We’re looking at a 100% chance of rain that day, with a high near 47 degrees, and forecasters are expecting around a quarter-inch of rainfall. That pattern continues into Friday with cloudy skies and periods of rain once again, a 90% chance, and rainfall amounts also near a quarter-inch…
