Monday August 11
Nature will be adjusting the thermostat, cooling the region down as this week ends. Looks like some raindrops are also in the works. Let’s take a look.
- This week, Aug 11-15: HOT today and Tue, with temps again teasing close to triple-digits (Medford 106 yesterday). Puget Sound will be warm, but not nearly as hot as western OR. Onshore flow increase mid-week, so expect Wed to cool down. By Friday, SHOWERS possible as a cold front moves onshore from the NW. Temps on Fri may not exceed 72. Most of the precip will fall north of Portland, much like the system several days ago.
- The coming weekend, Aug 16,17: Looks mostly dry, with some cloudiness following behind Friday’s cold front. Temps will rebound a bit, into the mid-to-upper 70s. Pleasant.
- Week of Aug 18-22: Turning warmer by Wed the 20th, although not a heat wave. Pleasant 80s; cooler around the Sound. Fri the 22nd may top 90 in portions of western OR.
- Weekend of Aug 23,24: Cooling again, as a weak surface Low tracks just off the OR coast. Onshore flow, with marine clouds. Late Sunday could present drizzle along the coast.
- Week of Aug 25-29: Increasing warmth, with temps returning to expected Summer heat. We don’t see a heat wave at this time, just seasonal temps for late August.
The future hurricane mentioned in our last report now looks to track well off-shore over the Atlantic. As a “fish storm”, ERIN still looks to be a strong hurricane, but no threat for landfall.

Something attempted, something done, has earned the night’s repose.” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
