Rain At Times

Warmer Air Starting To Move In

Really Warm Late Week!

Today we are seeing a wet warm front move into the Northwest. The steadiest rain is found in western Washington and northwestern Oregon, but showers have been increasing in eastern Washington this afternoon as well. This pattern is part of the set up process for us to see some very hot weather by the end of the week.

Warm fronts typically bring in light but steady precipitation for longer periods of time...VS cold fronts that bring in heavier precipitation for shorter amounts of time. So then, expect areas of rain west, pushing east through the day. That said, if you are in southern Oregon today, like Medford, you should stay mostly dry.

Temperatures won't be all that warm today, but tomorrow the warm up begins. In fact, the showers will be on the decrease tomorrow and the sunshine will start moving back in. Thursday the really warm weather will move back in, and stay with us through Saturday. We have a legitimate chance to break or tie some records across the Northwest through Saturday. Sunday a cooler more marine airmass will start to move in for more clouds and cooler weather. Enjoy!
Have a great Tuesday!
