Degree Range

There’s a new ’twist’ in the outlook the next couple of weeks.  ☕️ Mug time.

For this week, expect temps to continue in the 85-95 degree range, with Tue likely to push above the high side of that range; 96-100 possible in portions of western OR.  The lower end of that range will likely arrive Wed-Fri July 17-19.  Puget Sound region a bit cooler, of course.  Humidity will likely increase mid-week, with chance for thunderstorms along the Cascade Range, south-to-north.

The coming weekend - July 20,21 - is trending with temps climbing back up into the higher end of the range noted above.  Rather warm around the Puget Sound, north this weekend, as well.  After that, a pleasant cooling trend is likely.

The week of July 22 - 26 will present the first significant cooling down period of July.  A notable onshore push will arrive, as a trough approaches from the NW on Mon, ushering in marine clouds, drizzle along the coast, and even a chance for a shower or two over the Puget Sound & southern BC.  Strong westerly in the Columbia River Gorge; breezy elsewhere.  Coolest days will be Tue & Wed (70s).  By Fri, temperatures will begin to elevate once again. 

The last weekend of July is looking to rather hot.  Temps in the 90s probable; lower 100s southern OR.  Cooler pattern again the following week, but that’s too far out for ‘forecast’, per say.
