Monday August 5
Summertime forecast - dry & warm. That’s about it for the next 11 days, then a change could be in the works. Refill your Mug and read on.
Indeed, warm-to-hot for another week, with temps presenting in the 85-95 degree range inland from the coast. This will include the coming weekend.
Models hint of a Low pressure trough moving south off the WA & OR coasts during the middle of NEXT week (~AUG 14), ushering in a period of elevated humidity & somewhat cooler temperatures. By the end of next week, that Low may move closer to the coast, and also shift back to the north - oddly without ever crossing inland - setting up the chance showers late in the week over both western OR & WA. Showers could increase by the weekend of Aug 17,18. We’ll see if this verifies. Moisture from that weak system could help tap down the forest fires, particularly in Canada.
Beyond the 18th, another Low may move southeast along the BC coast, opening the door (possibly) for additional showers around the PNW. We should get a better ‘read’ on this pattern in the next report.
