In the office today, we're having a debate on whether or not today is the perfect day. High temps will still rise in the afternoon, but areas with clouds won't warm up too much more. Lows tonight into tomorrow are expected to be in the 40s. #ORWX #WAWX 💐🌷

With daytime highs in the 80s tomorrow, there could be an increased desire to swim in rivers, streams, and lakes. Be cognizant that warmer temperatures do not mean warmer water and there is risk associated with swimming in cold water. Be aware and stay safe! #ORWX #WAWX

Today will be the warmest day of the week as temperatures climb into the 80s throughout much of NW Oregon & SW Washington. The coast will stay mild, but for the urban areas around the Greater Portland/Vancouver Metro, & the lower I-5 corridor, conditions will be much warmer.
