Showers move out early Thursday morning. After that, warmer and sunny weather takes us into the Memorial Day Weekend. Sunday still look sunny and warm, but we'll have to watch for showers and thunderstorms developing over the Cascades as early as Sunday night. #kgwweather

Portland made the low 80s Tuesday and it's headed to the mid-80s Wednesday. That's followed by a quick cool-down Thursday with morning showers and highs around 70-degrees. And then it warms right back up again. Highs pop into the 80s Friday and Saturday. #kgwweather

Cooler air from the coast is flooding the western valleys and putting a quick end to our 80-degree weather. After a few light showers Thursday morning, the sky clears again. We're back in the mid-80s Friday, but cooler air returns for the weekend. #kgwweather

Wednesday brings cooler weather, lots of clouds and even a few spots of drizzle. The rest of the week looks mainly sunny and warm. The weekend brings our first 90-degree days of the year, so we're calling those Weather Impact Alert Days. #kgwweather

The average (30-year) number of 90-degree days in Portland is fifteen. But if you look at the previous graphic, the last four years have brought many more. The average over the last ten years in Portland is 23 days. The record came in 2018 with 31 days. #kgwweather

We stay dry through the week but cooler air is on the way. After making the mid-90s the last two days, we stay below 90-degrees through Wednesday and out of the 80s after that. Other than patchy morning clouds, mainly clear weather prevails. #kgwweather

Temperatures continue to cool as we go through the weekend. Patchy morning clouds will give way to sunshine and there will be occasional high clouds drifting over too. Light showers are possible Monday and Tuesday but any rain that falls will be light. #kgwweather

It's called the Strawberry Moon because it happens during strawberry season. Summer moons always hang low in the sky, but the "Major Lunar Standstill" only happens every 19 years! #kgwweather
