One Day Shy Of Record

By Rod Hill on 2009-08-28


 

    Thursday's high at PDX of 92 degrees becomes the 22nd day of the year - one shy of the 1987 record.  Tough to say if any more 90 degree days are in our future this year.  The latest we have seen 90 degrees is Oct. 5,  1980. 

If you have plans to go camping or spend time outdoors this coming Labor Day weekend.  Early indications call for cool temperatures near 70 degrees and possible showers the first part of the 3-day weekend.  Of course, there is lots of time for the forecast to change!  The first two weeks of September are expected to be near normal and mostly dry.  Near normal indicates high temperatures in the 70s to near 80 degrees.  Autumn begins this year, September 22nd.  We have just over three more weeks of summer!
