April finished as the driest month in the record book for Portland, both at PDX and the downtown location. Records at PDX date back to 1941 and downtown back to 1871. Until we pick up a few good soaks, a much drier than normal spring will continue to be a big weather story. PDX is running at 29% of normal precipitation dating back to March 1st. Current May rainfall outlooks suggest a total between 1.00 - 2.00" at most for the month.
The graphic below shows total monthly rainfall compared to the climate average.
