Thursday and Friday will deliver the first back to back 70 degree days since September. Any temperature tomorrow above 73 will become the warmest of the year to date. No records expected, but the warming temperatures will be welcome. Most records this time of the year sit between 85 and 95 degrees. The fact that PDX has only reached 70 or higher three times this year can be considered on the cool side. Looking at the past 10 years, most spring seasons produced 7-10 seventy degree days by the middle of May. Last year, we had already had back to back 80 degree days. Enjoy the warm weather and what should be mostly sunny skies.
