Many wet days...

The last several days have been very similar. It has been wet for over a week now, and the daytime highs have been in the 60's with overnight lows in the upper 40's and lower 50's.
The nice thing is, I haven't had to water the new sod since sometime last week!

Big swing

Big swing in the weather the last two days.
Yesterday it started raining around sun-up, and the high was only in the mid 60's. This morning it was trying to sprinkle and was in the upper 40's! It is only supposed to reach the upper 50's today.

96 degrees in May!

Well, its official... we hit 96 in May.
Here is the weekend wrap up, Friday hit 91 with a low of 58, Saturday hit 96/58, and Sunday was 88/55.
How did it feel? Well, Friday was not as miserable because we had a nice breeze most of the day. Saturday was scorching though because no wind, and Sunday felt hotter than Friday even though it was cooler.

I am looking forward to it getting back to normal this week!

The heat is on!

Yep, it was hot. Yesterday got up to 89 and had a low of 54. The wind picked up in the evening to about 15mph with gusts up to 30.
I was out preparing the yard for sod by unloading a truckload of dirt, and I was sweating my ass off! haven't done that in awhile!

Here we go!

Ok, after many days of very similar temps (Dry with high of 60 and low of 40), yesterday changed a little. The temps were about the same with a high of 57, and a low of 47, but it rained most of the day. The weard thing was that the low was in the early afternoon, and the high was just before midnight.
Today is obviously going to be different. It was still pretty wet on my way to work, but the cloud layer was very thin and broken, and it was 56 degrees!
I think it will be cloudy if not foggy in the morning with all this humidity, but when that all burns up the sun will come out this afternoon and we will start our HEAT WAVE!

Same ole..

Still not many changes. Last night got down to the low 40's again, and I think there were some sprinkles sometime after midnight.
Sunday got up to 60 and down to 42, and Saturday was 62/43 with one short rainstorm that rolled through.

The big record warm up is coming later this week. The news station are predicting one and possibly two days of over 90! Last May we hit 94 on the 30th and it was the only day over 90 until July 4th. Last June the high was 88.

The Coat is back!

OBTW, my Coat went back on this morning. It got down to 42 last night!
I look forward to putting it back in the closet early next week.

90's?

Well, its been pretty much the same all week. Quite chilly in fact, with temps in the mid to upper 50's.
They say some sun today, then more Saturday. Sunday a short storm arrives, and then a big warm up. They say 90's by next Thursday! That will be miserable considering how cold it is. 80's will feel scorching at this point!

Another quick note: Most Mt. Hood campgrounds are still under snow when they are usually thinking about opening in a week or two. They say some may not open until July this year!

High of 65...

It did break 60 yesterday. The sun poked out in the late afternoon to warm it up a bit. Today looks to be the same as yesterday. Mid 60's with a chance of a shower.
It has been dry for a week now!

No Coat!

After a very nice weekend with a high of 76 on Saturday and 79 on Sunday, today is much cooler. It was about 50 this morning on my way to work though, so I went without a coat for the first time in quite awhile!
Unless the cloud cover breaks, it may not make 60 today. I am actually hoping it rains a bit since it has been dry for a few days now.

Finally..

Finally a nice dry day that allowed me to get a lot of yard work done!
It ended up getting to 62/40 and was very nice.
I couldn't help but notice there was a slight breeze this morning, and it was coming from the opposite way (NE). Must be some changes coming.

More of the same

Yesterday was 40/60 with lots of thunderstorms and sunbreaks. A bit more hail as well.
