Looks like the longevity and extremity of next weeks heat will depend on whether the low off the coast cuts off and allows the EPac high to connect with the 4CH.

The chance of comfortable nights increases even with hot days.

8 degree drop in Beaverton in the last half hour, with some marine clouds beginning to move in.

A three day heat wave with only one "stay inside" day for Portland feels like a win.

Could be worse, but I'd assume it will move towards the hotter operational in the next few days.

That's a prolific Cascade thunderstorm pattern.

And jumped right back to 98

Dropped two degrees since clouds went over. 96 now.

Skies south of Portland look rich for development, or maybe it's just smoke.

Everyone seems to think tomorrow it spikes but 850s look nearly identical.

Portland area looks like it's running even with yesterday. It has been impressive this week that with the hot atmosphere the suburbs have been able to drop into the low-mid 60s.

Still running -6 from yesterday, so Euro appears to have nailed todays forecast right, while the GFS was high.

Portland currently -6 to yesterday.

12z gfs is now very slow with the heat retreat on Saturday, but faster on Sunday.

Portland nws hedging the Tuesday temps depending on California wildfire smoke.

ETA : Copied Cascadians and edited but didn't delete the **** it. PDX: Sunday: 89/59 Monday: 96/62 Tuesday: 100/68 Wednesday: 98/69 Thursday: 98/68 Friday: 94/67 Saturday: 90/64 Sunday: 85/62

Retrogression!

Running tiny bit cooler than prior euro runs but still seems on high end.

If they don't have AC, they're seriously considering getting it. We learned our lesson after last June and got it installed in May. The miracle of comfortable sleeping makes it worth it.

Pick your poison - onshore flow and high thicknesses for a stickier feel, or offshore flow and downsloping 110+ heat from the east side.

Thursday looking like the torchiest in Portland.

GEFS supports bumping PDX highs over 100.

18z looks very slightly cooler through Wednesday.
