That's cool, Tim. I don't live in Portland.
I don't live in Salem either, but it is the closest major station and much more representative of the conditions we experience here... Once you see this you will square my previous statements a little better...

That's a large area of the Nation where the "Pool of Cool" will ultimately Rule...out here its cooled off into the upper 80's today/tomorrow but that comes with very high winds up to 65mph gust for N AZ (30-35mph in the valley). No rain here in the valley for the foreseeable future as the ridge fires back up later this week.
