Same here. It was cloudy all day here so much cooler than the past few days although a bit muggy. High of 71F. We had strong west winds earlier this evening which generally means you can forget about any tstorm chances.

[Jesse]

Down to 51 degrees with clear skies and calm winds. Air is still moist from the rain earlier, feels great out there.

[TacomaWaWx]

Low of 50 this morning...51 currently. Only had 0.02” yesterday to push us to 0.54” for the month. Should be more rain today tomorrow and over the next week on and off so that number will change. Models look decently wet for this time of year...4 out of the last 5 mays have been dry and uninteresting but this year continues to have a nice variety of weather.

[TT-SEA]

Partly sunny and 53 here this morning... there was only a little light rain yesterday evening out here.

 

[ShawniganLake]

.34” of rain overnight here. 50 this morning

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Light rain and 50 this morning.

Around 0.27" here last night, better than I was expecting.

[TacomaWaWx]

52 and light rain...0.01” this morning so far. Judging by radar...looks like there’s going to be quite a bit of light rain today.

[Jesse]

Nice morning, steady rain here and 54 degrees.

[TT-SEA]

61 and partly sunny here... rain is not in a hurry to move north.

At least it's only green blobs on radar, so it doesn't look like we're missing out on too much.

Rain is rain kiddo, and we are way behind.

[Jesse]

Always nice to see an outpouring of love for a rainy day on NWS Portland’s Facebook page. Most locals around here are not actually rain haters as you would be lead to believe.

 

[El_Nina]

Up to 0.16" this morning with steady rain.

55F with some light rain at times.  Looks like around .15" or so thus far.  We sure need every drop we can get here.

[TT-SEA]

No accident there.

 

And the fact that it triggered you (I thought it might) also speaks to yours. Sun is KING.

 

I don't care if you want rain every single day.     You really take offense with those who prefer sun... making your snide comments all the time.   It bothers you so much for some reason.   

 

I have no expectation that will ever end.    But it is entertaining.   

[Jesse]

Nice looking Euro run so far.

[ShawniganLake]

Not raining here.

[Jesse]

[TacomaWaWx]

Up to 0.06” so far today. Nice warm rain.

[Jesse]

Chilly trough day 10 of the Euro.

[TacomaWaWx]

Nice looking Euro run so far.

looks like SW WA and OR get more over the next week than us up here which is good for you guys.

If you can’t beat them, copy them exactly and then make the forum even worse than it already is!

 

Permaban Jesse and Tim!

Only 0.07” of rain as of 8am.

Some rather vigorous showers appear to be heading straight for Salem.

[TT-SEA]

Radar now looking quite convective out here... still have sun breaks for now.   Has not rained yet today.

[Timmy Supercell]

Had a nice shower just come and go through here, was quick but probably the most rain I had in weeks.

 

Bit of hail as well, slightly smaller than pea size. The sky was dark enough that I was waiting for a flash of lightning but never happened 

[MossMan]

Party to mostly cloudy here at the moment.

.08” so far on the day.

[Omegaraptor]

Looks like something just passed through Salem and is heading towards my area.

A train?

[Jesse]

Some gusty south winds now. Temp is up to 60.

[TT-SEA]

EPS and GEFS have been showing cool weather into next week and then ridging developing later next week in time from Memorial Day weekend.

 

That would be ideal.
