Looks like the SE valley was the hottest location. Looks like here, Cottage Grove and Dexter/Lowell all broke into the mid-80s.

Really impressive GFS run if you're a fan of cool northerly flow and chilly nights.  The meteograms spit out numerous lows below 40 for the cooler locations.  Looks like this will be the second consecutive month to feature a huge range between the average high and average low.

Well it looks like we will be picking up a max of about a third of an inch of rain for the remainder of the forecast period. Driest spring on record seems like a lock, and rain that falls down this way evaporates almost immediately this time of year.

Still some blue sky here... but winter is about to make a comeback.

Highs in the 60s is just normal spring weather out there, right? Average highs in July are in the mid-70s for North Bend.

12z GFS goes cutoff crazy over the NPAC again after D7. The amount of effort it puts in to get there is awe inspiring.

Whatever gives us the least rain and cool temps possible will verify no matter how improbable it looks.

It’ll warm up towards Memorial Day, but should be a more muted signal compared to recent warmth. Not too far from average.

In fact much of June could be “ho-hum” out there, without too many extremes in either direction. Warmest period is likely mid-June. Some of the subseasonal analogs do bring in pretty substantial troughing later in June, which makes sense assuming we continue with the MJO cycle of recent months (which would place subsidence in the WPAC around that time).

This doesn't really negate my last statement.

It does by default, because it negates the bizarre GFS solution, which would have to verify for your statement to be accurate. 🙂

56 here...feels pretty nice today. Yesterday I was working outside all day in the sun and didn’t drink enough water. Guess you could describe it as “heat exhaustion”. Was only in the mid 70s yesterday but still enough to do a number on you working hard outside all day so thankful for the cooler weather for sure.

Yeah, dehydration hits quick. I’ve had more than my fair share of dog day dizzy spells.

Same here, we just had our fence replaced and they did an absolute crap job on the staining.  I spent a good chunk of the day in a Tyvek suit and respirator fixing it.  I tried to stay hydrated but based on how I felt last night and today I'm thinking I didn't do as good as I thought I did.  I did at least manage to avoid getting sunburned.

We got up to about 74-75 yesterday, and had a big blast of wind around 4:30-5 this morning.  A trace of rain about 8am and now the sun is trying to burn through the clouds with the temp sitting at 60 degrees.

I hear there was a winter up that way. We're in our typical 8-month fallspring down here. Ground is cracked but at least the weeds are having trouble growing.

Yeah I work outside all day and it hit me like a ton of bricks when I got home. Still don’t feel too great today. Would’ve been more miserable if we’d been in the 70s again today. Suns out here a bit but only 60 here.

12z GFS and ECMWF were fairly similar at the surface in the short term. Both drop between .50 - .70 inches of rain here between now and Thursday, which would put us up to 83-88% of normal precip for May. It then dries out for the majority of Thursday-Sunday besides a little light rain Sunday morning.

Sounds pretty good to me.

Would put us at about 60% of normal here. Think your area along with the EPSL did better than near the sound a couple weeks ago with rainfall.

Major yikes..nothing but death ridges on the new EPS weeklies. Basically no below average temperatures anywhere in the lower-48. Even the PNW roasts.
