Still on track for the warmest temperatures so far this year. 3 back to back days of 90° heat in early June is unusual. Also a possibility of record tying or breaking temperatures on Saturday & Sunday. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/frc4Nph1UH

Keep an eye on the thermometer this week. The PNW dry and sunny all week long. By the weekend our first 90° days of 2025 arrive. Rules to know 1. Stay Hydrated 2. Sun screen SPF 50+ 3. Sun glasses 4. Take frequent breaks if you work outdoors #NatWxDesk https://t.co/IdxhxBkp2E

Heading to The Starlight Parade Saturday? Expect near perfect conditions. #NatWxDesk

Get set for a run of some very warm and sunny days! With the exception of Thursday high temperatures will be in the 80s this week. Saturday is the Rose Festivals Star Light Parade. It's gonna be a warm one! #NatWxDesk https://t.co/eKtA3UDp0Z

Yep, I checked the calendar, it's May not March... Didn't think I'd have to use this graphic until fall. Traveling over mountain passes Sunday morning? prepare for winter driving conditions, snow as low as 4,500 feet. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/4MPCF9b8gH

A funnel cloud dropped out of the sky near the Eugene Airport this afternoon. A broad trough of low pressure brought heavy rain showers, hail & even some snow in the mountains. Calmer conditions expected for remainder of the week. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/0KGvOTt74I

Driving up The Columbia River Gorge tonight or early Thursday? Keep both hands on the wheel, a Special Weather Statement has been issued. Peak wind gusts between 40 to 55 mph. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/kUGUPBJ2BZ

Boom! at 2:59 P.M. PDX reached 81°, that's a new record for the date. Previous 80° set in 2018. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/QscVL1OJkA

Today's high temperature in Portland, 73°. That's well shy of the record of 82 back in 2012. Thurday, that might be a different story. Keep your eye on the thermometer, we will get close possibly even tie the current record set back in 2018. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/IJZDI6m6p9

Keep an eye on the sky tonight for a chance at seeing the Aurora Borealis. Best viewing times will be between 11 PM and 2 AM. As always the best chance for seeing the lights will be away from light pollution in urban areas. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/GIchIEIV7t

Well, looks we are getting out of the risk of severe weather pretty much unscathed. Seeing showers, and thundershower but no damaging wind or hail. So what happened? Clouds and cooler air arrived sooner than forecast slowing risk of big storms developing. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/2KtOqDvbYq

Here we go, Portland weather radar now picking up thunderstorms moving north along The Coast Range. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning not in effect until 9 PM. Be ready for periods of heavy rain, large hail thunder & lightning. #NatWxDesk https://t.co/QHdOrmvGA2

Records not just broken but shattered in some cases. Portland, reached 80° today only the second time in history for the month of March. Astoria, broke a record that's stood for 136 years! Wednesday warm but also thunderstorms likely by afternoon. https://t.co/tKIBbL8qIH

March 25th 2025, heading for the record books. We have now tied the warmest temperature ever for the day. Originally set back in 1966. Chances of breaking the record look pretty good. https://t.co/Ge04ak2r5C

Interesting weather events ahead, Tuesday record breaking high temperatures, Highs topping out near 80°. Wednesday 20% - 40% chance of strong thunderstorms. Lightning, Hail, Gusty Winds & Heavy Rain possible. https://t.co/AolopboEt1

An update, NWS reports at 4:35 PM Portland hit 70°, that breaks the old record of 67 set in 1968. Vancouver also broke its old record topping out at 69°. Another sunny and warm day on tap Friday. Record for PDX on February 28th is 71° set back in 1988. https://t.co/zKLaLECTos
