…COOL AND WET FALL-LIKE WEATHER WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT…

The weather pattern will change later this week as a series of
strong, wet cold fronts will bring an end to this long dry and hot
summer.

Overnight temperatures will cool into the lower to mid 40s tonight,
with some of our more exposed and traditionally cooler locales
dropping down into the 30s. With the potential of frost in
outlying rural areas, consider taking time and precautions to
protect any temperature sensitive plants. Afternoon high
temperatures will be in the 70s through Thursday, then cool to the
60s for Friday into this weekend.

A strong cold front will push into the region Friday night,
bringing the first significant widespread rain to the region since
last spring. Rain may be heavy along the front, and may be heavy
enough to cause localized debris flows in recently burned areas
such as Santiam Canyon, the upper McKenzie River Valley, as well
as the Bull, Middle Fork, and Rough Patch fire complexes.
Elsewhere, heavy rainfall rates Friday night may lead to some
ponding on roadways and minor urban flooding issues in areas of
poor drainage.

Overall expected rainfall amounts may still be adjusted between
now and the event, but at this point 1 to 2 inches of rain are
expected for the inland valleys by Monday morning, with 2 to 4
inches possible along the coast and across the higher terrain.

With the expected rainfall, any clogged drains or gutters could
easily overfill. With the dry weather through Thursday, consider
checking outdoor drains, roof gutters, and other areas with poor
drainage and clearing out the dead leaves and debris.

…BEACHGOERS BEWARE OF COLD OCEAN WATER…

As the region experiences dangerously hot temperatures through
Saturday, many will want to seek refuge from the heat and head to
the beach. However, some are not familiar with Oregon’s normal
beach hazards, including but not limited to rip currents, sneaker
waves and cold water temperatures. High beach visitation rates
occurred during the June heatwave, and resulted in increased
rescue rates and deaths.

Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from
shore, and can sweep even the strongest swimmer away. If at all
possible, swim near a lifeguard. Don’t swim against the current
directly to shore, swim along the shoreline until you escape the
current’s pull.

The current temperature of the ocean water along the Oregon’s
coastline ranges between 50 and 60 degrees. This impacts the body
much more severely compared to air temperature, and can lead to
loss of breathing control, heart and blood pressure problems, and
a high risk of suddenly drowning.

Therefore, residents and visitors who are planning to seek relief
at the beach from the excessive heat inland, should stay very
informed and aware of ocean hazards, wear a wetsuit and/or life
preserver if going out or in the ocean, and if possible, stay near
a lifeguard.

Special Weather Statement

National Weather Service Portland OR
556 AM PDT Sat May 29 2021

…THE WEATHER IS GETTING WARMER BUT THE WATER IS STILL COLD…

Many consider Memorial Day weekend the unofficial start of
summer, and it appears the weather is falling in line.

Afternoon temperatures today will be some 5 to 15 degrees warmer
than Friday’s high temperatures, likely reaching the lower 80s for
some of our warmer inland valleys. The warming trend will
continue through Memorial Day, with the first 90 degree readings
of the year possible inland by Tuesday.

With the weather getting warmer during this holiday weekend,
people will undoubtedly flock to area beaches, rivers, and lakes
for a weekend getaway. For those considering water activities, it
is important to remember that water temperatures are still
dangerously cold.

Whether it be rivers, lakes, or the ocean, water temperatures this
weekend are generally in the upper 40s to mid 50s. This is easily
cold enough to cause cold water shock or hypothermia, either of
which can become deadly within minutes.

Before jumping in the water, be sure you know what it takes to do
so safely. Cold water hazard and safety information can be found
online at weather.gov/safety/coldwater.
