Welcome Back! Sorry for the delay in getting the link working from KPTV.COM, but it’s all back together and you can look for more weather information coming to the website soon.
Nice round of thunderstorms still firing over the Cascades and Central Oregon at this hour. 22,000 customers in Bend out of power this evening with hail up to 1" in the area. With straight southerly flow the storms have remained over and east of the Cascades.
Looks like much weaker storms tomorrow and not as many either. The big story west of the Cascades will be the rapidly thickening marine layer over the next few days, especially Wednesday & Thursday. We haven’t seen a high temperature here in Portland below 80 degrees in 11 days here. But that will change either tomorrow or Wednesday with the cooling. Rain appears unlikely since the trough that swings through our area Thursday will be too weak to produce any…Mark

Very strange storm overhead. I mean very strange cloud structure. A lot of turbulence aloft. The echo on radar is almost a bow. The lightning is really increasing. We might need to watch this one.

Got a bolt lol,
Very dark out my window. Picking up lightning on AM radio a bit more frequently.
Distant thunder here in Oregon City.
a smaller cell developed northeast of the larger one.
That was a nice storm, but I think that the atmosphere away from the cascades just doesn’t have enough juice to keep the storms going.
Nothing much going on near my location right now, just warm and sticky.. But just checked the latest from the SPC and it seems that overnight may be pretty active.. More storms are firing along the stationary front to my north (that is drifting south), im in the 5% area for tornados. Im expecting some sort of new watch to be issued sometime, since the current watch ends in an hour. Right around 80 right now, only suppose to get down to 74 tonight, looking forward to FROPA tomorrow to get rid of the humidity.
Yeah that little cell is our last chance for weeks Derek Lol. Sad pathetic storms here.
But when the storm moves through, it will help in stabilizing the atmosphere.
I am figuring that we will get something, that cell isn’t weakening. And even if it does probably at least enough to wetten everything up.
