Portland is flirting with ninety degrees today. In mid-May.
Light winds and full sun together do something specific. They remove the cooling relief you'd normally get from a breeze.
For what to wear today, the answer is layered and tactical. Step out this morning in something light.
The turn comes tonight. Showers are expected to begin this evening, earlier than was anticipated even a day ago.
The midweek cooling is now confirmed. High pressure weakens by Wednesday, and cooler, wetter conditions are expected to hold through the middle of the week.
The two things worth watching as the day develops: whether any location in the metro actually crosses ninety, and how quickly those evening showers arrive. If rain moves in earlier than forecast, the window for outdoor activity today is shorter than it looks.
