Portland. Your weather app is lying to you.
Now, what is happening — and this part you should actually pay attention to — is Tuesday. Temperatures are climbing into the low eighties Tuesday afternoon.
This metro versus mountain split is worth keeping in mind more broadly right now. The Cascades are seeing the most dynamic weather while Portland itself stays in a warmer, drier pocket on Tuesday.
After Tuesday, the warm spike backs off. We're sliding back into a cooler spring pattern, which is honestly pretty typical for late May in Portland before summer locks in.
The more interesting question is next week. There's a signal for seventy-plus degree days returning, which would mark a genuine shift toward the warmer side of the seasonal ledger.
Portland. Tuesday is your standout day this week, low eighties, some thunder in the hills.
