Portland's hitting near ninety degrees today. That's not a typo.
The more important development isn't the heat itself. It's what the heat is setting up for tonight.
Overnight, scattered showers begin. That's the start of a multi-day pattern that runs through Friday.
The bigger picture here is the swing. Today is the peak.
For today specifically: dress for the heat, but keep something for later. If you're carrying a bag, a light layer for the evening makes sense.
The two things worth watching going forward: whether tonight's thunderstorm activity is more widespread than currently forecast, and how quickly the cool-down takes hold heading into the weekend. Both remain slightly open questions.
