Jeff and Rob, thank you for sharing this picture with us. We took a look at radar around 5:12pm and there was a signal that showed very brief and very weak rotation along the Columbia River just to the NE of PDX.

Are you enjoying the cooler weather this weekend? Well then, enjoy it while you can because a warming trend is on it's way later next week, just in time for the Labor Day Weekend. The CPC suggests above normal temps are very likely (75% chance) Thu-Mon next week. #orwx #wawx

Today is the first day of meteorological fall! While the autumn equinox isn't until September 22nd, today marks the beginning of the transition between climatological summer and winter. What are your plans on this warm "first day of fall"?
