(Portland, Oregon) – Expect the weekend and early next to veer into heatwave territory for much of inland Oregon, with near or at 100 degrees in many areas. (Yachats - Oregon Coast Beach Connection)
Also, the region hits another landmark with the last sunset after 8:30 p.m.
It's going to be quite the roller coaster ride, however. Today a fair amount of rain began. The National Weather Service (NWS) said there “will be potentially significant mid-summer rainfall amounts” through Wednesday.
Dry weather returns rather quickly by Thursday night and thus begins a warming trend that really ramps up early in the week.
“Afternoon highs are likely (75-95% chance) to exceed 90 degrees across interior valleys both Sunday and Monday,” the NWS said. “Confidence remains high that temperatures will peak on Monday, when some locations may see their first triple-digit temperature of the year, with 35-75% chances of reaching 100 degrees along the Willamette Valley.”
Even the Oregon coastline gets a bit warmer than usual.

Shorter Days
Now, days are also getting shorter. Today – Wednesday – is the last sunset after 8:30 p.m. in the Portland Metro area and Willamette Valley.
Not all parts of the Pacific Northwest experience this on the same day, however. Seattle sees its last sunset after 8:30 p.m. on August 9 (Saturday), Coos Bay will see this tomorrow (Thursday), and on Sunday it's the north Oregon coast – including Seaside, Cannon Beach, etc.
