Portland set a new rainfall record on Monday with 1.02 inches of constant rain which smashed the old record for the date of .54 inches (set in 1970). Troutdale too set a record with 0.95 inches topping 0.82 set in 1996.

Welcome to the spring of 2017 in Portland - where you can't even play in the public parks due to swamp-like conditions. Portland Parks & Recreation sent a warning to ball players Monday that most fields are "open for permitted games only" and not for practices. Teams will have to get by on talent alone, apparently.

The department also warns in the release:

If there is standing water or visible mud on a field, do not play.

If you step on your field and sink down an inch or more, do not play.

Do not try to remove any water, dirt or mud from fields.

A new wet weather front offshore Tuesday morning will spread more clouds and rain to the coast by mid-morning, with rain spreading across the metro area late in the morning into early afternoon. Tuesday's high is forecast for 59.

We might get a small break in the rain later Tuesday evening before the next system arrives very early Wednesday morning with rain increasing starting along the coast. Wednesday will include rain and showers with temperatures in the high 50s.

Thursday might include some clearing periods as forecasters are looking at a 50 percent chance of showers. Still, it might be Friday again before we see any lingering sun breaks.
