A year ago, we were bundling up and shivering in our boots. Today we’re thinking of wearing flip flops as temperatures dance near to 60 degrees again.

It certainly feels like spring outside this afternoon, with some locations getting up into the low 60°s. Salem and Eugene are close to records for this date (63°). #orwx #wawx pic.twitter.com/eoCRz1vpcT — NWS Portland (@NWSPortland) January 28, 2018

On Sunday, a large portion of the Willamette Valley saw temperatures close to (or even higher) than 60 degrees. It certainly feels more like spring than mid winter.



The National Weather Service reports that, so far, in Portland there have been 24 days with above normal temperatures (and we're not done with January). In 2017, Portland didn't see its 24th day of above normal temps until April 5.

1/29 Front Front will be slow to move across the area today. Steady rain overspreads the Portland metro area by mid afternoon and reaches Salem and Eugene during the evening hours. Posted by US National Weather Service Portland Oregon on Monday, January 29, 2018

Monday will see some rain to go along with the high of 59. Most of the rain will fall after about 10 a.m. and the heavier rain will show up in the later afternoon. This system will also bring a cooler more seasonable air mass into the region. But don’t expect a frost. High temperatures through mid-week will still be in the mid-40s.

Snow levels have remained high since climbing up over the passes during the weekend. Levels should drop to below the passes by Tuesday morning. By Tuesday night snow levels will fall to 2,000-3,000 feet in the Cascades. With some light precipitation, passes could see accumulations of a few inches.
