Probably around 4:30 local is when the storms are supposed to start firing.

Ahh ok, thanks!

I do believe this is the first time I've pulled up any of the PNW region NEXRAD sites on my GR Level 3.

It's super muggy and it's starting to cloud over. A little wind picking up. I've never been in severe weather before so this is my first time. But it feels like things are brewing.

If this was a tornado watch a bit more historic but ..

First ever Severe Thunderstorm Watch in March for NWS Portland, Oregon CWA

 

[Holliemaea]

It is hot, but with a few sprinkles coming out of the sky. I can't tell you how unusual that combination is here in Portland. Especially this time of year. Normally when it is all clouded over in March it's 40 degrees cooler than it is right now.

I'm curious if we actually get any severe activity. Everything is just rain showers with an isolated thunderstorm northeast of Portland right now.

The svr WW doesn’t expire for another 4 hours lol

If you bring up the Medford, OR radar, you might be interested in what looks like is trying to fire just north of Medford

I understand that, but if you have rain throughout the WW area, it should greatly limit the severe weather chances due to the cooled air.

Sometimes yes… sometimes no. Nothing is 100% until it happens. The weather is. It as simple as a lot of people think.

The SPC just issued MD# 267. If you have not already, I would go read it

And as I type this the SPC just issued their latest D1 update.

It may produce and it may not….

Look man, my opinion is that due to all of the rain over the WW area has greatly deteriorated the chances for severe thunderstorms. Could a storm still hit severe criteria? Sure, it could, but I believe it's highly unlikely, due to all the rain that has kind of just sat over the WW area for the past few hours now. Temperatures across the region are in the mid to upper 50's. Fill free to disagree, but that's my take.
