Strong thunderstorms possible
Watch the story
May 16, 2012 at 2:35 AM
Good morning!  Glad I was wrong about how much sun we would see yesterday.  It was a pleasant surprise.  We did see scattered showers and thunderstorms last night and the coast may see a few go by this morning.  Otherwise, low clouds and fog will turn into a mix of clouds and hazy sunshine.  Fog...more may hug the coast most of the day east of Portland.  A cold front will fire off another round of showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and evening.  Some storms could contain hail, strong winds and heavy downpours.  Storms will weaken as they push towards the coast.  Things clear out overnight as the front heads out to sea.  High pressure builds in tomorrow and will stick around through the weekend bringing us some real nice weather, so get out and enjoy!  Have a good day!!
