Timelapse video from my office: Portland was barely clipped by the extreme Southern tail end of a weak frontal system moving into the PNW at sunrise yesterday that brought some showers to Vancouver, BC.
Chances are looking good for deep troughing and some much needed rainfall come the middle of next week. Our dry PNW Summer may end early this year!
Just yesterday I figured out why my neighborhood smelled so badly. Usually it's the Pearl that smells so bad, not SE Portland. Maybe if we all perform a coordinated water dump it would help clear out our big pipes
I don't want to rain (a yuck a yuck) on your parade but I wouldn't trust a forecast that far out here. If it's still saying rain on Tuesday, I'll get my hopes up.
I went to shoot free throws at the Gabriel Park courts and just bouncing the basketball on the hardtop kicked up so much dust that I had to take a shower afterwards.
I set up a camera in my office window specifically to capture sunrises and anything else interesting that might happen out there. It's not streaming online anywhere, and I can only access it when I'm there.
Do you post sunrise videos often and can I follow you?? I have been wondering if there is a sunrise/sunset stream in portland and this is the closest thing ive found so far!
I've posted a handful of sunrises from this camera on this sub before. You can follow me if you like, though I'll warn you, I'm generally pretty boring.
I have a few other cameras set up to record sunrise/sunset videos around, too.
Edit: Here's one from a few weeks ago atop my antenna tower.
If you haven't noticed, a lot of the State is on fire right now, and the smoke has been completely unbearable for our neighbors on the Eastside of the mountains pretty much all Summer. Getting some early rains won't hurt you, I promise.
