"Pacific Northwest Braces for Record Rain from Back-to-Back Atmospheric Rivers"

A rare atmospheric river will bring moderate to heavy rain to the Pacific Northwest starting Sunday, with significant rainfall expected through Monday. The Oregon Coast and Cascades could see up to four inches of rain, while the Willamette Valley may receive over an inch. Cool temperatures in the low- to mid-60s will persist into the new week, transitioning to on-and-off showers by Monday afternoon. By late next week, summer-like heat will return, with temperatures in the Portland area potentially reaching the upper 80s to around 90 degrees.
