Rain and cold smash 100-year-old records
May's weather took a sharp turn last week and then an even more dramatic
turn this week, dumping winter-like rains and well below average
temperatures on Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Wednesday's whopping 1.19 inches of rain at Portland International Airport
not only set a record for the date, it was the rainiest day of 2013 and the
wettest day in the Portland metropolitan area since last November 19. That
day, 1.86 inches fell, all part of a massive fall storm that damaged
buildings on the Oregon Coast.
