Portland Area Weather On Last Full Day Of Summer Should Pass 80

PORTLAND, OR – Summer may not be leaving with a bang but it should certainly leave a smile on your face.

The National Weather Service says it should be mostly clear all day, with almost no wind. That means it's unlikely that smoke from any of the fires in the Northwest will reach us, keeping the air quality in the excellent range.

If all goes well, the National Weather Service says that we could see another 80 degree on Friday, which wold set a new record.

Of course, now that I've written this, the temperature will probably hit 79 and start falling.

Either way, enjoy the last day of summer. Fall will be here on Wednesday.
