00:00 Well, in our final days of summer,
00:02 a lot of us are going to be
00:04 feeling a drastic cool down,
00:06 especially when we compare temperatures
00:08 to where we topped out Sunday
00:10 afternoon into Spokane 78.
00:11 Portland and Oregon 89.
00:12 Boise hit 88 in Reno hit 89,
00:15 but our temperatures through today
00:17 only into the mid 60s.
00:19 Portland will get to the 70s.
00:21 It's all thanks to the big dip in the
00:24 jet stream here as we're talking about.
00:26 Temperatures running anywhere from
00:28 10 to 15 degrees below the historical
00:30 average so a bit unseasonably cool.
00:33 And cold enough for snow in the much
00:35 higher elevations into the mountains
00:36 are talking snow level 7 to 8000 feet,
00:39 but still a fun sight to see where
00:41 we're still technically in summer
00:43 temperatures staying well below
00:44 the historical average.
00:45 Helen only at 50 today would typically
00:47 we should be into the lower 70s.
00:49 Boise only at 65 in a Medford
00:52 temperatures stay into the 70s
00:53 and Salt Lake City only 65 degrees
00:55 today would typically we'd expect
00:57 the upper 70s into the day Friday.
00:59 Still talking about some snow into
01:01 parts of Idaho into Wyoming into
01:03 Montana as we follow the wet weather,
01:06 shifting a bit further to the east.
01:08 High pressure moving back in for
01:09 the end of our week,
01:11 bringing pretty pleasant conditions,
01:12 but temperatures will eventually
01:14 begin to warm up in some locations.
01:16 Boise back to the 70s this weekend,
01:18 but feeling that drop into Seattle
01:20 in Portland where temperatures
01:21 go from the 70s to the 60s.
01:23 As we head into our weekend.
