Yesterday the local metereologists announced that it looks like summer here in the Willamette valley may be canceled. July temperature are predicted to be mid 60s to low 70s and -surprise - wetter than normal. Our range of weather looks like "partly sunny" to "mostly cloudy."Today I checked the forecast for Phantom Ranch in the Grand Canyon. I head out on my trip on Thursday - flying in to Las Vegas and then early Friday morning we are bussed to the put-in at Lees Ferry.
In contrast to the local predictions, here's what we can expect in terms of the weather on our 8-day rafting trip.
Friday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 111. Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 75.
Saturday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 104. Saturday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 72.
Sunday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 103. Sunday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 74.
Monday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 110.
