A good example of this inversion is, today at noon the temperature at Portland airport was 35 while at the same time Timberline lodge was 48. The high at PDX was only 36 today and in Battle Ground here I got a high 33!
Here in the image below are the KPTV tower temps.
As you can see the temp on the bottom sensor is almost 20 degrees cooler then the one on top which is completely opposite of how it normally is.
This inversion has also given us a lot of dense fog and at night freezing fog so be careful driving in the mornings.
The image below is a great shot of the inversion today taken by Tyler Mode.
This was taken from Silver Star Mt. and below you can see the Vancouver metro area socked in with fog.
As for the forecast Saturday looks to have a small chance of some rain but the rest of the week will be dry.
