Chance of northern lights in Portland, but, of course, it's raining in July

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a chance of the northern lights reaching Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington on July 29, but rare summer rain clouds are likely to block any views.

The National Weather Service predicts that Monday’s rainstorm will shield the skies from the coast to the Cascades. Stargazers will need to head east of the Cascades for any hopes of catching the northern lights on Monday night.
