The National Weather Service says a string of rains will saturate Portland over the next week, so people should have their umbrellas handy. A thorough forecast indicates that rain showers will continue, with a 90% likelihood of precipitation today. Despite a moderate morning that will gradually give way to an east breeze of 5 to 9 mph later in the afternoon, the city will see a high of almost 47 degrees. Rainfall accumulations ranging from a tenth to a quarter of an inch are feasible.
There won’t be much of a break from the daily gloom tonight as the rains are expected to last until after midnight. The average temperature will be 43 degrees. Some of the rain should be gently pushed away by the east-southeast wind, which is still blowing at around 5 mph. The NWS reports that the “Chance of precipitation is 80%,” with additional rainfall totals reflecting those of the day.
With a high of almost 49 degrees and a southeast breeze of around 6 mph, the showers appear determined to continue as we move into Monday. Precipitation is 90% likely to persist into the beginning of the week, according to the NWS. Given that showers are probably going to occur mostly before 10 p.m. on Monday, this could provide some respite. Even though there will still be clouds, the calm winds may cause the low temperature at night to drop to around 41 degrees.
With a 40% chance of showers on Tuesday, the week will continue to be damp, but there may be a brief break in the clouds during the day. With a high of about 49 degrees on Tuesday and calm winds predicted, the weather pattern should be somewhat predictable. “Mostly cloudy, with a low around 40,” according to the NWS, is the forecast for Tuesday night’s patchy fog.
There is really little indication of progress on Wednesday. A break in the clouds is anticipated with partly clear skies and a high of almost 48 degrees. As the temperature drops to about 35 degrees on Wednesday night, the pattern of nocturnal fog persists. With partly sunny skies and a high of about 47 degrees, the outlook looks good for those anticipating Thanksgiving Day.
Thursday night’s partly cloudy skies will bring lows of about 32 degrees as the weekend draws near. According to the National Weather Service, Friday’s prediction calls for highs of about 46 degrees and lows of about 34 degrees at night, which is consistent with sunny days and partly overcast evenings. In summary, Saturday looks to be partly sunny with highs that are once again close to 46 degrees.
