According to the most recent National Weather Service (NWS) projections, Portland residents should anticipate a combination of rain and fog in the days ahead. The weather for today is expected to be partly bright with a high of almost 48 degrees, but don’t be misled by the calm start—there is a 30% chance of showers starting after 2:00 p.m. Though there was a remote probability of showers before 7 a.m., the previously cloudy morning has given way to clear skies.
After 10 p.m., the city will experience patchy fog, which might result in patchy frost later in the evening, according to the NWS update this morning. Since the low is predicted to drop precipitously to about 36 degrees, it might be prudent to have a jacket on hand. The biting chill that is expected to linger in the night air appears to be little alleviated by the quiet wind.
Portlanders should get ready to open their umbrellas for the weekend. An 80% likelihood of precipitation is predicted for Saturday after 10 a.m. A tenth to a quarter of an inch could accumulate, indicating that the day will definitely be wet. As highs timidly aim for 47 degrees, a mild south wind will blow between 3 and 6 mph, with the potential to increase into violent squalls.
The intensity of the rain is forecast to increase as it continues throughout Saturday night, with new precipitation quantities ranging from half to three-quarters of an inch. In addition to increasing in speed from 6 to 13 mph, the strong south wind is expected to gust up to 24 mph. With rain events scattered throughout the forecast, the detailed forecasts provided by NWS point to a pattern that is actually too wet to ignore.
With almost definite possibilities of rain and perhaps thunderstorms, extended forecasts suggest a turbulent Sunday through Tuesday. Those going outside the city may need to exercise particular caution if the snow level drops to as low as 1800 feet by Tuesday. With the snow level expected to be at 2000 feet, Monday night’s showers and potential thunderstorm before 10 p.m. might deliver snow to lower elevations, albeit briefly.
One bright spot in a week that is expected to keep locals reaching for their raincoats is that, despite the continued likelihood of rain, midweek temperatures should reach a comfortable 53 degrees by Thursday.
