Portland Prepares for Showers and Storms with Veterans Day Thunder Expected Amid Ongoing Rain

Residents of Portland should brace themselves for a wet and possibly thundery week ahead, as the National Weather Service in Portland predicts a series of showers and storms rolling in over the city. According to the latest update by the

NWS

, the likelihood of showers increases throughout today, with temperatures hovering near 58 degrees and a subtle breeze turning southeasterly in the afternoon. “Showers likely, mainly after 4pm,” with “new precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible,” indicates a damp evening in the making.

As the city tucks in for the night, showers are expected to persist, escalating into rain after 10 p.m. With the southeast wind switching south southwest and gusting at up to 20 mph, Portlanders are advised to secure outdoor items before bedding down. Having gusts as strong as 20 mph, the wind’s shift could bring more than just a quarter-inch of unwelcome showers tonight.

Veterans Day will not provide a respite from the deluge, as persistent rain is expected to be punctuated by thunderstorms in the afternoon hours. The steady temperature around 52 degrees will be of little consolation amidst gusting winds and the near certainty of rain. Residents should anticipate the downpour, with “new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible,” so keeping an umbrella close at hand would be prudent, according to the

forecast.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, the pattern of rain continues unabated with 100% chance of showers and a similar forecast for the night. The dreariness leeching into Wednesday, with rain and thunderstorms once again taking the stage. The rain is expected to continue through Friday, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures slowly reaching 50 degrees later in the week.
