Portland’s temperatures will cool 15 degrees or more from what we endured Tuesday to Thursday’s sunny high of about 87.
The National Weather Service says west-to-southwest flow will help maintain warm conditions through the metro area Thursday and should keep the weather fairly uniform through the weekend and into next week.
Portland will see sunny skies Thursday and a light north wind blowing at about 6-11 mph in the morning. Overnight low temps reached the high 50s or low 60s in most urban locations. Open those windows and let some of that in.
Northwest Oregon and southwest Washington will see a slight warm up on Friday with temps reaching about 89 in Portland. There’s a modest chance (25-50%) of temps reaching the lower 90s Friday.
The weekend is looking clear, sunny, and warm with both Saturday and Sunday likely to reach 90 degrees. Winds will be light at about 6 mph.
There is a very small chance of thunderstorms Sunday along the southern Cascades. Models have not come into agreement yet, but those recreating in Lane County’s higher elevation should make note of the possibility.
Extended forecasts are showing more of the same with clear skies, light winds, and temps in the low 90s to kick off next week.
