The weather in Portland, Oregon is taking a bit of a rollercoaster ride, as of early this morning, the skies were overcast with a temperature sitting at a cool 50°F, a humidity index at 71%, and almost no wind to speak of. But Portlanders should hold to enjoy the current calm, as chances of showers are on the horizon, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.
The city is to expect a 20 percent chance of rain post 11 am today with highs reaching near 64 and light winds turning southwest. The clear skies at night will bring lows around 43, whereas Monday forecasts promise more sun and temperatures rising up to 71. Nevertheless, those planning outdoor activities should start to consider indoor alternatives as the week progresses.
As for the rest of the week, the National Weather Service has reported that rain is more than likely on Tuesday, with a 70% chance of precipitation and potential rainfall amounts hitting a quarter of an inch. Nighttime won't spare the city either, as showers are projected to prevail until 11 pm. The waterworks continue into Wednesday with a 60% chance of rain and possible thunderstorms brewing later in the day.
While hopeful eyes might be looking for a break, showers seem determined to potentially interrupt Thursday and Friday's plans with partly sunny conditions which could easily be disrupted by light rain. Nighttime temperatures for both days are expected to hover around the upper 40s, a detail that nature enthusiasts will want to duly note if considering to experience Portland's nocturnal offerings.
