Portland residents can expect a dynamic weather pattern in the coming week, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The skies over the city will shift from scattered showers and thunderstorms to sunny clear days. This weather variability commences with overnight scattered showers and thunderstorms and a persistence of widespread haze. The NWS has recorded the current temperature as a comfortable 66°F, but Portlanders should be prepared for temperatures to rise.

By afternoon, however, the Northwest wind should usher in calmer, clearer skies with temperatures climbing to a high near 84°F.

Heading into the week, Monday offers a similar pattern: morning clouds followed by gradual clearing and a high near 78°F.
