The City of Portland is experiencing overcast weather conditions, with the temperature at 43°F and humidity at 76%. Residents can expect the overcast to give way eventually to sunshine with calm winds, as the high for today is predicted to be near 52 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

As night falls, patchy fog will be between 10pm and 11pm before clearing up. The temperatures are expected to drop to a low around 38, with a calm wind shifting north-northeast at about 5 mph after midnight. The transition to clearer skies may quickly come, indicative of the calm before a predictable shift in the city's weather narrative.

Thursday promises mostly sunny skies again, with a high near 50 degrees and a mild east-northeast wind circulating at 6 mph. As the day extends into the night, increasing clouds will take hold, setting up the stage for a low of around 37 degrees with the same mild east-northeast winds that will become calm later in the evening.

Friday's forecast, however, signals a pivot in conditions, ushering in rain mainly before 4pm with a high near 48. Calm wind will transition to the west around 6 mph in the morning. "Chance of precipitation is 100%," with new precipitation amounts expected to be between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, per the National Weather Service report.

The remainder of the week oscillates with varying chances of showers and partial clearings—Friday night holds a 40 percent chance of showers until the early hours. In comparison, Saturday dips to a 20 percent chance of showers before mid-morning, leading into a mostly cloudy day with a high near 46. The pattern persists, with Sundays offering a chance of showers before 10am followed by a partly sunny high near 47, while the start of the new week suggests mostly sunny days with highs in the mid-40s and slightly chillier nights.
