Portland residents can enjoy a spell of clear skies and pleasant temperatures this week according to the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service. Early risers on June 2 were greeted with a clear morning and temperatures hovering in the low 50s, with the day's high expected to reach a comfortable 77 degrees. A calm wind, becoming north northwest at 5 to 8 mph, was expected to accompany the sunny conditions.
As evening settles in, the temperatures are slated to dip to around 50 degrees, with the north northwest wind calming after midnight. The mild weather is nothing sort of a reprieve for Portlanders who have dealt with the capriciousness of Pacific Northwest weather. The National Weather Service's detailed forecast anticipates similar conditions throughout the rest of the week.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, a sunny day with a high around 80 is forecasted, along with calm winds turning to north northwest around 6 mph in the afternoon. The pattern of clear skies and light winds is predicted to hold steady until Wednesday night, when clouds are expected to increase, giving a low around 54 degrees. Yet, the sun will make its return shortly, shining upon a slightly cooled high near 75 degrees on Wednesday.
The general outlook maintains a mostly sunny garnish for the rest of the week, with daytime highs often cresting the 80-degree mark and nighttime lows comfortably settling in the mid-50s. Come the weekend, Portlanders can expect a gradual transition to full sunshine with a high soaring near 85 on Saturday followed by a balmy high near 91 degrees by Sunday.
