Portlanders, you might want to swap out the rain boots for some sandals as the weather takes a sunny turn this week. According to the latest bulletin from the National Weather Service in Portland, the skies above the City of Roses will shake off their gray shroud and beam a generous dose of sun, with temperatures climbing into the high 80s and possibly touching the 90s by early next week. Today, Oregon's metropolis is pulling back its cloudy curtains, with an expected high of 78 degrees – a gentle nudge towards the sizzle that's to come.
On a mostly clear night, Portlanders can anticipate the mercury to drop to around 60 degrees, setting the stage for an even warmer Friday. Just ahead of the weekend, a sunny forecast with an 88-degree high graces the city, gently propelled by a light north northwest wind gaining momentum in the morning, as reported by the National Weather Service. Evening times will flirt with cooler temps, inviting a mildly breezy 63 degrees as night swaddles the city.
The weekend is shaping up to be a toast to the sun, with both Saturday and Sunday beaming clear, sunny highs of 88 and 92 degrees respectively.
