Portland residents can expect a gradual retreat of clouds today, giving way to clear skies and a warm high of 82 degrees. The morning's partial cloudiness is set to dissipate, paving the way for calm winds shifting north northwest this afternoon, according to the latest update from the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead to tonight, the city will see increasing clouds, with the humidity making the expected low of 56 degrees feel slightly warmer. With the wind maintaining a gentle pace from the north northwest, Portlanders preparing for the week might not be surprised finding themselves reaching for an extra layer in the evening.
The overcast conditions are slated to stick around until Sunday before conceding to mostly sunny skies, with similar patterns of cloud coverage and clearing expected into the early part of the week. Daytime temperatures will hover in the mid-70s while night-time lows will consistently stay in the mid-50s, offering residents a more temperate climate as they transition between the active day and the restive night.
By the time mid-week rolls in, Portland’s weather is forecast to remain fairly consistent, featuring partly sunny days and comfortable highs around 80 degrees. There's a slight chance of rain come Wednesday night, which might extend into Thursday, disrupting the stretch of drier weather the city has witnessed. Although the low on Wednesday night, around 62 degrees, brings a chance of rain after 11 p.m., it ensures the possibility of waking to fresh rainfall that will highly be welcomed by gardeners alike.
