Portland is starting Monday with cool, mostly cloudy skies and a temperature near 59 degrees at Portland International Airport. The clouds should thin out as the morning goes on, setting up a mostly sunny afternoon with a high near 82 and no meaningful rain chance.
Clouds Clear For A Sunny Afternoon
A brief push of low clouds may linger across the lower Columbia River Valley and parts of the metro area early Monday, but sunshine is expected to take over later in the day. According to the National Weather Service Portland, north winds will stay light at 2 to 8 mph.
Tuesday Brings A Few Stronger Gusts
Tuesday looks sunny and slightly warmer, with a high near 83 degrees. Northwest winds could gust as high as 18 mph, especially during the afternoon and evening, so loose patio items and lightweight umbrellas may need a little attention.
Friday Looks Like The Warmest Day
Temperatures dip slightly Wednesday, when Portland should see partly sunny skies and a high near 80, before climbing to 84 Thursday. Friday is currently shaping up as the warmest day of the forecast period, with a mostly sunny high near 88, followed by highs near 87 Saturday and 85 Sunday.
Dry Weather Dominates The Week
Rain chances remain at or near zero through Thursday and stay only slightly above that for the weekend. Overnight lows should settle mostly in the upper 50s and low 60s, giving Portland relatively comfortable sleeping weather even as afternoons warm up.
The broader region may see more clouds or a little drizzle along the coast Wednesday, while any afternoon thunderstorm potential late in the week is focused mainly near the central Oregon Cascades. For Portland, the outlook is straightforward: light layers in the morning, sunshine by afternoon, and a steadily warmer finish to the week.
