Portland is starting Tuesday with clear skies and a cool 59°F at Portland International Airport, but the city is headed for a sunny afternoon near 83°F. The rain jacket can stay home: rain chances are just 1%, and a light north-northwest breeze will build from 2 to 7 mph. The bigger forecast story is a brief Wednesday cooldown before another warm, dry run into the weekend.
Sunny Tuesday, Cooler Wednesday
Temperatures should climb through 72°F around noon and reach the low 80s by midafternoon, with the strongest breeze arriving late in the day. According to National Weather Service Portland, skies remain mostly clear tonight, with a low near 59°F and northwest winds up to 8 mph.
Clouds Return Before Weekend Warm-Up
Wednesday turns partly sunny and cooler, topping out near 79°F as more marine cloud cover pushes inland. Portland should stay dry, though coastal areas could see a gray start and a little drizzle. By Thursday, highs rebound to about 83°F, followed by 84°F Friday.
Weekend Plans Look Mostly Dry
Saturday and Sunday are forecast to reach around 85°F under mostly sunny to partly sunny skies, with overnight lows near 60°F. Rain chances stay near zero through Saturday and only edge up Sunday, while winds remain light. A slight chance of light rain appears after 5 p.m. Monday, when the high should be near 81°F.
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Portland area. For outdoor plans, the cooler morning hours will be the easiest time to get moving, while shade and water will become more useful as afternoon temperatures settle into the 80s.
