Portland is starting Saturday under cloudy skies and temperatures around 57 degrees, but the gray should give way to a mostly sunny afternoon. Patchy fog is expected between 7 and 9 a.m., followed by a high near 72 as light northwest winds barely stir the air.
Fog Clears Before A Comfortable Afternoon
The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly sunny skies from late morning through the afternoon, with temperatures climbing through the 60s before reaching the low 70s. Rain is unlikely Saturday, with the chance staying below 10% through the day, according to the National Weather Service.
Saturday night turns mostly cloudy, with a slight chance of showers after 4 a.m. and a low near 55. Sunday remains mild at around 72 degrees, but a 20% chance of showers could complicate outdoor plans, especially during the daytime.
Labor Day Stays Dry Before The Warmup
Showers could linger into Sunday evening before skies turn partly cloudy. Labor Day Monday looks mostly sunny and dry, with another high near 72 and light winds.
The warmer turn arrives Tuesday, when Portland could reach 77 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Wednesday is currently the standout warm day, with sunshine and a high near 85, before temperatures ease back to around 81 Thursday and 75 Friday, when a slight chance of rain returns.
No Advisories, But Strong Showers Could Pack A Punch
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Portland area. The broader weather pattern remains somewhat unsettled through the weekend, and the weather service says any stronger shower or isolated thunderstorm could bring a brief heavy downpour, small hail or gusty winds, even though the odds in Portland remain relatively low.
