Portland is waking up Saturday under cloudy skies and temperatures around 55 degrees, with a chance of light rain before 8 a.m. The payoff arrives later: clouds should break into partly sunny skies, with a high near 67 before temperatures ease into the mid-60s.
Rain Early, Clearer By Afternoon
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday’s showers should be light and brief, with drier conditions settling in by afternoon. Northwest winds around 5 knots will follow the front, and Saturday night should turn mostly clear with a low near 45.
Sunday Stays Mild Before A Cooler Stretch
Sunday looks like the easiest day for outdoor plans, bringing partly sunny skies and a high near 66. Monday turns mostly cloudy and cooler, topping out near 61; a patch of fog could develop late Saturday morning, while Tuesday should bring sunshine and a high near 65.
After Friday’s warm setup, the weekend forecast is a quick return to more classic mid-October weather, as Hoodline’s earlier forecast anticipated. The week ahead stays mostly dry through Wednesday, with sunny skies and a high near 68; temperatures warm into the mid-to-upper 60s through mid-Thursday, with rain chances returning Thursday afternoon.
Regional Travelers Should Watch For Frost
A Frost Advisory is in effect for the Upper Hood River Valley from 11 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday, where temperatures could dip into the mid-30s. Portland itself has no active weather alert in the current report, but coastal visitors should use extra caution near the water this weekend because rising swell could increase sneaker-wave risk.
