Oregon — A cool, calm morning greets Portland as clouds thin and daylight brightens the skyline. Pavement is dry for now, and the air feels mild for early February.
Temperatures start the day near 48 degrees, with light winds and partial cloud cover. Skies gradually clear by midmorning, allowing sunshine to take over. Afternoon highs climb to around 61 degrees, well above normal for winter. It’s a good window for travel, errands, or outdoor plans.
Tonight stays quiet and mostly clear. Lows dip into the low 40s, cool but not cold enough for frost concerns. Thursday brings another dry day. Sunshine dominates, and highs hover near 59 degrees. Gusts may pick up slightly during the afternoon, though impacts remain limited.
Friday continues the mild stretch. Expect mostly sunny skies and highs again near 59 degrees. To be fair, this calm pattern is living on borrowed time. Changes begin as the weekend approaches.
By Saturday morning, clouds increase. A chance of rain develops late morning into the afternoon, with highs near 57 degrees. Roads may turn slick by evening as rain chances rise. Plan extra time if traveling after dark. Saturday night looks wetter, and rain becomes more persistent.
Sunday turns fully unsettled. Rain is likely throughout the day, with highs cooling to the low 50s. While snow is not expected in the metro area, damp and gray conditions may reduce visibility during heavier showers. Keep rain gear handy and expect slower travel on area roads.
Early next week stays active with occasional rain chances and slightly cooler temperatures. Looking ahead into the 6–10 day window, signs point toward a gradual warming trend returning later next week, hinting at early spring vibes.
For now, enjoy the dry break while it lasts. Rain returns soon. How are conditions shaping up in your neighborhood this morning?
