Oregon — Clear skies and a crisp bite greet early risers across the Portland metro. Streetlights glow against dry pavement for now. That quiet start won’t last long.
Temperatures hover in the mid-30s this morning, with calm winds and full visibility. Sunshine takes control today, pushing highs near 60. It will feel mild for February, especially during the afternoon commute. Enjoy the dry stretch while it lasts.
Clouds begin increasing late Friday as the pattern shifts. Morning fog may briefly slow travel, but skies brighten again by midday. Highs reach the upper 50s, still comfortable for outdoor plans. By Friday night, the atmosphere starts to load with moisture.
Rain arrives Saturday afternoon and spreads steadily through the evening. Roads will turn slick quickly, especially after sunset. Plan extra time if driving late Saturday or early Sunday. Visibility drops during heavier showers, and pooling water may develop on busy streets.
Sunday stays gray and wet across Portland. Rain continues through much of the day, with highs in the mid-50s. This will be a steady, soaking setup rather than brief showers. Keep rain gear close and expect slower travel.
Early next week remains unsettled, though rainfall becomes more intermittent. Temperatures stay seasonable, hovering in the low 50s during the day and low 40s at night.
Looking farther ahead, 6–10 day outlooks hint at above-normal temperatures returning later next week. That warming trend could signal a quieter stretch after this wet pattern passes.
For now, the message is simple. Enjoy the dry window today. Prepare for rain by Saturday. Wet roads and reduced visibility will shape the weekend.
