Oregon — Clouds are thickening over Portland, and the air feels slightly damp as the day settles in. Pavement is still mostly dry, but conditions are shifting quickly. A more active spring weather pattern is building and will take hold later today.
Showers begin to develop by late afternoon, with rain chances increasing into the evening. A few thunderstorms may mix in, bringing brief heavier downpours. Roads across the metro, especially along I-5 and I-84, could turn slick quickly. Plan extra time for the evening commute.
Rain becomes more consistent into the night, with periods of steady showers and reduced visibility. Some rainfall could briefly pick up intensity, making travel more challenging at times. Keep headlights on and maintain safe following distances. Conditions may change quickly after sunset.
Saturday stays unsettled, with showers likely through much of the day and occasional heavier bursts possible. By Sunday, scattered showers continue, though not constant. Still, wet pavement and slower travel remain concerns. Keep rain gear handy and expect interruptions to outdoor plans.
Early next week continues the trend with lingering showers into Monday. Gradual drying begins by Tuesday, though clouds stick around. By mid to late week, temperatures trend warmer, hinting at a more stable spring pattern returning to the region.
