Portland, OR – Rain is likely to dampen Portland’s Tuesday afternoon and evening, with a potential for slick conditions along I-84 and I-205 through early evening. South winds and patchy rain could create delays for commuters and anyone heading to after-school or evening events.

According to the National Weather Service, showers are expected mainly between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, with a 60% chance of rain and brief wind gusts up to 8 mph. While accumulation should stay light, roads may be slick, and reduced visibility could be a concern during peak travel times. High temperatures will reach the low 60s, with winds from the south around 6 mph.

Tuesday night brings a 20% chance of lingering sprinkles before skies clear by morning. Wednesday marks a notable shift: mostly sunny skies with a high near 67°F and calmer northwest winds. That trend continues into Thursday, with even warmer conditions and highs nearing 69°F under clear skies.

Looking ahead to the five-day forecast:

  • Friday: Mostly sunny, high near 69°F
  • Saturday: High pressure builds, highs climb to 72°F
  • Sunday: Early taste of summer—sunny and near 80°F
  • Memorial Day (Monday): Chance of showers returns, high around 77°F
