Oregon wakes up under clear skies, crisp air, and a quiet pause before conditions shift.
Temperatures hover near 37 degrees early this morning across Portland. Calm winds and clear skies make it feel colder on exposed skin. Roads remain dry for now, but the still air hints at change. Meteorologists are tracking a Pacific system that begins reshaping the weekend.
Skies stay mostly sunny through the day, pushing highs close to 59 degrees. To be fair, it feels mild by afternoon. That break does not last long. Clouds thicken late tonight as moisture spreads inland. A Weather Alert–style pattern shift develops heading into Saturday.
Rain becomes likely by late Saturday morning, with chances climbing to 80 percent. Wet pavement returns quickly, especially along I-5 and surface streets during daytime travel. Expect steady rain through Saturday night. Plan extra time if you’re heading out, and keep rain gear close.
Sunday stays unsettled. Rain remains likely, with probabilities near 90 percent and highs around 54 degrees. Conditions may deteriorate quickly during heavier showers. Reduced visibility and slick roads become the main impacts. While snow is not expected at lower elevations, colder air nearby keeps mountain passes under watch.
By Monday, rain tapers to scattered showers. Highs settle near 52 degrees, with cooler mornings returning. The pattern gradually relaxes midweek. Latest models show a warming trend developing next week, with temperatures climbing back into the low-to-mid 50s and fewer widespread rain events.
Looking ahead to the 6–10 day outlook, signs point toward above-normal temperatures and longer dry breaks later next week. For now, enjoy the calm start, but prepare for a wet stretch ahead.
