Oregon – A cold mist hangs over downtown Portland this morning, and at 37 degrees, the air feels raw as light rain mixes with pockets of wet snow.
Roads are mainly wet right now, but temperatures sit close to the freezing mark in outlying neighborhoods. A few slushy bursts are still possible early, especially before midday. Snow levels hover near 800 feet, then gradually rise this afternoon. Highs reach about 45 degrees, keeping the day cool and damp.
Drivers along I-5, I-205, and Highway 26 should stay alert. If pavement cools after sunset, any leftover moisture could refreeze. This is prime February flash-freeze season. Melting during the day can turn icy fast overnight. Bridges and overpasses freeze first. Slow down and leave extra space.
Tonight, temperatures dip to around 31 degrees with a slight chance of rain and snow showers late. Widespread frost is possible where skies briefly clear. Friday stays unsettled with more rain showers and highs near 46 degrees.
The weekend remains wet. Saturday brings periods of rain, with highs near 49 degrees. Showers likely continue Saturday night into Sunday, when highs climb to the low 50s.
Early next week trends milder but still damp. Highs hover in the lower 50s Monday and Tuesday with rain at times. Longer-range outlooks hint at above-normal temperatures building toward late February, signaling early spring warmth beyond the 6–10 day window.
Keep coats and umbrellas ready, and plan extra travel time during colder mornings.
