Portland, OR – Streetlights glint off slick pavement as steady rain continues through the early morning commute. Cars slice through puddles under gray skies, while mild temperatures in the upper 50s keep the city damp but not cold.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, showers will persist through the morning with gusty south winds near 25 mph tapering by afternoon. Rain chances ease into Friday, though patchy fog may form overnight in sheltered valleys and near-river areas. Drivers should stay alert for reduced visibility and slick roadways during early travel hours.
A brief dry stretch builds Friday afternoon into Saturday, offering a rare December window for outdoor plans or early holiday errands. However, another Pacific front moves ashore Sunday, bringing widespread rain and cooler air back to the metro area. The damp pattern will persist into early next week with a steady rhythm of clouds, drizzle, and light wind.
