Portland, OR – Fog is expected to develop overnight into Thursday following rainfall that blanketed the area on Wednesday. This could lead to challenging morning commutes, especially on major roadways such as I-5 and I-205. Drivers are urged to reduce speed and increase following distance as visibility drops.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, rainfall accumulation on Wednesday varied, with some areas recording up to 0.68 inches. As skies clear and temperatures drop, fog is likely to form, creating hazardous driving conditions. The forecast for Thursday calls for partly sunny skies with highs around 73°F after morning fog clears. Temperatures are expected to drop through the weekend, with highs in the upper 60s by Sunday and lows nearing the mid-40s.
Residents should take caution during their morning commute and stay updated on weather conditions through the weekend. Clear skies and cooler temperatures are expected to dominate the weekend, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities once the fog lifts.
