Oregon — Headlights glow through mist as rain taps steadily on pavement across the metro. The air feels damp and heavy, and sidewalks shine under streetlights as the day begins.
Rain continues this morning, with temperatures sitting in the mid-40s. Southeast winds stay light, but visibility drops at times in mist. Commuters should expect slower travel, especially on I-5, I-84, and surface streets where water pools quickly.
By midday, rain remains likely. Highs reach the low to mid-50s, which is seasonable but uncomfortable with steady moisture. Wet roads combined with cool air raise the risk of slick spots, particularly on bridges and elevated ramps. Plan extra time if driving.
Rain eases somewhat tonight, though clouds linger. Lows settle near the mid-40s. Friday brings another active stretch. Rain redevelops late morning into afternoon, keeping roads wet through much of the day. To be fair, rainfall amounts stay light, but persistence matters for travel and outdoor plans.
Saturday offers a brief break. Skies turn mostly cloudy, and highs approach 60. It feels milder, and outdoor errands catch a window of drier weather. Still, ground conditions remain damp after several wet days.
Saturday night into Sunday signals another shift. Rain chances increase again, especially by late morning Sunday. Highs reach the mid-50s, but steady rain may reduce visibility during peak travel hours. Expect slick pavement and slower traffic across the region.
Looking ahead into early next week, precipitation chances gradually decrease. Monday stays mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain, then drier weather arrives by Tuesday. Nights cool into the low 40s, keeping winter firmly in place.
For now, Portland’s weather stays active and wet. Keep rain gear handy and watch road conditions closely. Traveling Sunday or today’s commute? Share what you’re seeing where you are.
