Portland, OR – Portland residents can expect a mostly sunny holiday weekend with temperatures climbing into the 80s before a midweek heat spike pushes highs into the 90s.
According to the National Weather Service, Portland International Airport reported overcast skies and a morning temperature of 61 degrees on Saturday. Conditions are expected to improve throughout the day with skies turning partly sunny and a high reaching 81. Light north winds are forecast to accompany the mild weather.
Sunday will bring mostly sunny skies with a high near 83, followed by another pleasant day on Labor Day when temperatures rise to around 84. Nighttime lows will remain comfortable, ranging from the upper 50s to low 60s.
By Tuesday, temperatures will jump sharply, with highs expected to hit 90 degrees and continue climbing to near 94 on Wednesday. Forecasts show little cloud cover during this period, meaning residents should prepare for hot, sunny conditions with limited overnight relief.
Forecasters advise taking precautions during the early September heat wave, particularly for those planning outdoor activities over the holiday weekend and into next week. Hydration and sun protection are recommended as conditions warm up.
Looking ahead, Thursday is projected to stay sunny with a high near 93, while Friday should continue the trend with a high near 89 under mostly sunny skies.
