Portland, OR – Oregon's largest metro area faces several rounds of November rain beginning Monday, Nov. 9, as Pacific weather systems move across the Northwest.
According to the National Weather Service, Portland has a 90% chance of precipitation Monday and Monday night. Rainfall could affect morning and evening travel, particularly along I 5, I 84 and I 205.
The forecast calls for temperatures near 58 degrees Monday, followed by a low around 51 degrees.
Monday Brings the Biggest Weather Change Sunday offers a relatively quieter start, with mostly cloudy skies, highs near 59 degrees and a 30% chance of showers.
However, conditions change Monday as widespread rain develops after 11 a.m.
The National Weather Service expects between one tenth and one quarter inch of precipitation Monday.
Rain continues Monday evening, with additional rainfall generally below one tenth of an inch possible.
Drivers should prepare for wet pavement, reduced visibility and slower traffic during periods of heavier showers.
Patchy fog may also develop before 7 a.m. Monday, potentially affecting early commuters.
Rain Continues Tuesday Before Veterans Day Improvement Tuesday brings another 60% chance of showers, mainly before 10 a.m.
Temperatures recover to around 63 degrees, keeping precipitation in liquid form throughout Portland.
By Tuesday evening, rain chances decrease to 20%, offering residents a possible break.
Wednesday, Nov. 11, brings a noticeable improvement for Veterans Day.
Mostly cloudy skies remain, but temperatures climb near 65 degrees without significant precipitation indicated in the supplied outlook.

Rain becomes likely again Friday, with highs near 59 degrees.
