On Friday, a front that is loaded with rain moves inland, bringing a healthy dose of moisture to the end of the workweek.
Although the National Weather Service has warned visitors of the possibility of accumulating freezing rain in the upper Hood River Valley and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the majority of western Oregon is expected to experience rain. Slick situations will result from warmer rain falling on top of frozen ground.
By mid-morning, Portland will experience consistent rain. There may be persistent showers into the evening once the front moves through. Nearly 47 degrees will be the high temperature.
Overnight, winds will increase until the next system moves in on Saturday. There is a 50–70% possibility of gusts of 30 mph or more in the valleys. There is a 30% probability of gusts over 40 mph along the coast.
Those traveling across the passes this weekend should be ready for winter driving as these systems will bring fresh snow to the Cascades.
With showers still predicted, Saturday will be another wet day in Portland. After around 4 p.m., there is a remote risk of thunderstorms. About 49 degrees should be the high temperature.
A weak, temporary ridge is expected to dry out most of western Oregon on Sunday, bringing partly clear skies. Although there is still a potential of morning showers in Portland, the afternoon is expected to be partly sunny with high temperatures of roughly 48 degrees.
Early on Monday morning, a front moving south from British Columbia will enter the metropolitan region. Portland will experience a high of 47 degrees and continuous rain for the most of the day.
The area is expected to have rain or showers through Wednesday, according to extended projections. The upper 40s to low 50s should be the norm for high temperatures.
Precipitation is expected to spread throughout Oregon and Washington this afternoon and tonight due to a moist warm front. In addition to low elevation rain and snow, this system is expected to bring light freezing rain to certain locations.#twitter.com/IUrvlP8yiQ #wawx#orwxpic
