A few afternoon showers are possible around Portland Friday afternoon and evening
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Milder temperatures return to the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area Friday after a frosty start to the day.
We’ll start the morning out dry with sun breaks that’ll continue into the afternoon. A few pop-up light rain showers are possible anytime after lunchtime today. Temperatures will warm back into the mid to upper 50s this afternoon as a warmer air mass shifts into the valley from the south.
Another cold front will swing through western Oregon and Washington Saturday morning. This latest spring front will increase the rain potential and knock temperatures back down into the low 50s Saturday. Scattered showers are expected to last through the end of the weekend.
The scattered rain showers Friday and more frequent showers Saturday will fill rain gauges to nearly a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain by Saturday evening.
The wet weather trend will keep rain showers and cooler than average temperatures for the start of the Hillsboro Hops home games. The coolest and potentially wettest game will fall on Saturday.
The rain shower potential starts to decrease just in time for the partial solar eclipse Monday. A few clouds may make it difficult to see the eclipse at times around Portland. Drier and warmer weather continues to build by the middle of next week. Some afternoon highs are expected to return to the low to mid 70s by the end of next week.
