PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Pleasant and fair weather days are returning to the region. A mix of sunshine and clouds and temperatures near average will take Portland through the end of the week.
Decreasing clouds on Wednesday will help Portland area temperatures warm into the mid to upper 70s. Portland’s average daytime high temperature should be in the upper 70s during the second week of the month.
Rain remains absent for much of the Willamette Valley as thunderstorms continue over the Cascades and throughout portions of the Columbia River Gorge. Those planning on hiking should do so earlier in the day, before afternoon and evening storms develop.
Some afternoon thunderstorms have the capability of producing flooding rains. The National Weather Service has burn scar areas in Central Oregon under a flash flood watch through Wednesday evening at least.
Mostly dry skies will remain in western Oregon and southwest Washington through Saturday. This comes as Portland prepares for slightly warmer-than-average temperatures to start the weekend.
An incoming cold front is expected to increase rain potential across the Pacific Northwest on Sunday as temperatures fall to the mid 70s. A warm pattern and dry trend is expected to return to the region early next week.
