Rain to sun around Portland region Friday, February 9, 2024
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The greater Portland, Vancouver metro area has a split forecast Friday. Wet and soggy conditions will give way to a drier and cooler afternoon.
Another round of heavy rain is expected before sunrise on Friday. That’s where nearly a tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain is expected. The greatest amounts of rain will be found along the coast. Snow also makes a return to lower elevations for much of the day on Friday. Snow accumulation is possible as low as 2,000 ft. These lower snow elevations come as Portland’s afternoon highs remain below average, in the mid-40s.
Rain showers will quickly dry through the day. Mostly cloudy skies will remain over the Willamette Valley for the remainder of the day. Those clouds will begin to clear by the start of the weekend. Saturday will see more sunshine as temperatures begin to warm.
A few light rain showers are possible during The Big Game around the Portland area on Sunday. That shower potential continues through the start of next week. Some weather models are indicating another potential atmospheric river by Valentine’s. The forecast remains nearly a week out and is subject to change, but a wetter weather pattern is expected by mid-next week.
