Portland residents can look forward to a sunny day with a hint of chill in the air, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) . Today's forecast suggests a high near 49 degrees, with a northwest wind shifting east in the afternoon and potential gusts reaching as high as 21 mph. As the evening approaches, folks might want to grab an extra layer with temperatures expected to drop around 35 degrees accompanied by an east wind of 7 to 9 mph.
The weather pattern is set to change going into Thursday, becoming mostly cloudy with a high hovering near 48 degrees. This shift doesn't seem to be bringing much warmth, as Thursday night's temperatures are to remain fairly stable with lows around 38. The NWS reports that there's an imminent 10 percent chance of rain to start after 4pm on Friday, so it may be a good idea to slowly start to take out the umbrellas.
The real turn in the weather will hit on Friday night, with rain expected mainly after 4am, leading into a wet Saturday. The NWS forecasts an unwavering rain with a high of 53 degrees during Saturday and continuing rain through the night. Sunday offers little reprieve, with a high chance of rain before 10am and mostly cloudy skies setting the stage for the start of the week.
Looking ahead, the NWS promises a mixture of clouds and sunshine. Monday will usher in a gradual clearing, with the skies becoming sunny and a high near 48 degrees. That sunshine is destined not to last too long, with the possibility of rain returning on Tuesday amidst partial sunshine and highs around 45 degrees.
The fluctuating Portland weather serves to remind residents to frequently check the latest updates, as noted on the NWS Portland page..
