Portland's Weather: A Mix of Sun, Clouds, and Rain Ahead

Portland's weather is set to be a mix of sun, clouds, and rain in the coming days. First, let's talk about Veterans Day. It's looking like a decent day for outdoor plans. The weather will be dry, and temperatures will be just a bit above average. Expect a partly sunny morning, but clouds will start to roll in as the day goes on. The next system is expected to bring rain to the region by Wednesday afternoon. The heaviest rain is predicted to stay south, in northern California and southwest Oregon. But Portland will still see some rain, especially on Thursday. Winds will pick up, with gusts of up to 20 mph possible. Now, let's talk about the mountains. Snow is expected along the Cascade passes from Thursday night into Friday. But the good news is that temperatures are trending warmer, so the chance of significant snowfall has decreased. Drivers should still be cautious, as snow will be falling and sticking at times. Friday will bring more rain to Portland, and the weekend isn't looking much better. Extended forecasts show continued showers, with high temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. So, if you're planning outdoor activities, be prepared for a mix of weather. It's always a good idea to check the forecast regularly, as things can change quickly.
