Morning fog, cooler temps to make it feel like fall around the PNW
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Tuesday morning's patchy fog will transition to partly sunny skies around the Portland-Vancouver area this afternoon.
Partly sunny skies and our sun breaks may help temperatures warm into the low 60s today. We'll keep conditions dry on Tuesday. No additional rainfall is expected after the soggy start to the week on Monday.
Portland's clearing trend will continue to develop through the middle and end of the week. A bit more sunshine is likely, but temperatures will remain cooler than average. Highs are expected to remain in the upper-50s to low-60s along the Willamette Valley this week.
Cooler temperatures will help bring snow elevation levels down to nearly 4,000 feet midweek. However, the available moisture capable of producing mountain snow won't arrive until this weekend. So, no additional snow is expected until Sunday or Monday.
Slightly cooler and much wetter weather is expected to move in just in time for the weekend. A strong low system towards the north will swing through the region by Saturday, bringing widespread rainfall to Portland and the Willamette Valley. You'll want the rain jacket this weekend!
