Sunny Springs: Portland’s Warm Week Ahead

Portland is getting ready for a bright and warm spring spell. A record‑setting Easter heat wave left the city at about 79 degrees, topping the old July‑4 record from 1977. Neighboring towns also pushed past their own temperature marks. The National Weather Service says the heat will keep rolling. Monday brings a high near 78 degrees and plenty of sunshine, with gentle winds that pick up to about five miles per hour from the west‑southwest. A weak cold front is drifting in from British Columbia, but it will only cool daytime highs a bit and might sprinkle light showers on the southern Cascades.

Tuesday stays clear, but temperatures slide back toward normal at roughly 62 degrees. Wednesday is another sunny day with a high close to 66 degrees. By the end of the week, Thursday and Friday will lift into the low‑70s, still under clear skies. Weekend weather looks different. The forecast points to widespread chances of light rain over the next two days, though exact timing and amounts remain uncertain. Residents should keep an eye on updates as the weather shifts.
