PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Wednesday’s cloudy skies are set to clear Thursday, bringing a stretch of above-normal temperatures to the Portland area on Friday and Saturday.
KOIN 6 Meteorologist Josh Cozart said that warmer temperatures will be noticeable by Thursday afternoon. Temperatures are forecast to exceed 80 degrees on Friday and Saturday.
“Temperatures will warm into the upper 60s by the evening,” Cozart said. “Drier and sunnier skies return to the region by the week’s end. That’s where record temperatures are possible by Saturday with highs returning to the low to mid 80s.”
