Portland is set to enjoy a warm and sunny week following a cloudy Sunday. The forecast predicts high temperatures reaching the low to mid-50s throughout the week.
Weather Outlook for Portland
The National Weather Service indicates that Sunday will see a high of approximately 52 degrees. A strong high-pressure system is responsible for the upcoming dry weather and mild temperatures.
Temperature and Conditions
- Monday will kick off a week of predominantly sunny days.
- High temperatures are expected to be in the low or mid-50s.
- Daytime activities outside are encouraged due to the pleasant weather.
Air Quality Concerns
Despite favorable temperatures, air quality may suffer. Stagnant air can trap pollutants near the ground, posing risks, particularly to those with respiratory issues. The Portland area, including the I-5 corridor from Battle Ground to Eugene, is currently under an air stagnation advisory.
Sneaker Wave Advisory on the Oregon Coast
Additionally, the Oregon Coast is facing a sneaker wave watch through Monday afternoon. Beachgoers are advised to stay out of the water due to dangerous swimming conditions. Sneaker waves can unexpectedly surge far onto the beach, posing a significant risk to those near the shoreline.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the uncommonly warm weather while remaining vigilant about air quality and ocean safety.
