April showers in Portland? Not quite yet

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A ridge of high pressure anchored over the Pacific Northwest through Tuesday means we'll keep with the dry and mild conditions. Afternoon temperatures are expected to hit the upper 60s to low 70s on Monday.

Tuesday looks to be the warmest day of this current stretch of above-normal highs around the valley. PDX's forecast for Tuesday afternoon is calling for the low 70s.

Try to soak up the blue skies over the next two days, because April rain showers are just around the corner. 

Rain is set to return to our region on Wednesday with temps dropping back into the 50s.

It could be a bit of an adjustment with such a big weather swing. Make sure to grab your rain gear and layers by the middle part of the week! Plus, you need to add layers to your outfits this week as you head out the door with morning temps in the upper 30s or low 40s in Portland this week.

But to start the week, you can focus on deciding what pair of sunglasses to wear.
