Memorial Weekend warms up in Portland metro

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — As we tip-off the second half of Memorial Day weekend, the temperatures around the Portland metro area will start to warm up.

After topping off at 62 degrees for a daytime high in Portland on Saturday, we'll gradually see the mercury rise over the next two days. Around the metro on Sunday, the temps will hover right around the 70 degree mark. The forecast for Memorial Day calls for partly sunny skies and a daytime high in Portland hanging out in the mid-70s.

Along with the warmer weather on both Sunday and Monday, dry skies will also prevail, but you can expect either mostly or partly cloudy conditions.

The ridge of high pressure that moves in on Monday will be a very quickly moving ridge. Low pressure looks to drop in on our region Monday night into Tuesday, bringing with it slightly cooler and wetter weather as soon as Tuesday through Wednesday.

Lingering showers are also possible early Thursday morning.

But for Sunday if you're looking to find a majority of blue skies above, your best bet is to head out to the Gorge or to Central Oregon.
