PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Friday’s wardrobe should include a light rain jacket and rain boots. Although, if you decide to wear shorts, no one will judge.
Temperatures will be in the low 50s from morning to afternoon. We’ll call it a warmer than normal January day. Eugene broke its daily record Thursday at 62° (60° in 2021).
An atmospheric river is falling apart but what’s leftover is favoring the coast. Friday rain for Portland is between 0.4″ and 0.5″. There is a chance of thunderstorms along the Oregon coast Friday.
The heaviest rain will be on Sunday.
Drought monitor released Thursday reveals minimal change week to week for Oregon, but the northwest section is completely out of drought conditions at least. Central Oregon is in a tough spot with the exceptional drought category.
