Another round of patchy fog kicks off Thursday morning. Low visibility areas include Wilsonville, Sherwood, Beaverton, Hillsboro and Cedar Hills. The fog will hang around until after daybreak.



Light rain showers are possible as Thursday progresses. A weak front is crossing the region bringing in clouds and some moisture. Showers are most likely along the coast and into the foothills of the northern Cascades. Thursday's high will be near 55.

Friday looks dry, but also cooler than Thursday, with a high of only 50 degrees (it is still February after all). We'll see another foggy morning in the usual spots, burning off to a mostly sunny day to end the week.

Aside from another round of patchy morning fog in the Willamette Valley on Saturday, the weekend weather features sunshine and seasonably pleasant temperatures in the lower 50s.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service report that surface pressure gradients are suggesting breezy east winds through the western Columbia River Gorge and eastern portions of the Portland metro area on Saturday, and a breezy north wind through the central and southern portions of the Willamette Valley as well.

With mostly clear skies on Saturday night, temperatures should drop well into the lower 30s. Some areas will reach down below freezing into Sunday morning. This will be the coldest night in about a month in some locations and a strong reminder that we're still in winter.



Sunday's forecast calls for a chance of showers and sun breaks with a high of 50 degrees.

Last month finished near normal in terms of January precipitation across the Western U.S., but temperature tells a MUCH different story. Most states across the region experienced one of the warmest Januaries on record (Oregon = 5th warmest Jan on record).
