In a bit of an echo from the weekend, a short period of windy conditions shows up on the coast Tuesday morning. The front is narrow, and the winds and heavy rain should taper by noon.

Portland will see plenty of showers and some gusty winds as well through the morning. Wind gusts in the valleys could reach 30 mph. Showers should taper in the afternoon on Tuesday then we’ll see some breaks in the rain through the evening. The highs will be 60 degrees.

Tuesday’s rain won’t come near the type of downpours many areas saw over the weekend. The National Weather Service tweeted some totals and some record-breaking information from this past weekend on Monday night:

Some perspective on this past weekend's rain...



It was the 4th wettest two day period in April in the past ~120 years at Salem where 2.40" of rain fell. It was the 5th wettest two day period in April at McMinnville where 2.30" of rain fell. #pdxtst #orwx — NWS Portland (@NWSPortland) April 10, 2018

It’s April, but snow levels are still a thing as levels behind the current front will drop to near the Cascade passes and drivers will see some light accumulations Tuesday afternoon and into Wednesday. In fact, the National Weather Service believes the Cascades are in for a “prolonged” period of accumulating snow through Thursday that might even warrant a winter weather advisory. We’ll keep an eye on that.

In town, Wednesday will be a strong rain-maker with some wind thrown in for good measure. Rainfall totals could reach a half-inch and the highs will be only 53 degrees.



Thursday goes back into shower mode with less rain, but still very cool temperatures of only 52 degrees for the high. Friday will dry just a bit with showers throughout the day and a high of 55 degrees.
