Other than a few lingering morning sprinkles, Friday should be mostly dry with plenty of clouds and a high of 53 degrees. A strong ridge of high pressure continues to move any moisture up to the north and leave Portland with just cloudy skies and possibly a sun break or two.

A quick, dry and mostly cold front will push southeast from Alaska tonight and bring some colder temperatures into southwest Washington and northwest Oregon for Saturday. The overnight low into Saturday morning could dip to 35 degrees. Some fog may form in isolated areas, but Saturday will be generally sunny with temperatures warming back into the low 50s by afternoon.

The run of mainly dry weather lasts through Saturday, although temps will be a little cooler over the next couple of days. Rain finally returns on Sunday and Monday. This is expected to be the coldest system in quite some time, with snow levels as low as 1500-2000 ft. #orwx #wawx pic.twitter.com/QqlTxNKSrE — NWS Portland (@NWSPortland) February 9, 2018

A shift in the weather happens overnight Saturday into Sunday. A new front will likely bring some showers and lowering snow levels for Sunday. The Cascades should see some new accumulations during the day on Sunday, and the valleys will see occasional showers with a high of 47 degrees.



Temperatures and snow levels will drop even more by Sunday night with possible snow down to 1,500-2,500 feet. The foothills and higher elevations around Portland could see a snow flake or two by Monday morning. Forecasters with the National Weather Service aren't yet certain about the effects of the system arriving by Sunday night, but most models show a fairly strong upper trough coming down from the British Columbia coast, giving a chance for some wet snow could touch the higher hills around the Willamette Valley.
