It’s a seriously cold and gloomy morning in most areas as fog is forming through most of the Willamette Valley and into Portland and Vancouver. The ice/snow/sleet or whatever you had that fell from Christmas eve into Christmas morning will stick around at least one more day (and possibly have more added to it) as temperatures will struggle to climb into the mid 30s on Tuesday. Expect a cold and mostly cloudy day.

The forecast gets a bit more interesting Tuesday night as a weak system containing at least some moisture moves towards Portland later in the day. If precipitation does fall, forecasters with the National Weather Service expect rain for the southern Willamette Valley, but potentially snow or a rain/snow mix for the Portland metro area.

Accumulations would be light as the system isn’t very strong and not carrying a lot of precipitation. Whatever snow/sleet or freezing rain that does fall would continue through early Wednesday morning and possibly make for a rough commute.

Areas in the Columbia River Gorge and just downstream including at least portions of east Portland and possibly the west hills might have enough resupply of colder and drier air to see some freezing rain through Wednesday morning.

Temperatures are forecast to climb higher on Wednesday and reach into the low 40s. Along with the warming temps, more rain is expected both for Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the mid 40s.
