Near-Record Warmth Expected in Portland Midweek
US · Published Nov 11, 2026
• Portland is set to experience near-record warmth midweek, with temperatures potentially reaching 65°F (18°C) on Wednesday, November 11,
• This follows a wet start to the week, as an atmospheric river brought unexpected heavy rainfall to the area, including 0.60 inches at Portland International Airport (PDX) and over an inch in Troutdale. The rain is expected to taper off as the jet stream shifts northward, bringing drier conditions through Thursday. A warm southerly flow and a strengthening ridge are contributing to the unseasonably high temperatures.

Impact & Risks

The near-record warmth is unlikely to pose significant risks, but residents should be aware of potential impacts from the wet and breezy conditions forecast for the weekend. Coastal areas may experience wind gusts exceeding 40 MPH, while inland gusts are expected to remain between 20-25 MPH. Light rain is predicted to persist throughout Friday, with rainfall totals reaching up to a quarter inch in the western valleys. Rough surf conditions are also anticipated along the coast.
