Portland Forecast Turns Rainy for Weekend as Coast Gets Surf Warning

Portland is forecast to turn rainy Friday after a mostly dry Thursday, with showers continuing into the weekend in two rounds and unsettled conditions possibly lasting into early next week. The Oregon coast faces more hazardous weather, including a High Surf Warning through Saturday noon, dangerous sneaker waves, and gale-force marine conditions; officials advise staying well back from beaches, jetties, and large logs. Heavy rain could also leave Portland roads and poorly drained areas prone to ponding.
