Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 330 AM PDT Tue Aug 25 2026
SYNOPSIS
A weak upper level disturbance will bring slightly cooler high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s across the interior lowlands. Southerly winds are expected as troughing sets up over the northeast Pacific. Temperatures continue to trend cooler into the weekend with mid to upper 70s possible Saturday.
SHORT TERM
Now through Wednesday night...Troughing over the Gulf of Alaska is expected to slowly drift southeast while a shortwave over the northeast Pacific gets swung toward the PacNW today. This will lower heights aloft and in turn, decrease 850 mb temperatures to around 16-18 C but will still support high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s across the interior lowlands and 60s along the coast. Winds will also shift onshore across the entire area. Winds shift to the west by the evening, bringing a strong marine push to the coast and eventually the interior valleys later tonight. Any lingering wildfire smoke should shift back east of the Cascades by Wednesday.
The upper level trough over the northeast Pacific will slowly shift eastward toward the PacNW heading into Wednesday. Upper level heights will continue to drop as the center of the trough moves toward Vancouver Island. Wednesday likely starts out with marine stratus covering the interior lowlands which will also impact afternoon highs which are expected to top out in the low 80s across the interior. -19
LONG TERM
Wednesday through Sunday...Confidence remains high heading into the latter half of the week and into the weekend.
Cluster analysis is heavily favoring troughing over the PacNW and western Canada with several embedded impulses reinforcing this pattern for several days. Temperatures continue to trend downward into the weekend. Models continue to show only weak signals for precipitation with a chance coming on Thursday as a front moves through the area and a better shot on Saturday as a slightly stronger front is expected. Beyond Saturday, the upper level pattern begins to flatten out and temperatures warm back into the 80s. -19
AVIATION
Through 12Z Wednesday...Southerly winds have brought marine stratus along the coast, supporting IFR/LIFR CIGs . These southerly winds will also enable marine stratus to infiltrate into the southern Willamette Valley resulting in MVFR conditions at KEUG starting around 12Z-14Z and lasting through 18Z or so.
Stratus along the northern Oregon and southern Washington coast may breakout this afternoon, supporting a brief period of VFR conditions around KAST. CIGs around KONP are likely to remain IFR or lower through the TAF period.
VFR conditions are expected through most of the TAF period for all other locations. Light winds overnight becoming southerly 5-10 kt 12Z-20Z. Also, could see some gusty southerly winds starting along the coast around 16Z-20Z with gusts approaching 25 kt. These gusts are expected to persist through at least the remainder of the TAF period. A stronger marine push is expected late tonight and could make it to most inland terminals early Wednesday morning, bringing MVFR or lower CIGs . Chances are 25-50% after 9Z Wednesday.
KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR conditions today with southerly winds increasing to 5-7 kt. A stronger marine push tonight could bring a period of sub-VFR CIGs into early Wednesday morning. -19/42
MARINE
Winds shift to the south as a weak disturbance passes over the region. Winds across much of the waters expected to be 5-15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt within 20 nm of the coast. The notable exception will be the inner waters north of Cape Falcon north to Cape Shoalwater where winds are expected to be 15-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt late this morning through the evening. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for zone PZZ251 and the Columbia River Bar from 10 AM to 7 PM today. Isolated SCA criteria gusts are possible outside the advisory.
The next pattern shift looks to occur Thursday night into Friday, when troughing moves into the Pacific Northwest. This will bring a return to northwesterly flow with low to moderate chances for light rain showers. Seas otherwise continue at 3-6 ft through this weekend. -19/36
