PORTLAND, Oregon — Rainfall was relatively light all day long in the metro area, with us collecting around a quarter of an inch of rain throughout the day. While there’s no more considerable rainfall throughout the evening hours, we are expecting much more rain Friday. By late Friday morning, we should be seeing the precipitation return, which will last through the day. By Saturday morning we are likely to see around three quarters of an inch of rain in the metro area, and around an inch and a half along the coast.
Also expect it to be a bit breezy in the Willamette Valley, with the real winds moving through the coast and in the Columbia River Gorge, around 30 miles per hour in both areas.
By Saturday the rain turns into light showers, and by Sunday, we shouldn’t see any significant precipitation, before more rain moves in with the next system on Monday.
In the meantime, also look out for snow along the passes by tomorrow night, around 3 to 6 inches worth. The good news is that so far, it's nothing that warrants a warning or watch at the moment for that area.
