**Portland Metro Area Set for Mild Week Ahead with Minimal Rain**
**Portland, OR -** The latest FOX 12 Weather Podcast paints a picture of a pleasant and temperate week ahead for the Portland metro area, with minimal chances of significant rainfall and no sign of a heatwave on the horizon.
This weekend, residents can expect mostly clear overnight skies, transitioning to morning clouds on Saturday. The clouds may linger, potentially keeping afternoon temperatures slightly cooler. A trough moving through the region will bring increased cloud cover and slightly cooler air on Sunday and Monday. The deepening marine layer associated with this trough could even result in some morning drizzle along the coast, although inland areas are expected to remain dry.
“Overall, we’re looking at a very mild seven-day stretch,” the podcast noted, “with minimal rain chances, but no scorching hot days, either. Enjoy it!”
Looking further ahead, forecast models are currently divided on the possibility of showers in the Portland area mid-week (Wednesday-Thursday) due to a potential shift in the jet stream. For now, FOX 12 predicts partly cloudy skies and below-average temperatures for Portland during that period, with the likelihood of remaining dry. After Thursday, models suggest a warming trend.
The forecast offers reassurance for those dreading extreme heat. “There’s no sign of a heat wave through the first week of August!” the podcast emphasized. Portland has yet to experience three consecutive days of 90-degree temperatures or a single triple-digit day this season.
