Holiday, Weekend Weather Good for NW Oregon and Coast

| Oceanside will likely look a lot like this on Sunday and the day before Thanksgiving. |
(Portland, Oregon) - For those in Portland, Salem, Eugene and the Oregon coast, this weekend and parts of the pre-holiday week look sunny and bright – quite literally.
The coast is a major tradition for many on Thanksgiving, and of course, travel up and down the I-5 corridor will be plentiful for the holiday as well. Whatever the scenario for your holiday, driving conditions will be fantastic, while this weekend and early in the weekend contain some stunning days on the coast and inland.

The weekend promises to be quite lovely on the Oregon coast. Saturday, highs near 48 and only scattered showers are predicted by the National Weather Service (NWS). Winds will be extremely light, around 6 mph, and the evening may bring some fog later on. Chances for showers will increase, however. Still, those light winds will make it feel quite warm when the sun pokes its head out.

Sunday will be the stunner. While the early morning will bring fog, it’s expected to be mostly sunny and around 55 during most of the day, with minimal winds. The evening may see winds increase to around 10 mph on the Oregon coast, and the low may get to around 40 that night.
Like the inland area, Monday will bring some rain. The coast is likely to be around 52 and mostly cloudy, yet light winds will keep that warm feeling throughout the day and night. Evening lows will be around 40.
Tuesday brings a chance of rain, mostly cloudy conditions and temps again about 52. The evening will be about the same but with lows around 41.

52 degrees is again the magic number for Wednesday, according to the NWS. But look for mostly sunny conditions, filling that day full of promise for holiday travel and fun on the beach – should you be able to weasel out of work early.
On Thursday - Thanksgiving - rain will likely make its appearance on the coast, although nothing major. Highs will be near 50 and lows around 40, leaving fantastic conditions for travel to and from the coast.
For the Portland area and inland northwest Oregon, Saturday holds isolated showers before 10 a.m., then mostly cloudy throughout the day, with a high near 49. Southwest winds will be minimal, between 3 and 5 mph. Fog is expected in the evening, in patches, with a light and variable wind.

Sunday will feature more fog in the morning, according to the NWS. It’ll likely stay cloudy through the morning, clearing as the day goes on, with a high around 51. At night, expect partly cloudy condition with a low around 40 degrees. Winds will be minimal all day on Sunday.
On Monday, it’s expected to be a lovely day: partly sunny and with a high around 53. At night, it’s supposed to be mostly cloudy.
Tuesday brings a chance of rain, with things being mostly cloudy during the day and a high near 53. As the evening rolls on, the chance of showers remains, as do the clouds.

On Wednesday, as many will be beginning their Thanksgiving travels from the northwest Oregon area, it’s expected to be mostly sunny and highs near 52. Lows will be around 39 that night and it will be partly cloudy, which won’t cause any traffic hazards at all, unless you’re roaming in the higher elevations where freezing temps may happen.
It looks like it will be raining on your Thanksgiving parade: there’s a slight chance of rain on Thursday for northwest Oregon, said the NWS. Highs will be near 50 during the day and lows around 39 at night, with the chances of rain remaining after dark.
