Strong high pressure building over the Pacific Northwest will give Portland a string of warm, dry days, beginning Thursday, and its first 80 degree days of the year this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
Thursday morning will start with some high clouds, and the slight possibility of some early morning fog in a few locations. Any clouds or fog will quickly burn off to mostly sunny skies. The high temperature is likely to reach 74 degrees.
Warm air moving up from California will push into Oregon and Washington throughout the day. Forecasters are watching for an offshore wind to develop late Thursday night and into Friday.
Skies will be sunny all day Friday and Portland will see its first 80 degree day of the year. In fact, temperatures are likely to reach about 84 at the Portland Airport and could be a degree or two warmer in other valley locations. Winds will be breezy with gust of up to 30 mph possible, especially near the Columbia River Gorge.
The weekend forecast has been adjusted a bit, but Saturday still looks to be sunny with a high of nearly 86. Sunday could end up partly sunny as some clouds move in when the ridge of high pressure begins to move east. The high will be near 83.
