Sunny Days Ahead with a Chance of Showers and Late-April Chill, NWS AdvisesSource: X/NWS Portland

Portland residents, brace yourselves for a mixed bag of weather in the coming week. The city will experience everything from partly sunny skies to potential showers and a noticeable dip in temperature, as reported by the National Weather Service.

The immediate forecast suggests a 20 percent chance of showers overnight, but that's just the prelude to an otherwise mostly dry and partly sunny end to the week. Friday's outlook promises a high of 61 degrees, with a calm northeast breeze. Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to deliver sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s, an ideal setup for weekend plans.

Entering into next week, Portlanders can expect the good fortune to continue with more sunshine and even a climb to 70 degrees on Tuesday. However, keep your umbrellas close because there's "a slight chance of rain" that night, as per the National Weather Service.

Midweek forecasts take a notably chillier turn, with Wednesday ushering rain and a high dipping down to 55 degrees. Come Thursday, showers are likely, and snow levels plummet to a shivering 1400 feet before noon. The high for the day is expected to struggle up to just 53 degrees, with those living at higher elevations possibly seeing some late April snowfall.
