How low will Portland\u2019s temperatures fall on Wednesday?<\/strong><\/p>\n PORTLAND, Oregon<\/strong> \u2014 After a stretch of early July heat<\/strong>, cooler air<\/strong> will make a brief appearance in Portland<\/strong> this Wednesday<\/strong>, as a weak cold front<\/strong> sweeps through the Pacific Northwest<\/strong>. Daytime temperatures in Portland<\/strong> are expected to dip to around 76\u00b0F (24\u00b0C)<\/strong> \u2014 a notable drop compared to earlier in the week, when highs climbed into the upper 80s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Morning lows<\/strong> will feel more refreshing as well, settling near 58\u00b0F (14\u00b0C)<\/strong> under increasing cloud cover. The cooling trend<\/strong> will be short-lived, however, as skies begin to clear by Thursday<\/strong>, making way for a rapid warm-up<\/strong> heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s a slight chance of drizzle<\/strong> from the Oregon Coast<\/strong> into the Willamette Valley<\/strong>, but no measurable rainfall<\/strong> is expected in the Portland\/Vancouver<\/strong> metro area. Coastal spots might pick up a few hundredths of an inch<\/strong>, though the region remains largely dry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite this midweek cool-down<\/strong>, wildfire risk<\/strong> stays high<\/strong> in eastern Oregon<\/strong>, especially east of the Cascades<\/strong>, where dry lightning<\/strong> and scattered thunderstorms<\/strong> could trigger new fire starts. The central<\/strong> and eastern portions<\/strong> of the state face a marginal risk<\/strong> of severe storms<\/strong>, with concerns for large hail<\/strong>, frequent lightning<\/strong>, and gusty winds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Winds funneling through the Columbia River Gorge<\/strong> on Wednesday could become strong<\/strong>, increasing the threat of fire spread<\/strong> in already vulnerable areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By Friday<\/strong>, summer heat<\/strong> returns in full force with highs back in the 90s (32\u201335\u00b0C)<\/strong> for Portland<\/strong> and Southwest Washington<\/strong>, setting the stage for a hot and dry weekend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How low will Portland\u2019s temperatures fall on Wednesday?
