A three-day stretch of partly or mostly sunny skies with temperatures over 50 degrees is on the horizon for Portland, but the area will have to endure two more days of drizzle first, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday and Monday in the Portland area will bring rain and temperatures between 48 and 52 degrees.
That’s in keeping with what Portland saw Saturday, when meteorologists recorded the warmest temperature of the month so far at Portland International Airport — 51 degrees.
