Portland weather today is sunny and 71°F—one of the best days we’ve had all spring, and the National Weather Service is confident about it with 80–90% certainty. Light northwesterly winds at 2 to 8 mph will keep things comfortable, so grab your sunglasses and head outside.
This is an excellent day to catch the Portland Thorns FC vs. San Diego Wave FC match at Providence Park this evening. Conditions will be ideal for soccer—sunny through the afternoon, with temperatures holding steady around 71°F and virtually no rain in the forecast (only a 1% chance of precipitation). If you’re planning to tailgate before the match, a portable propane grill would be perfect for grilling up some pre-game food. You can grab tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub, and pick up Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support.
If you’re heading to any of tonight’s concerts—Claire Rosinkranz at Wonder Ballroom—you’ll have gorgeous weather for the walk over. No rain gear needed; just bring a light jacket for after sunset when temperatures dip to around 48°F by midnight.
For those with spring allergies flaring up in this warming weather, keep an allergy relief nasal spray and pollen count face mask handy. The pollen count tends to spike on sunny, warm days like today, especially across the Willamette Valley and into the Portland metro.
Thursday will be even warmer—mostly sunny with a high near 80°F, and the National Weather Service forecasters say the Portland/Vancouver metro area has an 80–90% chance of hitting 80 degrees. That’s prime time for golfing at Pumpkin Ridge or along the Columbia River Gorge courses.

Looking ahead, Friday into Saturday brings a slight cool-down as a weak trough moves in from Canada, with low-end shower chances mainly in the Cascade foothills. Nothing severe, but keep an eye on conditions if you’re heading to Mt. Hood. By Sunday and Monday, warm and dry weather returns—perfect for outdoor projects and riverside activities. Just remember: local rivers remain cold enough for cold water shock, so exercise caution if you’re planning any water activities.
Tonight’s a great evening for grilling. Think simple—marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and maybe some pasta salad on the side. You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything delivered, including fresh produce and your favorite proteins, so you’re ready to cook when you get home from the game or concert.
