PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Mostly cloudy skies won't stop temperatures from feeling warm and muggy this weekend around the greater Portland, Vancouver metro area.
Afternoon temperatures are expected to warm into the low 80s on Saturday as cloudy skies increase. One or two of the more densely packed clouds could bring a brief rain shower or two to the coastal and valley locations on Saturday and Sunday.
Weekend clouds will help increase Oregon and Washington's humidity values and decrease the threat of fires. Those who suffer from unruly hair from the muggy conditions should prepare for higher humidity valleys and warmer temperatures this weekend. Even though the sunshine will be brief, temperatures have the potential to feel slightly warmer.
