Active weather possible for Mother's Day across the PNW
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Showery moments are expected for Mother's Day with scattered showers rolling through Portland around noon or 1p.m. There's a slight chance of stray rain drops during the morning hours -- but if you're looking for dry time to get out and celebrate mom, going out for an early breakfast is probably your best bet!
From the early afternoon to early evening Sunday, the forecast calls for a few more showers across the Oregon Coast and the Willamette Valley.
There's also a chance for some active weather up and down the Oregon Coast and the Willamette Valley, including a 10-20% chance that Northwest Oregon could see an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon or early evening Sunday. There's an increase in thunderstorm chances along the northern coast.
Temperatures will fall back into the low 60s as that cumulative rain returns to the metro area. But PDX and Vancouver's forecast rain total for Sunday is under a tenth of an inch.
However, once we get into Monday, we could see additional rain, perhaps close to two-tenths of an inch.
The increase in rain chances is certainly a welcomed sight since Portland has only registered a trace of rain through the month of May so far.
