PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The first fall storm of the season moves through western Oregon and southwest Washington late Thursday night.

Overcast skies will keep Portland area temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s Thursday afternoon. Rain isn’t expected to arrive in the Willamette Valley until well after sunset. The window of opportunity will fall from 9 p.m. to midnight.

Soaking rains overnight will transition to scattered rain showers throughout the day Friday. Temperatures will take a hit with the passing of this latest front. Afternoon highs Friday will sit over 10 degrees below average. Friday could become one of the coolest days Portland’s felt since early June.

Winds are also expected to pick up within this system. Gusts up to 30 to 40mph with a few isolated gusts up to 45mph are possible across the Portland metro area throughout the morning. It would be smart to bring in any outdoor patio furniture and cover items that need to stay dry.

Rain accumulation is expected to be near a quarter of an inch to three quarters of an inch for some across the region. Heaviest amounts are likely to be found along the coast. These forecast totals are expected to accumulate from Thursday night to Friday evening.

The cooling temperatures will bring snow elevation levels down to nearly 5,000 feet by the weekend. A few snow showers are likely to leave behind a dusting of snow on Oregon’s highest Cascade peaks. No mountain pass travel is expected to be impacted by the cooler and potentially snowy mountain forecast.

A drying trend takes shape this weekend, but temperatures will remain below average. The final week of September brings a rapid average cooling trend to the Willamette Valley. Highs in the low 70s will be the new norm as October approaches.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Live music isn’t letting up in Portland this fall.

Travelers named Portland International Airport (PDX) the best airport in the United States in Travel + Leisure’s survey in 2021, as well as every year from 2013–2019. Why do they love PDX? An easy light rail connection to downtown, free Wi-Fi, great local food and drink (including microbrews, craft spirits and even food carts), and tax-free shopping without markups are just a few of the reasons. That’s not to mention the superior guest experience travelers report having whenever they pass through the Portland airport.

In August 2024, PDX unveiled a massive renovation that “set a new high bar for airport design,” according to Fast Company magazine. Featuring streams of natural light, more than 70 live trees, the return of the iconic PDX carpet, a stunning Northwest-sourced timber lattice ceiling, and multiple 120-foot-long video walls, the project is a stunning sight to behold.

The MAX Light Rail Red Line is the easiest way to travel to and from the airport. Here are some quick facts:

On average, the one-way trip from PDX to downtown Portland takes 20–40 minutes by car.
