Santa bringing wet, windy weather to Portland

Published 1:03 pm Tuesday, December 24, 2024

A strong Pacific storm will arrive on Christmas Day, bringing back wet and windy conditions for much of the Oregon coastline and inland valleys. Snowy conditions also will return to the Cascades, bringing travel impacts through the end of the week.

Expect showers to begin around 9 a.m. on Christmas morning before conditions turn soggy by the evening for Portland and the Willamette Valley. A strong warm front, coupled with a moderate atmospheric river, will steadily increase rainfall throughout late Wednesday evening to early Thursday morning. Rain showers then continue Thursday afternoon with several more rounds of widespread rain throughout the weekend.
