Today's Weather in Portland 05/02/25: Wind Shear, Brewing Clouds, and Weekend Forecast Breakdown


Listen Later

Hey weather warriors! Dustin Breeze here, bringing you the hottest - and coolest - forecast in Portland! Let me tell you, this weather is about to do more twists and turns than I did on the football field back in the day.

Alright, let's break down this meteorological playbook! Tonight, we're looking at a clear sky with temperatures dropping to a crisp 51 degrees. It's gonna be calmer than a quarterback in the pocket.

Now, for my Weather Playbook segment - today, we're talking about wind shear! Think of wind shear like a defensive line shifting directions. It's when wind speed or direction changes dramatically with height. Imagine a running back trying to dodge invisible tackles in the sky - that's wind shear for you!

Friday's forecast is looking like a strategic play. We're seeing increasing clouds with temperatures climbing to a sweet 74 degrees. That west southwest wind will be rolling in at 5 to 8 miles per hour - just enough to keep things interesting.

Three-day forecast, coming in hot:
Friday: Increasing clouds, high of 74
Saturday: Cloudy turning mostly sunny, high near 63
Sunday: Mostly sunny with a high near 68

And here's a weather joke for you - why did the cloud break up with the wind? Because their relationship was too turbulent! Ha!

Special local note for my Portland peeps - this weekend looks perfect for hitting Forest Park or grabbing a craft beer downtown. Just keep a light jacket handy.

It's gonna be WIIIIILD out there, folks!
