But a thicker layer of cool marine air pouring inland overnight means more clouds and cooler afternoon highs only in the upper 60s after a cool night in the 40s. As the marine layer thins again over the weekend, more sunshine and warmer temperatures return.

PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - We’ll stay comfortable and dry through Monday with cool nights and a combination of clouds and sunshine. Models are hinting at some shower chances by the middle of next week. A thicker marine layer (ocean-cooled air) gave us more morning cloud cover Wednesday. The result is a much cooler afternoon. We expected about 5 degrees cooling but we’re down more than 10 degrees from yesterday. Temperatures are back to normal and will stay that way over the next week.
