A Thursday warm-up kicks off a longer weather transition into next week.

High pressure will help take temperatures back up into the low 70s around the Willamette Valley and S.W. Washington. 70-degree weather has only come ONCE in Portland so far this month. Skies will stay partly cloudy today and tonight.

Overnight lows will drop down to near 47 degrees.

Expect increasing clouds tomorrow around the region. Skies will turn mostly cloudy by evening as a disturbance begins to move through the area. Daytime highs will be in the mid 60s. A few sprinkles are possible overnight tomorrow night.
