High winds are expected to continue Friday in east Portland and through the Columbia River Gorge. Thousands of people saw their power go out Thursday thanks to the strong gusts.
The Portland General Electric and Pacific Power outage maps Friday morning show electricity has been returned to almost all affected customers.
The Portland metro area on Friday will see sunny skies and a high of 46 degrees Fahrenheit with wind gusts up to around 43 miles per hour, the National Weather Service reports. The temperature will dip close to freezing overnight.
Saturday is expected to be about the same, with breeziness and a high of 48. The low overnight will drop to about 31 degrees.
A slight chance of rain arrives on Sunday, with a greater possibility of precipitation — 30% — on Monday.
