Enjoy the sun while it lasts, Portlanders.

The National Weather Service expects Monday to bring mostly cloudy skies that gradually become sunny. Commuters should expect patchy fog before 10 a.m.

Monday’s temperatures are expected to top out near 62 degrees.

In other words: Portland is primed for a perfect fall day.

Forecasters call for mostly cloudy skies Tuesday, as well. But Portland’s dry streak will likely end that night or the next day.

The weather service expects at least a chance of precipitation each day through Sunday.
