Pacific Northwest Winter Forecast 2026-27 | Portland News

Winter in the Pacific Northwest might bring warmer-than-average temps, with coldest stretches hitting late December through early February — classic Portland weather. Expect more rain and snow overall, especially in the mountains during late December, mid-January, and mid-February. While El Niño usually means drier, warmer winters, this forecast bucks that trend — partly because last year’s weak La Niña failed to deliver the expected snowpack. Remember: Almanac predictions are based on history, not crystal balls — stay tuned for weekly forecasts as we get closer.
