Sun breaks and unsettled showers linger around the Portland area Wednesday

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Wednesday brings in more dry time with lingering showers around the valley.

Skies will begin to dry as clouds decrease through the mid-morning hours. Mostly cloudy conditions will remain, but a few moments of sunshine could help create instability in the atmosphere on Wednesday afternoon and evening. That could bring back pop-up showers in Portland and the valley with the chance for thunderstorms mainly in the foothills of the Cascades.
