As Oregon begins easing coronavirus restrictions and more residents are vaccinated, perhaps many moms will get their wish Sunday to gather with family for Mother’s Day.
In these COVID times, small gatherings outdoors are still the safest option, according to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control.
But you’ll probably want a jacket for that outdoor gathering and perhaps a bit of shelter. In Portland, the National Weather Service is expecting a 40% chance of rain Sunday and high temperatures in the mid 60s. Lows will be in the mid 40s. There should be a slight chance of a sun break, but overall, skies will be mostly cloudy. Any rain amounts will likely be light.
The Oregon coast has a similar chance of showers, but high temperatures will be a cool 56 degrees in most of the beach towns.
Central Oregon will be sunny, but still cool with highs only in the mid 50s. Southern Oregon will be sunny with no rain expected. Klamath Falls should see highs in the mid 60s Sunday.
On those cool days, a Mother’s Day visit to a garden might be just right. Portland area gardens, including the newly renovated Leach Botanical Garden, are open for visitors. Please check the websites for limited admission policies and other COVID-19 safety guidelines. Read more here about gardens in the metro area. Or consider a visit to one of Salem’s many gardens this weekend.

If your mother loves a nice car ride, remember the Historic Columbia River Highway recently reopened to vehicle traffic following months of closures due to winter slide activity.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, indoor dining will be allowed at limited capacity throughout the state starting Friday as 15 Oregon counties drop from “extreme risk.” In this topsy-turvy time for restaurants, it’s always a good idea to call ahead to find out how they’re adapting to COVID restrictions and be patient once you get there.
Indoor visits are allowed at Oregon nursing, assisted living and residential care facilities in Oregon counties if visitors and residents follow guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Those include wearing a mask, maintaining 6 feet of distance between people, and using proper hand hygiene. This guidance applies at all large facilities with exceptions noted here: oregon.gov/dhs/COVID-19/Pages/LTC-Facilities.aspx
