Eugene, Oregon – Sunny skies and near-summer temperatures will dominate western Oregon Saturday, but Memorial Day travelers should plan for showers by Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, Eugene will see clear, calm conditions with highs near 78°F Saturday — ideal for barbecues and outdoor events. But by late Sunday, a 30% chance of rain could dampen plans, especially after 11 p.m. A broader system could bring more widespread rain into Memorial Day morning, though skies should dry out by the afternoon.
Saturday’s weather will be the highlight of the weekend, with light north winds and comfortable humidity levels. Sunday continues warm with a high around 73°F, but clouds will increase as the day progresses. Residents hosting events outdoors should secure tents or have indoor alternatives ready by the evening.
Drivers along I-5 and Route 126 should expect slick roads and reduced visibility overnight Sunday into early Monday. Rain chances persist through Memorial Day morning but taper off by midday, leaving room for afternoon recovery and outdoor celebrations.
Looking ahead, next week starts mild and sunny. Tuesday will bring highs in the upper 70s under clear skies. By Wednesday, light showers may return, with a slight chance lingering into Thursday.
