Oregon — A quiet but cold morning settles over eastern Oregon as Pendleton wakes under clear skies and brisk air. Streetlights reflect faintly on damp pavement, and temperatures hover near 40 degrees before sunrise.
Conditions remain calm early, but clouds thicken quickly as the day develops. Light rain becomes possible by morning, with the best chance before midday. Highs reach the mid 50s, though sunshine stays limited. To be fair, it feels mild for winter, but moisture changes the equation for travel.
Drivers along I-84 and Highway 11 should remain alert. Wet roads combined with cool air can create slick spots, especially during early commutes. Flash freezing remains a seasonal concern when temperatures dip after sunset.
Tonight stays mostly cloudy, with lows sliding toward the upper 30s. Friday continues gray and quiet. Clouds dominate, and highs again reach the mid 50s. Winds stay light, keeping conditions steady but damp in feel.
Saturday brings little change. Mostly cloudy skies hold, with highs near the low 50s. Outdoor plans can move forward, but the ground remains cool and soft. By Saturday night, temperatures dip closer to the freezing mark in outlying areas.
Sunday introduces another subtle shift. A slight chance of rain returns, mainly later in the day. While rainfall looks light, visibility may drop at times, especially during evening travel. Plan extra time if heading out.
Looking ahead toward Monday and early February, skies partially clear. Daytime highs stay in the low 50s, while nights cool into the low 30s. Precipitation chances trend lower next week as colder air settles across parts of the West.
For now, winter weather in Pendleton remains manageable but watchful. Traveling this weekend? Let us know how road conditions look where you are.
