Oregon’s Willamette Valley is waking up to a cold, damp February morning in Eugene. Wet pavement glistens under low gray clouds, and light rain mixes with snow in heavier bursts.
At Mahlon Sweet Field, temperatures sit near 36 degrees with overcast skies. Periods of rain and snow continue through the day, especially before mid-afternoon. Snow levels hover near 700 feet, rising toward 1400 feet later. Little accumulation is expected in town, but brief slushy coatings are possible on higher hills.
Drivers along I-5 and Beltline should stay alert. Visibility can drop in heavier showers. Bridges and overpasses cool faster than main roads. This is prime time for slick spots, especially if showers briefly taper and temperatures dip again.
Tonight, rain and snow showers redevelop after midnight. Lows fall near 29 degrees. Even light moisture could refreeze toward daybreak. Watch for patchy icy conditions early Wednesday.
Wednesday brings widespread rain and snow showers before late morning. Highs reach the low 40s. Snow levels rise during the afternoon, limiting valley impacts. Showers continue Wednesday night with lows near 32.
Thursday stays unsettled with rain and snow showers likely. Highs hover near 42. Snow levels fluctuate between 700 and 1200 feet. By Friday, scattered rain and snow showers linger with highs in the mid-40s.
Keep coats handy and allow extra commute time through midweek. Conditions may change quickly under heavier cells.
The weekend trends milder. Saturday climbs near 50 with rain likely. Sunday reaches the low 50s with steady rain. Looking ahead to the 6–10 day outlook, above-normal temperatures are favored across much of the West. A gradual warming trend into next week could bring early hints of Spring Warmth to western Oregon.
