Oregon – A cold, biting start is unfolding across Pendleton this morning, where temperatures near 36°F and a light breeze are creating wind chills close to 29°F, making it feel closer to freezing as the day begins.
According to the National Weather Service in Pendleton, skies will gradually clear through the morning, allowing temperatures to climb სწრაფly into the low 70s by afternoon. Light east winds will keep conditions calm, supporting smooth travel along Interstate 84 and Highway 11.
Expect a noticeable warm-up through the next two days. Sunday brings partly sunny skies with highs near 76°F, while Monday peaks around 78°F, marking the warmest stretch of the period. Mornings will remain cool, so layered clothing will help manage the sharp temperature swings.
