Oregon – Damp roads and low clouds are lingering across Pendleton this morning, with light rain creating slick spots and reduced visibility along US-395 and I-84. The air feels cool near 48°F, and conditions remain unsettled for early travel.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered rain will continue through late morning before skies gradually clear by early afternoon. Winds will increase from the west at 10 to 14 mph, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph. Drivers should prepare for brief wet roadways followed by sudden crosswinds, especially on open stretches of highway.
By afternoon, sunshine begins to break through, helping temperatures climb to around 55°F. Roads will dry out, but gusty winds may continue to impact high-profile vehicles and rural travel routes.
Conditions shift quickly heading into tonight. Skies clear, and temperatures drop sharply to near 29°F by early Thursday morning. That rapid cooling sets up frost formation and possible icy patches, especially where moisture lingers on bridges and untreated roads. This is a classic early spring setup for flash freezing in Eastern Oregon.
Thursday brings bright sunshine but a cold start. Highs reach near 53°F with lighter winds, offering a calmer day after the morning chill.
A steady warming trend follows into Friday and the weekend, with highs climbing into the low to mid-60s under mostly sunny skies. By Sunday, clouds increase again with a slight chance of rain.
Plan for changing conditions today, and be ready for a cold, icy start tomorrow morning.
