A mild November afternoon could quickly give way to wet pavement and colder air across Southern Oregon as another Pacific weather system approaches.
Temperatures in Medford are expected to climb near 69 degrees Saturday before falling to approximately 54 degrees Sunday.
That 15 degree drop in daytime highs could make the weekend feel dramatically different, especially for travelers and families planning outdoor activities.
According to the National Weather Service in Medford, rain becomes likely late Saturday, with precipitation chances reaching 60% during the early Sunday transition.
Rain Returns as Temperatures Drop 15 Degrees Saturday offers the week's warmest early opportunity for outdoor activities, with mostly sunny skies and light winds.
However, increasing clouds will signal changing conditions later in the day.
Rain becomes likely mainly after 4 a.m. Sunday, bringing potentially slick pavement for early travelers.
Drivers using Interstate 5 through Medford, Central Point and nearby Jackson County communities should prepare for changing road conditions.
Sunday's rain chance decreases to 30% before 8 a.m., with mostly cloudy skies expected afterward.
Temperatures will struggle to reach 54 degrees, a noticeable departure from Saturday's mild afternoon.
Keep a jacket nearby. The cooler air could feel especially brisk following the weekend's warmer start.
Another Round of Rain Possible Monday The unsettled weather pattern continues into Monday, November 9.
Forecasters indicate a 40% chance of rain, primarily between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Temperatures should recover slightly to approximately 59 degrees.
While widespread flooding is not indicated in Medford's supplied local outlook, intermittent rainfall could create wet roads.
Travelers heading toward higher elevations should monitor conditions carefully.
The broader Pacific Northwest pattern includes colder systems capable of producing mountain snow, although no snow accumulation is predicted for Medford itself.
No local tornado threat or flash freezing event is indicated in the available outlook.
Tuesday Brings a Welcome Temperature Rebound By Tuesday, November 10, conditions improve considerably.
Partly sunny skies return as temperatures climb to approximately 66 degrees.
That represents a 12 degree rebound from Sunday's high.
The warmer, drier period could offer residents another opportunity to clear fallen leaves, prepare gardens and secure outdoor belongings.
Veterans Day continues the milder trend, with afternoon temperatures approaching 69 degrees.
