Eugene, Oregon – An 80% chance of rain arrives Friday in Eugene, bringing a sudden shift from spring warmth to wet roads and chilly winds.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, rain showers will begin midday Friday with winds up to 9 mph and continue into Friday night. Drivers along I-5 should expect reduced visibility and possible standing water by the evening commute. Rainfall amounts will remain light, but wet pavement could lead to slick spots during peak travel times.
Temperatures will cool sharply behind the rain, with highs dropping from 79°F Thursday to just 59°F on Saturday. Saturday night could dip to 39°F — a brisk reminder that spring in western Oregon doesn’t always mean mild. While Saturday offers only a 50% chance of lingering showers, Sunday looks dry and sunnier, with a high near 65°F.
Residents planning weekend activities should stay weather-aware and consider backup plans for Friday. Keep rain gear handy, avoid flooded shoulders, and watch for pooling on rural routes near Springfield and Creswell.
