Medford, OR – Clouds are expected to roll into the Rogue Valley Friday, setting the stage for a cooler, unsettled weekend that could bring light rain to parts of southern Oregon.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday will start sunny before turning mostly cloudy in the afternoon, with highs near 89°F. Winds from the northwest will stay light, but overnight cloud cover will increase as moisture builds ahead of Saturday’s system. The greatest rain chances arrive between late Saturday morning and early afternoon, with about a 30% probability of showers.
Areas including downtown Medford, Central Point, and along I-5 north toward Grants Pass may see brief wet pavement. The rain risk is low, but it could be enough to disrupt outdoor events or slow early weekend travel. For those with farmers market plans or outdoor dining reservations, Friday morning may be the best window for dry weather.
While Sunday rebounds to partly sunny skies and warmer temperatures, another stretch of sunny, dry days is expected early next week. Residents should keep an eye on updates in case rain chances shift closer to the weekend.
