Oregon – A blanket of thick valley fog hangs low over Medford this morning, muting the sunrise and slowing traffic along I-5. Temperatures sit near 39 degrees at Rogue Valley International Airport, and humidity is at 100 percent.
Widespread fog continues through mid-morning, especially in low-lying areas and near the Rogue River. Visibility may change quickly from clear to murky in seconds. Drivers should use low beams and allow extra space.
Conditions improve late this morning as skies turn mostly sunny. Highs climb to near 58 degrees. The shift will feel mild and calm compared to the damp start.
Tonight brings patchy fog again with lows near 37. Friday starts foggy before sunshine returns, pushing highs to around 62 degrees. That’s a brief Spring Tease before wetter weather moves in.
Clouds increase Friday night. By Saturday, rain becomes likely after midday with highs near 56. Rain chances rise to 60 percent Saturday night, though totals remain light, generally under a tenth of an inch.
Sunday carries another chance of showers, mainly before late afternoon. Highs reach near 60 degrees. Early March begins unsettled but not stormy.
Looking ahead, Monday turns mostly sunny with highs in the lower 60s. Tuesday may reach the mid-60s before another rain chance approaches midweek. The broader pattern keeps the West Coast active while other regions deal with snow in the Northern Plains and heavy rain along the Gulf Coast.
