Medford, OR – A stretch of warm and dry weather will dominate much of southern Oregon and northern California early this week, with temperatures climbing into the 90s in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service Medford office, daytime highs in west side valleys could reach the low 90s on Tuesday, September 16, while east side areas are expected to see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s through Wednesday. The pattern is expected to hold through midweek, keeping skies mostly clear and conditions dry.
By Thursday, September 18, temperatures will cool slightly but remain above normal seasonal averages. The NWS reports that dry weather will continue, but a shift in the upper-level pattern may bring a chance for afternoon and evening thunderstorms in parts of northern California and areas east of the Cascades heading into Friday, September 19.
No major impacts are expected during the period, but residents should prepare for hot afternoons early in the week and monitor updates on late-week storm chances, especially if traveling across mountain passes or fire-prone regions.
