Eugene, OR – Oregon residents are waking up to another crisp, sunny start this Tuesday, with fall colors glowing under clear skies. But those planning outdoor projects, leaf-viewing drives, or early Halloween decorating should plan ahead — a change in the weather is coming by late Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, highs will soar near 80°F today and Wednesday before clouds move in. By Thursday, October 9, a weak system brings a 40% chance of rain late in the day, signaling a return to more typical fall conditions across Lane County. Light showers may spread along I-5 between Eugene and Salem by Friday morning, potentially affecting early commuters.
Winds remain light through midweek, with calm mornings ideal for yard work or local pumpkin patch visits. However, forecasters caution that cooler evenings could drop into the mid-40s — a reminder that Oregon’s fall chill isn’t far off.
Looking Ahead:
- Thursday: High 65°F, chance of rain late.
- Friday: Rain likely, high near 65°F.
- Saturday: Cloudy with highs in the low 60s.
- Sunday: Scattered showers, highs near 60°F.
- Monday: Partly sunny and mild, around 80°F again.
