Pendleton, OR – Halloween night is shaping up to be a wet and chilly one across eastern Oregon, as rain showers and freezing temperatures are expected. Trick-or-treaters and their families are urged to bundle up, as low temperatures near 32°F and rain showers will create a damp, cold evening. Those celebrating outdoors should prepare with warm clothing and umbrellas for a safe Halloween night.
According to the National Weather Service in Pendleton, rain will start late today, with temperatures dropping to freezing overnight, especially at higher elevations. These cold conditions are part of a larger weather pattern that will impact the region for the next few days. A Winter Weather Advisory is also in effect for the Oregon Cascades, where snowfall above 4,000 feet could bring up to 8 inches by Friday.
