Oregon – Rain is already soaking Eugene this afternoon, turning pavement slick and reducing visibility along I-5 and Beltline Highway as steady showers move through. Water sprays off tires, and pooling is starting in low spots, making travel slower and more cautious right now.
According to the National Weather Service, rain and thunderstorms are likely through the afternoon, with precipitation chances near 90%. Rainfall totals could reach between a quarter and half an inch, with brief heavier bursts possible during thunderstorms. The wet pattern continues into Sunday, with another 80% chance of steady rain developing by late morning.
Across Lane County, including Springfield and Creswell, roads will remain wet through Sunday night. Drivers should expect reduced visibility during heavier showers and allow extra time on commutes. Keep headlights on and watch for standing water, especially on ramps and underpasses.
Rain continues into Monday with a 70% chance, keeping conditions damp and cool. Highs stay in the mid-50s before dipping into the upper 40s and low 50s by Tuesday. That cooler air may even lower snow levels in the Cascades by midweek, a reminder that spring can still shift quickly.
For now, expect consistent rain and slow travel through Sunday night, with only brief breaks. Keep rain gear close and monitor updates as conditions evolve.
