Eugene, Oregon – Sunshine and near-record highs will dominate the Willamette Valley Tuesday before a wet pattern returns just in time for the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, Eugene will warm to 80°F Tuesday under mostly sunny skies. Winds will remain calm throughout the day, shifting northwest around 5 mph by afternoon. Increasing clouds late Tuesday night will signal a change, with a cooler, moisture-rich system expected to bring showers starting Friday morning.
After Tuesday’s warmth, Eugene will see decreasing sunshine midweek. Wednesday remains mild near 76°F with dry skies through Juneteenth (Thursday), making it a good window for outdoor plans.

Residents should plan to complete outdoor errands before Friday. Charge devices and prep for potential weekend indoor plans. While no flooding is forecast, roads could be slick due to consecutive days of showers.
