Medford, OR – A pale fog rests over the Rogue Valley this morning, softening headlights and blurring the mountain edges. Dense patches of fog remain the main hazard for early commuters, with limited visibility expected along I-5 and Route 62 through midmorning.

According to the National Weather Service in Medford, fog will slowly lift by late morning, revealing a mostly sunny Thursday with highs near 57°F. Calm winds and stable air will allow fog to redevelop Friday morning, keeping travel slow during early hours before sunshine returns by afternoon.

Saturday offers the best break — clear skies and a high near 60°F, ideal for outdoor plans or holiday errands. But don’t pack away the rain gear just yet: clouds return Sunday, bringing light showers late in the day and steadier rain by Monday as a Pacific front pushes inland.

Road conditions should stay dry through Saturday, but visibility remains a concern in valley lows during early drives. Travelers are encouraged to use headlights, reduce speed, and maintain safe distances through dense fog zones.
