EUGENE, Ore. – Drivers across Lane County should brace for chilly mornings but warm afternoons as Eugene enters a sunny fall stretch beginning Thursday. With highs near 77°F and lows dipping into the low 50s, travelers on I-5 and local roads may encounter early morning fog and cooler air, especially before sunrise. Residents are urged to keep jackets handy for the morning commute and prepare for lingering sunshine by midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, Thursday will bring mostly sunny skies with light north winds of 5 to 9 mph. Friday and Saturday are expected to stay clear, with highs reaching the low 80s before cooler air returns Sunday. The agency notes that conditions remain favorable for outdoor activities, though nighttime lows in the low-to-mid 50s will make evenings noticeably crisp.
Local impacts include cooler mornings for Springfield and Creswell, while those heading west toward Veneta may see patches of early fog. Campers and outdoor workers should plan for wide temperature swings, while drivers should use caution during dawn hours when visibility briefly lowers.
By late Sunday, clouds will increase across the Eugene-Springfield metro, with rain chances developing by Tuesday. While rainfall is not expected to be heavy, wet roads could create slick conditions for the morning commute.
More updates will be issued as new advisories come in, especially if rain potential strengthens heading into next week.
