Eugene, OR – Temperatures in the Eugene area are expected to soar to 99 degrees Tuesday, with an Extreme Heat Warning in effect until 10 p.m. tonight. The National Weather Service warns that heat-related illnesses are a major concern, especially for vulnerable populations and anyone spending extended time outdoors.
According to the National Weather Service, dangerously hot conditions will affect the greater Eugene area, Lane County, and surrounding regions, with widespread highs in the upper 90s to low 100s. Overnight lows will only drop to the low 60s, offering little relief. Officials urge residents to drink plenty of water, stay indoors during peak heat, and check on neighbors, especially the elderly. For those without air conditioning, using fans and keeping windows closed during the day can help reduce heat exposure.
Overnight cooling will begin Tuesday night, with Wednesday’s high near 90 degrees and further relief expected by Thursday as temperatures dip into the low 80s. The break in heat could help improve outdoor air quality if wildfire smoke remains minimal.
