Eugene, Oregon – Eugene is heating up fast, with temperatures expected to soar to 89°F by Friday afternoon—making it one of the hottest stretches this summer for the southern Willamette Valley.
According to the National Weather Service, a strong ridge of high pressure will dominate the region through at least Wednesday, keeping skies clear and temperatures well above seasonal norms. Friday and Saturday will see daytime highs in the upper 80s, followed by limited nighttime cooling, with lows only dipping to the upper 50s.
The dry, sunny pattern elevates fire weather concerns across Lane County and surrounding areas, especially in grassy or forested zones. Winds are expected to remain light, but residents are urged to avoid outdoor burning and be cautious with ignition sources through early next week.
City parks, trails, and public spaces will remain open, but residents are advised to hydrate frequently and limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours. This heat wave comes as part of a broader regional warming trend, stretching into southern Washington and central Oregon.
The heat is expected to linger, with highs in the 80s forecast through at least Thursday. More updates may be issued if fire danger increases.
