Pendleton, Oregon – Wind gusts up to 23 mph could rattle Pendleton by Wednesday afternoon, just as a quiet, sunny stretch gives way to a wetter weekend. Drivers along I-84 should stay alert for rapidly changing conditions, especially heading into Friday night when rain chances rise.
According to the National Weather Service in Pendleton, a breezy Wednesday will see south winds of 6 to 14 mph increasing in the afternoon, with gusts peaking near 23 mph. While Wednesday remains dry and mostly sunny, conditions begin to shift heading into the Juneteenth holiday and beyond.
Thursday brings increasing clouds and a high near 80°F. By Friday, a slight chance of showers emerges late in the day, with the best chances for rain arriving Saturday — currently sitting at 50%. Localized showers could create slick spots, especially early in the morning.
Weekend highs will cool to the lower 70s, with Sunday remaining partly cloudy and damp. Those planning outdoor events for Juneteenth or the weekend should monitor updates and consider alternate plans.
