Pendleton, OR – Rain and patchy freezing fog will create hazardous driving conditions in Pendleton and across eastern Oregon through Wednesday morning, with a warming trend expected by the weekend. Travelers along I-84 should prepare for reduced visibility and slick roads during the morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, a 30% chance of rain will continue overnight, with patchy fog and freezing fog developing early Tuesday. Tuesday’s high will reach 43°F, but rain chances will increase to 90% by Wednesday, with southeasterly winds up to 6 mph and temperatures peaking at 42°F.
Rainfall is expected to taper off Thursday, bringing partly sunny skies and a high of 47°F. Morning fog may still linger, affecting early commuters. By Friday, temperatures will climb to 52°F under mostly cloudy skies, marking the start of a warming trend as the arctic front exits the region.
Drivers should remain cautious on local roads and highways, particularly during morning hours when fog and rain are most intense. Keep headlights on, slow down, and check local weather updates regularly. By Saturday, eastern Oregon could see additional rain, but milder temperatures will ease icy conditions.
