EUGENE, Oregon – The morning begins gray and damp across western Oregon, with droplets clinging to car hoods and a faint mist rising off fields along the Willamette Valley. Streetlights shimmer on wet pavement, but by afternoon, the light rain will taper and skies will brighten — the start of a calmer stretch heading into the weekend.
A weak Pacific disturbance slides east early today, bringing scattered showers and low clouds across Eugene, Salem, and Portland. The National Weather Service places rain chances near 30%, mainly through the morning. Travelers on I-5 should plan for slick conditions during the early commute, though visibility and road grip will improve after midday as the system drifts out of the region.
By Saturday, Oregon turns noticeably milder and drier. Expect partly sunny skies and highs near 60°F, perfect for outdoor errands, hiking, or early holiday prep. Sunday stays pleasant, warming into the mid-60s across the valley — a rare mid-November break from constant drizzle.
Looking ahead, the next system arrives Monday into Tuesday, carrying light rain and cooler air. Long-range models hint at a stronger cold front by midweek, signaling a possible “Winter Tease” with lower snow levels in the Cascades and another round of travel-slick weather before Thanksgiving week begins.
For now, the weekend offers a brief gift — mild air, soft sunlight, and dry skies before the Pacific once again reloads its early-winter rhythm.
