Medford, Oregon – Memorial Day in southern Oregon kicks off a summer-like streak, with Medford expected to reach 76°F and only climb higher through midweek. Breezy afternoon winds—gusting up to 20 mph—could make travel along I-5 slightly more hazardous Monday afternoon, particularly for high-profile vehicles.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will be mostly sunny with northwest winds picking up to 7 mph in the afternoon. Winds continue into Monday night at 6 to 11 mph, tapering off by midnight. While Memorial Day stays mild, Medford’s temperatures will surge to 90°F by Tuesday and peak near 94°F on Wednesday, marking the hottest stretch of 2024 so far.
Expect clear skies and calm evenings throughout the week. Tuesday night and Wednesday night will be mostly clear with lows in the mid-to-upper 50s—ideal for evening outings, but still warm enough to keep air conditioners running overnight.
Locals are urged to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen during peak hours, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities between noon and 5 p.m. With extended dry, sunny conditions, fire danger may also rise later this week in Jackson County and surrounding areas.
