Oregon – Patchy fog drifts across parts of the Rogue Valley this morning as cool air settles over Medford. Headlights glow faintly along Interstate 5 while the first sunlight begins breaking through the gray.
Early temperatures sit near 39°F across Jackson County under mostly cloudy skies. Calm winds and overnight moisture allowed fog pockets to form in low-lying areas of the valley.
According to the National Weather Service in Medford, fog will gradually clear through mid-morning. Skies will brighten through the afternoon with temperatures climbing to about 66°F across Medford, Central Point, and nearby communities.
Drivers along Interstate 5, Highway 62, and Highway 99 should stay alert early this morning. Patchy fog may briefly reduce visibility in valleys and near rivers before sunshine takes over.
Conditions become clear and calm through the evening. Temperatures fall into the low 40s overnight with light winds.
Sunday continues the mild early-March pattern across southern Oregon. After a little morning fog, sunshine returns with highs reaching around 65°F across the Rogue Valley.
Residents should also remember the Daylight Saving Time change early Sunday morning at 2 a.m., when clocks jump forward one hour. Evenings will begin staying brighter as spring approaches.
Meteorologists are now tracking a shift toward cooler conditions early next week.
Clouds increase Monday with highs dropping to about 55°F. The Rogue Valley will remain mostly dry, but skies stay gray through much of the day.
