Eugene, OR – A weather system moving through the Pacific Northwest will bring rain showers and snow to Eugene, OR, this Wednesday, April 2nd. Expect conditions to change throughout the day, with snow likely at higher elevations and showers in the valley.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are expected to start early in the morning, with snow levels dropping to 2,500 feet. As temperatures hover around 39°F, expect the snow to accumulate, especially in the surrounding higher elevations. The valley floor in Eugene could also see periods of rain mixed with snow. These conditions will persist into the afternoon, with the heaviest precipitation expected by 4 p.m. While no significant snow accumulation is predicted, new snow may accumulate up to an inch in certain areas.
By the evening, expect a break in precipitation with partly cloudy skies. However, temperatures will continue to drop, leading to frost forming overnight. A low of 33°F is forecasted, so residents should prepare for potentially slick conditions on roads by early Thursday morning.
In the coming days, Eugene can expect a brief respite from the weather, with Thursday bringing mostly sunny skies. Highs will reach the mid-50s, with a slight chance of showers later in the day. For the weekend, sunshine will return, and daytime highs will warm into the low 70s by Saturday.
Residents are advised to stay updated on weather conditions, particularly for early morning travel, as slick roads and reduced visibility may pose safety risks.
