Pendleton, Oregon – A dry and sunny stretch across eastern Oregon will give way to midweek rain and a shot of summer heat by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Pendleton will enjoy mostly sunny skies and a high of 64°F on Tuesday, May 20, with light southwest winds gusting up to 25 mph. Conditions remain calm Tuesday night, though winds will persist with gusts near 24 mph and lows dipping to 39°F.
