Oregon — A damp chill hangs in the air across the southern Willamette Valley this morning. Pavement glistens under streetlights, and pockets of light rain linger as commuters step outside. Conditions are improving, but the day starts unsettled.
Scattered showers continue early today, mainly before mid-morning. Temperatures hover in the low 40s at sunrise, keeping the air brisk. Rain tapers quickly, and breaks in the clouds develop as the morning progresses. By afternoon, skies turn partly sunny with highs near 53 degrees.
Travel impacts remain minor, though slick roads are possible early on Interstate 5 and surface streets around Eugene. Drivers should slow down through shaded areas where moisture lingers. Winds stay light, allowing calmer conditions once rain exits.
Tonight turns colder under mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures dip to the low 30s, raising a February cold snap concern for early Tuesday commuters. While widespread ice is not expected, cold surfaces could feel slick in rural spots.
Tuesday stays mostly cloudy and cool, with highs near 50 degrees. Dry weather dominates, offering a break between systems. By Wednesday, sunshine increases and temperatures edge upward into the low 50s, signaling a midweek warm front of sorts.
Thursday remains quiet and seasonable, though clouds return late. By Friday into the weekend, rain chances increase again. Snow levels stay well above valley floors, but higher passes in the Cascades may see winter impacts.
Looking into early next week, longer-range trends suggest a gradual warming pattern. Above-normal temperatures may return, hinting that winter’s grip could loosen as February progresses.
Plan ahead: Expect wet roads early, colder nights, and improving afternoons.
