Oregon – Headlights glow softly through pockets of fog across the southern Willamette Valley this morning, especially near open fields and low-lying roads. The air feels damp and cool, and visibility can change quickly from block to block, catching early drivers off guard.
According to the National Weather Service office serving western Oregon, patchy fog has developed across Eugene and nearby communities, lingering through the morning hours. Some locations may briefly see dense fog, especially near rivers and rural stretches. Visibility drops could slow traffic along I-5 and surface roads before conditions improve later this morning.
Temperatures start in the upper 30s to low 40s, with calm winds allowing fog to hold on longer. Drivers should use low-beam headlights, slow down, and expect sudden changes in visibility. To be fair, conditions improve fast once sunshine breaks through.
By late morning into the afternoon, fog lifts and skies turn mostly sunny. Highs climb to around 60 degrees, mild for early February. Tonight stays quiet but cool, setting the stage for another round of patchy fog late.
Midweek weather trends warmer and brighter. Tuesday and Wednesday bring mostly sunny skies with highs near 60 again, offering a springlike feel during the afternoons. Mornings remain chilly, though frost is limited. Meteorologists note this calm pattern contrasts sharply with winter weather gripping the Midwest and East, where Arctic air and snow continue to dominate.
Looking toward the Feb 6–8 weekend, clouds increase and rain chances slowly return. Showers appear more likely by Sunday, while daytime temperatures hold in the mid to upper 50s. Snow is not expected in the valley, but slick spots remain possible during early mornings where fog condenses on roads.
For now, plan extra time during the morning drive and stay alert in fog-prone areas. Is visibility improving yet where you are, or still socked in?
