Oregon – Damp pavement glistens under low clouds as early-morning rain brushes across the southern Willamette Valley. The air feels cool and heavy, with mist hanging over side streets and highways.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, light rain chances continue today across Lane County, with off-and-on showers possible through the afternoon. Temperatures stay mild for late January, topping out in the upper 50s while clouds hold firm.
In Eugene, morning rain may ease at times, but wet roads remain an issue for commuters and school traffic. Drivers along Beltline Highway, Highway 99, and nearby rural routes should expect slick conditions, especially during heavier bursts. Visibility may briefly dip during showers, though widespread fog is not expected.
Conditions quiet slightly tonight, with mostly cloudy skies and lows dropping into the mid 40s. Friday stays similar, featuring clouds and a slight chance of rain later in the day. Roads may dry briefly, but lingering moisture keeps surfaces slick.
Saturday offers a short break. Clouds dominate, yet rain stays limited for much of the day. Afternoon highs climb into the low 60s, offering a mild winter feel. To be fair, sunshine remains limited, and damp ground never fully dries.
By Sunday, rain chances ramp up again. Showers are likely by late morning and persist into the afternoon. Weekend travel may slow, especially on I-5 and area connectors, as steady rain returns. Plan extra time if driving and keep headlights on during rainfall.
Looking ahead, early next week trends quieter with fewer rain chances and slightly cooler nights. Meteorologists note precipitation decreases across much of the region as February approaches, though winter clouds linger.
For now, expect changing road conditions and periodic rain. Traveling this weekend? Share what conditions look like where you are.
