Eugene, OR – After a damp and chilly weekend across Lane County, clearer skies and a welcome fall warmup are on the way for Eugene. Showers will linger through Sunday night, especially for drivers along I-5, but dry, sunny weather returns Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, Eugene will see 90% rain chances Saturday night and Sunday, with totals up to a quarter inch. Sunday’s high will only reach 61°F, making it one of the chilliest afternoons of October so far. Thunder is not expected, but heavier rain could reduce visibility during afternoon travel.
Drivers along Beltline Highway and I-105 should remain alert for slick surfaces and localized pooling, especially near underpasses and low-lying intersections. Winds won’t be a major concern, but gusts up to 20 mph are possible through Sunday night.
By early Monday, the weather pattern shifts dramatically. Sunny skies and highs in the low 60s return, continuing through Wednesday. Morning lows drop into the low 40s, so layers will be key for early risers, students, and morning commuters.
This dry stretch is ideal for fall decorating, pumpkin patch trips, or outdoor home projects. More rain could return by late Thursday, so locals should make the most of the early-week calm.
