Medford, Oregon – Dangerous heat is building in southern Oregon, with triple-digit temperatures poised to grip Medford by the weekend. Friday brings the first punch of summer-like heat, with a high near 94°F expected across the Rogue Valley.
According to the National Weather Service in Medford, Saturday’s high will soar to 99°F, followed by a scorching 102°F on Sunday. The agency warns that these temperatures—combined with dry air and light winds—pose elevated heat illness risks, especially for those without access to cooling. Drivers on Interstate 5 should prepare for potential heat-induced road glare and vehicle overheating.
Locals are urged to stay indoors between 1 and 6 p.m., when UV levels and heat will be most intense. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities for the morning or evening. Pets, the elderly, and outdoor workers face the highest risk and should be closely monitored.
Nights offer little relief, with lows remaining in the mid-60s through Sunday night. Next week, conditions stay hot, with 100°F expected Monday before a modest cooldown begins Tuesday. No rain or cloud cover is anticipated through midweek.
Heat safety remains the priority. Hydrate frequently, limit outdoor exposure, and check local advisories for cooling shelters if needed. High temperatures will persist into early next week, with additional advisories possible.
