Eugene, OR – A blanket of thick fog has settled over the Willamette Valley this early morning, shrouding streetlights and farmland in silver haze. The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for Lane County — including Eugene, Springfield, Cottage Grove, and Creswell — in effect until 10:00 a.m. Visibility has dropped to a quarter mile or less, and drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights, and leave extra distance on I-5 and Highway 99.
As the fog burns off, skies remain mostly cloudy through the afternoon with highs near 60°F. Veterans Day on Tuesday brings a calm, mild break in the action — partly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 50s make for comfortable outdoor ceremonies and travel conditions.
By Wednesday, a new Pacific system begins pushing into western Oregon. Expect rain to develop by late morning, increasing through the afternoon as southerly winds pick up. Rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches across Lane County by Thursday, with brief gusts near 25 mph along exposed ridges and open highways.
The soggy stretch continues through Friday before tapering into the weekend. After a quiet start to the week, Eugene’s November weather will shift quickly — from fog to rain to full-on Pacific moisture. Keep rain gear handy and drive carefully this morning through the dense fog before the next storm rolls in.
