Pendleton, Oregon – Oregon winds will sweep across Pendleton today, with gusts reaching 33 mph before a sharp summer warmup takes control. The bigger five-day story follows: temperatures surge into the mid-80s, then showers and cooler air arrive Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Pendleton, today reaches 74 degrees under sunny skies. West winds run 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph.
That wind could create noticeable crosswinds along I-84 and exposed roads across the Columbia Basin. Drivers of trucks, trailers and high-profile vehicles should maintain extra space.
Winds ease tonight, though gusts could initially reach 28 mph. Temperatures fall sharply toward 40 degrees by Sunday morning.
Sunday quickly rebounds to 77 degrees with sunshine. Then Pendleton’s summer heat accelerates.
Monday reaches 86 degrees, a 12-degree increase from today’s high. Winds remain relatively light, limiting weather-related travel concerns.
Tuesday stays warm at 84 degrees. Clouds begin increasing as the next change approaches.
A 20% chance of showers develops after 11 p.m. Tuesday. That chance continues Wednesday morning before 11 a.m. No rainfall amount is provided.
Wednesday’s high reaches only 76 degrees, marking an eight-degree drop from Tuesday. Partly sunny skies follow the early shower chance.
The supplied Pendleton data shows no snow or freezing temperatures. However, Sunday morning’s 40-degree low brings notably brisk air for late August. There is no flash-freeze setup because temperatures remain above freezing and no snowmelt is present.
The local data also identifies no thunderstorm or tornado threat for Pendleton. Broader Western storm risks should not be interpreted as a local severe-weather alert.
For now, watch today’s wind first. Then prepare for rapid warming Monday and a cooler, potentially damp transition Wednesday.
