Pendleton, Ore. – Drivers in Eastern Oregon should brace for changing conditions as haze gives way to clouds and possible showers Sunday, followed by cooler fall air moving into Pendleton by Monday. Travel along I-84 could become slick during Sunday’s rainfall, making caution essential for those on the road.
According to the National Weather Service, a 30% chance of rain will develop late Sunday morning, with gusty winds up to 26 mph possible through the afternoon. Conditions will improve by Monday, when skies clear and highs drop to the mid-70s, signaling a noticeable fall cooldown.
Pendleton will warm again Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs climbing back into the low to mid-80s under sunny skies. Still, overnight lows dipping into the 40s will bring crisp mornings that feel more like fall. Residents should keep jackets handy and prepare for fluctuating temperatures across Umatilla County.
Visibility concerns remain through Saturday evening due to haze, but skies will gradually improve overnight. Anyone driving at night should remain alert for reduced visibility in low-lying areas.
The calm, dry stretch expected after Monday offers a break, though seasonal shifts mean more frequent pattern changes ahead. Additional advisories could be issued if rain chances increase later in the week.
