Oregon – Low clouds clung to the Willamette Valley early this morning as rain darkened pavement and softened the hills around Eugene. The air felt heavy and damp, and conditions remain unsettled as a wet winter pattern carries into the first full week of 2026.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, widespread rain continues today with showers lingering through Sunday night. Eugene stays locked in steady rainfall at times, with daytime temperatures topping out near the mid-50s before cooling late Sunday. Winds remain light, but persistent moisture keeps roads slick and visibility reduced.
Across Lane County, drivers should expect wet travel on Interstate 5, Beltline Highway, and surface streets through Sunday. Plan extra time during periods of heavier rain, especially during early-morning and evening travel windows. Ponding is possible on poorly drained roads, though widespread flooding is not expected.
Rain continues into Monday before tapering later in the day. As colder air filters in, overnight lows dip toward the mid-30s by Monday night. While snow levels stay well above valley floors for now, colder mornings could create slick spots on bridges and elevated roadways. Keep an eye out for patchy fog or mist during early commutes.
Looking ahead, rain chances return Tuesday, and snow levels lower toward 2,700 feet. That keeps snow confined to the Cascades, but it signals a deeper winter pattern taking hold across Oregon. By midweek, nights remain cold, and damp conditions linger.
Weather alerts may expand if colder air arrives faster than expected.
