Oregon — A 69 degree November warmup is giving Pendleton residents a brief taste of spring before rain returns and temperatures tumble toward the 30s this weekend.
The changing weather could bring wet pavement, chilly mornings and another round of showers by Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Pendleton, temperatures will reach approximately 69 degrees on Veterans Day, followed by another mild afternoon Thursday.
However, Friday marks the beginning of a wetter pattern across northeastern Oregon.
Warm November afternoons before Friday's rain Pendleton's latest observations showed fog and temperatures near 41 degrees early Wednesday, with visibility reduced to approximately one quarter mile at Eastern Oregon Regional Airport.
Conditions are expected to improve as partly sunny skies develop and temperatures climb toward 69 degrees.
Thursday brings another pleasant afternoon, with highs near 66 degrees and relatively calm winds.
Residents hoping to finish yard cleanup, outdoor maintenance or seasonal preparations may want to take advantage of the dry weather.
By Friday, clouds increase as another weather system approaches the Pacific Northwest.
The National Weather Service places Pendleton's afternoon shower probability at 30%, with highs again approaching 69 degrees.
Rain chances increase to 50% Friday night before decreasing later. Temperatures fall toward 40 degrees.
Weekend temperatures fall as another wet pattern develops Saturday offers a temporary break from the rain.
Partly sunny skies are expected, although temperatures reach only 61 degrees, approximately eight degrees cooler than Friday.
Saturday night brings another noticeable drop, with lows around 37 degrees.
That represents a 32 degree difference between Friday afternoon's high and Saturday night's low.
While freezing temperatures are not currently forecast for Saturday night, the colder air signals a seasonal transition.
Sunday brings another chance of showers, with highs near 61 degrees.
By Monday, rain becomes more likely as temperatures fall further, reaching only 55 degrees.
Wet roads could affect travel along Interstate 84 and nearby highways if showers develop.
Drivers should watch for changing visibility and slick pavement, especially during colder morning periods.
