Advisory in effect for southern and central Oregon. morning Tue Mar 10th, 2026 Oregon forecast.

Good morning. Oregon. I'm Michael Mosby. Step outside right now and you're feeling 38 degrees. That's barely a degree warmer than overnight. Winter's hanging on with both hands — spring's just 11 days out, but someone forgot to tell the weather. A cold front is sliding down from the north, bringing scattered showers and a temperature drop as we push into tonight. The Willamette Valley sits in a bit of a rain shadow, so you'll dodge the worst of it. But the Coast Range and Cascades? They're catching everything. Portland and the Willamette Valley see rain showers through the afternoon with highs near 49 degrees. Tonight drops to 34 degrees. And here's where it gets interesting — rain could mix with snow after 2 A.M. As that cold air settles in. Southern Willamette Valley follows the same script, with a brief rain chance around 9 A.M. and highs near 49 degrees before cooling to 33 degrees overnight. Central Oregon stays mostly dry. Mostly sunny skies with a high near 44 degrees. Tonight drops to 24 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Cold air wins out there. The Cascades are under a Winter Weather Advisory through Tuesday afternoon. Snow's piling up at pass level — 4 to 10 inches expected with gusty winds to 40 miles an hour. If you're heading over the mountains, roads will be slick. Not the day to test your tires. Looking ahead. Tuesday brings more rain and snow showers statewide. Wednesday ramps up significantly — rain totals could hit 1 to 2 inches in the valleys, with heavy snow continuing in the mountains. The wet pattern holds through the weekend with temperatures in the low to mid 50s. Charge your phone and grab that rain jacket. See you this afternoon.

Advisory in effect. morning Mon Mar 9th, 2026 Oregon forecast.

Good afternoon. Oregon. I'm Matt Mullins. Step outside right now and you'll feel that late-winter chill hanging on. Currently 50 degrees under gray skies. But here's what's about to change. A cold front is sliding through. And it's bringing rain and a temperature drop. The Willamette Valley sees rain kicking in around noon. By this afternoon, you've got an 80 percent chance of showers with highs reaching 55 degrees before falling. West-southwest winds gust to 22 miles an hour — you'll feel that bite. Down in the Southern Willamette Valley, you stay mostly dry until after 2 P.M. That's when rain arrives, though chances stay lower at 40 percent. You top out at 58 degrees with lighter winds around 6 miles an hour. Now head east to Central Oregon. And it's a completely different day. Mostly sunny skies with highs near 58 degrees. West winds gust to 21, but you stay dry all day. Tonight, the cold air really settles in. The valley drops to 37 degrees with lingering rain showers likely through 9 P.M. Southern areas fall to 36. But Central Oregon? You plunge to 29 under mostly clear skies — then temperatures actually rise overnight to 34 as winds shift southwest. Here's your week ahead. Monday brings showers and thunderstorms to the valley — 100 percent chance with highs near 48. Snow mixes in Monday night as temps drop to 34. Tuesday stays unsettled with rain and snow showers, highs near 49. Mid-week turns active. Rain and snow Wednesday, heavy rain Thursday, then rain continues Friday. Highs hold in the low to mid-50s. By next weekend, rain chances ease to 50 percent Saturday with highs near 53. One more thing — clocks spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we're gaining daylight. Spring equinox is just 12 days away. See you this evening.

Good morning. Oregon. I'm Michael Nally. Step outside right now and you're feeling 46 degrees under clear skies. A cold front barrels statewide today, bringing rain and a temperature crash. The Willamette Valley gets hit first. Rain moves in around 8 A.M., peaking by mid-afternoon with an 80 percent chance. High of 55 degrees before temps fall to 53 by afternoon. Southwest winds 6 to 10 miles an hour, gusting to 22. Down in the Southern Willamette Valley, you stay drier longer. Rain holds off until around 2 P.M., then continues into midnight. High near 57 degrees. Central Oregon? Completely different day. Sunny skies, high of 58 degrees. Southwest winds 7 to 10 miles an hour with gusts to 21. Tonight drops to 29 degrees under mostly clear skies. Tonight across the Willamette Valley, rain continues before tapering to showers. Low around 37 degrees, though temps rise to 39 overnight as warmer air moves in. Monday brings the real drama. Showers and thunderstorms hit the Willamette Valley with near certainty. High of 48 degrees. Monday night, cold air plunges in and snow levels crash to around 1,500 feet. Rain and snow showers likely, with lows dropping to 34 degrees. Tuesday stays active with rain and snow showers mixing through the morning before transitioning to rain by afternoon. High near 49 degrees. The week ahead stays wet. Wednesday through Friday brings multiple rounds of rain, with snow mixing in at higher elevations. Highs hold in the low to mid-50s. Saturday offers a brief break with just a chance of rain. One more thing — clocks spring forward one hour tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we gain daylight. Sunrise tomorrow at 7:37 A.M., sunset at 7:08 P.M. See you this afternoon.

Good evening. Oregon. I'm Michael Nally. That gray sky overhead? It's just the opening act. We're sitting at 58 degrees across the Willamette Valley right now—about 23 degrees warmer than usual for early March. But don't get too comfortable. A weak front slides in tomorrow, setting the stage for Monday's main event: a crash in snow levels all the way down to 1,000 feet. Rain returns tonight, becoming steady by 6 P.M. In Portland. Down in the Southern Valley, showers arrive earlier, closer to 1 P.M. Today's pleasant warmth near 57 takes a hard tumble into the 30s by Sunday night. That sets up a wild swing for Monday—rain showers in the valleys, but snow mixing in after dark. If you're heading east over the passes, chain up early. The Cascades are about to get hammered, with 8 to 14 inches piling up by Tuesday. Central Oregon gets the best deal today. Bend hits 59 degrees under mostly sunny skies. But even there, the chill returns Monday with overnight lows near 23. Looking ahead. Sunday brings widespread rain and falling temperatures. Monday and Tuesday feature that dramatic drop—snow levels near 1,500 feet mean the mountains get pounded while the valleys see flurries. We rebound slightly by midweek, but another round of rain and mountain snow moves in before we dry out by Friday. Spring is technically two weeks away, but winter is demanding an encore. Grab that umbrella today. And keep the shovel within reach. See you tomorrow.

Good morning. Oregon. I'm Aaron Jolly. That drizzle you're feeling? It's been with us since overnight, dumping about a tenth of an inch so far. A weak front is limping through. And it's making things feel raw out there. Down in the Willamette Valley, rain sticks around all day. Here comes 50 degrees with another quarter to half inch of rainfall. Light south winds around 7 miles an hour keep things calm. Tonight, the rain finally tapers off after midnight. And lows hold near 47. The Southern Willamette Valley gets off easier — just a 60 percent chance of rain and highs at 51. Patchy fog rolls in tonight as skies clear. Lows drop to 42. Central Oregon dodges most of the wet stuff. A slight chance of mixed rain and snow before 7 A.M., then mostly cloudy skies take over. Highs reach 50, but temperatures slide back to 48 by afternoon. Tonight stays mostly cloudy with lows at 36. For the weekend. Saturday brings a welcome warmup. The Willamette Valley hits 59 degrees with mostly cloudy skies and just a chance of showers. Central Oregon jumps to 61 under mostly sunny skies — perfect weather for getting outside if you ask me. Sunday flips the script. Rain returns statewide with highs in the mid 50s. Then Monday through Thursday brings repeated rounds of rain. The Willamette Valley takes the heaviest amounts. Central Oregon might see some snow mixed in midweek as colder air works in. If you're heading out this morning, that drizzle makes it feel colder than it's. Layer up. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Oregon. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and that damp 48 degrees tells you everything. Classic early March — overcast, jacket weather. And showers lurking just around the corner. In the next 24 hours. The Willamette Valley climbs to 52 degrees this afternoon before temperatures start their slide. Scattered showers pop up before 5 P.M., then rain returns after 8 P.M. Tonight. Lows settle around 44 degrees. Down in the Southern Valley, you're at 49 today with rain chances, dropping to 41 tonight with more widespread showers. Now head east to Central Oregon. Completely different world. Sunny skies and 45 degrees, but northwest winds gust to 21 miles an hour. Tonight plunges to 28 with a chance of mixed rain and snow after 4 A.M. The mountains are getting hammered. Winter Weather Advisories stay up for the Northern Blue Mountains until 10 P.M. — 6 to 10 inches of snow and gusts to 35. Wind Advisories run until 7 P.M. For the foothills and north central Oregon, where gusts could hit 50 miles an hour. Not the day for a scenic drive up there. Here's your week ahead. Friday brings rain statewide — valley highs around 52. Central Oregon climbs to 50. Saturday offers a break with mostly sunny skies and 61 degrees in the Southern Valley. Sunday through Tuesday, scattered showers return. The twist? Cold air pushes south late Monday into Tuesday, bringing a chance for lowland snow Tuesday morning. The odds are low — 30 to 45 percent for a rain-snow mix — but if you're in the Portland-Vancouver metro, keep an eye on it. For those mountain drives tonight. Conditions are rough up there. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Oregon. I'm Aaron Jolly. That drizzle you heard overnight was just the opening act. We picked up barely a tenth of an inch, but the sky's reloading for round two. In the next 24 hours. Right now we're sitting at 46 degrees under thick gray clouds. The Willamette Valley sees rain showers developing today. Highs near 51. Tonight stays mild at 44, but here's your timing. Rain ramps up hard by 4 A.M. Friday. Friday stays wet with another quarter inch coming down. Down in Eugene, you top out near 48 today. Rain peaks late morning around 11 A.M. Tonight brings steady rain with lows near 39. Now cross the Cascades and it's a completely different world. Central Oregon wakes up to mostly sunny skies. Highs near 45 with northwest winds gusting to 22 miles an hour. Tonight you crash to 28 degrees with a slight chance of mixed precipitation toward dawn. Here's what you need to know about the alerts. A Winter Weather Advisory is active for the Northern Blue Mountains until 10 P.M. Tonight. Six to 10 inches of snow expected with gusts hitting 35 miles an hour. Travel will be rough. A Wind Advisory also covers the Blue Mountain foothills and North Central Oregon from 7 A.M. To 7 P.M. Gusts up to 50 miles an hour. Your five-day outlook. Saturday brings relief. Highs climb to near 60 degrees with partly sunny skies. Best day for outdoor plans. Rain returns Sunday and lingers into early next week. By Tuesday, colder air arrives. We could see a rain-snow mix even in the valley lowlands. Tonight's full moon will fight those clouds, but worth a glance if you catch a break. We're gaining over 3 minutes of daylight each day now. Spring equinox is just two weeks away. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Oregon. I'm Aaron Jolly. That gray ceiling overhead? it's not going anywhere. You stepped out this morning to 48 degrees under thick clouds. And the atmosphere has barely budged. A light rain has been falling overnight. And here's the thing. It's sticking around all day. In the next 24 hours. The Willamette Valley stays locked in the wet pattern. Rain peaks around 10 A.M. With an 80 percent chance. Highs crawl to 49 degrees. Tonight brings more rain and lows near 43. Don't expect a break tomorrow either. Friday looks just as soggy with a high near 51. Down in the Southern Willamette Valley. Eugene and surrounding areas see a similar story. Rain showers are likely through the day, with a high near 48. Lows tonight dip to around 39. The same wet theme continues Friday. Head east over the Cascades and it's a different world entirely. Central Oregon wakes up to partly cloudy skies and a high near 44 degrees. It's mostly sunny today. Just a slight chance of snow overnight, with lows dropping to 28. That's a 27 degrees temperature gap from the valley floor to the high desert. If you're traveling the passes, take note. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 4 A.M. For the Cascades above 4000 feet. Santiam and Willamette Passes could see another 3 to 6 inches of snow. Gusty winds to 35 miles an hour will make visibility tricky at times. Looking ahead, high pressure builds this weekend. Saturday brings a brief dry spell with highs in the upper 50s to near 61 degrees in the southern valley. But don't get too comfortable. Rain returns Sunday and continues into early next week. By Tuesday, cold air filters south. And there's even a chance for a rain-snow mix down to the valley floor. We'll keep watching that. One more thing. Tonight's full moon won't have much competition from clouds, especially east of the Cascades. Worth a glance if skies break. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Oregon. I'm Aaron Jolly. That light drizzle hitting your windshield right now? It's just the opening act. A cold front is pushing through the state. And behind it comes the real show. We're looking at a 15 to 25 percent chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. Any storm that fires up could bring brief heavy downpours, gusty winds. And even small hail. In the next 24 hours. In the Willamette Valley, you'll hit a high of 54 degrees. The best chance for thunder is between 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. South in the Eugene area, expect a slightly cooler 49 degrees with the same storm threat. You'll notice the feels-like temperature dropping to 41 degrees by mid-morning. Head over the Cascades to Central Oregon and the scene shifts. Rain transitions to snow above 4500 feet today. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 10 P.M. For the east slopes. We're expecting 6 to 10 inches of snow up high, with winds gusting to 29 miles an hour. If you're traveling over Santiam or Willamette Pass, check conditions first and carry chains. Tonight, valley lows dip to 42 degrees, while Central Oregon falls to 29. Rain showers continue. And here's something — tonight's full moon will be playing hide-and-seek behind those clouds. Thursday keeps the rain showers around with highs near 50. Friday stays wet too. But the weekend? Saturday looks like our driest day, with highs climbing to near 60 degrees in the southern valley. Rain returns Sunday and lingers into early next week. We're gaining over three minutes of daylight today. Spring equinox is just two weeks away. Charge your phone before you head out — that wind can drain a battery in no time. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Oregon. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel 49 degrees under gray skies. Enjoy the quiet. Because there's a front gathering offshore. And it's coming for us. In the next 24 hours. An upper level trough is sliding in from the Pacific. That's the engine behind everything today. Your morning stays dry. Use it. Run errands, walk the dog, do whatever needs doing outside. Because after noon, rain starts falling across the Willamette Valley. Highs reach 58 degrees before the front pushes through tonight with steady rain and gusts to 18 miles an hour. Lows settle near 48 degrees. Head south into the southern Willamette Valley and you buy yourself a little more time. Just a slight chance of rain mid afternoon, high of 57 degrees. But by 7 P.M., rain arrives and falls heavy at times. Now swing east into Central Oregon. You folks have the best seat in the house today. Mostly cloudy, 57 degrees. And bone dry until after 1 A.M. Then rain creeps in and temperatures slide to 38 degrees. Wednesday is where things get interesting. Colder air aloft destabilizes everything. Showers and thunderstorms pop statewide. Valley highs drop into the low 50s. Central Oregon falls to 45 degrees with gusts hitting 26 miles an hour. Cascade pass travelers, listen up. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 4 A.M. Wednesday and runs through 10 P.M. Six to eleven inches of snow above 4500 feet. Santiam and Willamette Passes will get buried. Looking ahead, rain chances stick around through the weekend. Saturday offers the best window to dry out. Then another system rolls in Monday. One more thing worth smiling about. We're gaining over three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just two weeks out. I'll be watching that Wednesday storm all night. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. A cut-off low spinning off the Pacific is sliding north along the California coast today. Think of it like a storm passing just south of us — we catch the edge, but only if you're in the southern half of the state. In the next 24 hours. Right now, you're looking at 39 degrees under mostly clear skies. Patchy frost may form by dawn as we dip to 36 degrees. In the Willamette Valley, clouds roll in through the morning. Highs reach 55 degrees. Rain holds off until after midnight, when a chance of showers sneaks in. Lows drop to 42 degrees. Push south to the Southern Willamette Valley and you're in the bull's-eye. Rain becomes likely this afternoon and sticks around through tonight. Highs near 50 degrees. Lows hold at 42 degrees. Sunday looks even wetter here with rain likely and highs near 57 degrees. Over in Central Oregon, mostly cloudy skies give way to a chance of rain after 1 P.M. Highs climb to 55 degrees. Showers continue tonight with lows around 37 degrees. Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Monday delivers a reprieve. High pressure builds in with partly sunny skies and highs near 59 degrees in the valley. Enjoy it.

Several inches possible at Santiam and Willamette Passes. We're gaining over three minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 6:52 A.M., sunset at 5:57 P.M. Spring equinox now just three weeks away. If you're planning outdoor projects. Monday's your window before the midweek storm arrives. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oregon Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th. Step outside right now and you're looking at 37 degrees under that flat gray sky. Your windshield? Coated in frost. Classic late-February morning across Oregon. Down in the Willamette Valley, overnight lows hit 35 degrees. That frost sticks around until about 9 A.M. Then the sun breaks through and pushes you to 53 degrees this afternoon. Tonight drops back to 35 with patchy frost returning. Push south to the Southern Willamette Valley and it's a colder start — 31 degrees with widespread frost and patchy fog. That fog clears by 10 A.M., giving way to partly sunny skies and a high near 52. Frost comes back tonight with lows at 32. Now head east to Central Oregon where you're waking up to a crisp 24 degrees under mostly clear skies. Partly sunny today with a high near 50. Winds stay gentle out of the southwest around 6 miles an hour. Tonight dips to 29 under mostly cloudy skies. Quick heads up for South Coast listeners. The Coquille River is in minor flood stage near Coquille. That warning holds through Friday afternoon. Your week ahead looks pretty sweet. Dry and mild through Friday with highs in the low to mid-50s. Saturday brings a chance of rain, especially down south. Then Monday and Tuesday? Gorgeous. Sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees. Rain returns Wednesday. One last thing. We're gaining over three minutes of daylight every single day now. Spring equinox is just three weeks out. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oregon Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. That overnight drizzle left us with barely a tenth of an inch. Now you're stepping out to clear skies and 38 degrees. Feels calm. Almost spring-like. Don't be fooled. Here in the Willamette Valley, a brief rain chance lingers around 3 A.M. Then we climb to 49 degrees by 1 P.M. Winds shift from south-southwest to west-southwest around noon. Tonight's when things get interesting. Temperatures crash to 36 degrees by 2 A.M. Frost develops after that as skies clear completely. Down in the Southern Willamette Valley, same rain chance around 3 A.M. with scattered showers possible. You'll hit 50 degrees around 2 P.M. Then the cold arrives hard. Widespread frost and patchy fog develop after midnight. Lows drop to 32 degrees by 2 A.M. — right at freezing. Winds shift from north to east-northeast around 8 P.M. Push east over the Cascades into Central Oregon and it's a different story. Rain possible around 3 A.M. Then partly sunny with a high of 46 degrees around 3 P.M. But tonight? The cold front really bites. Lows plunge to 25 degrees by 3 A.M. Winds flip from south to north around 7 A.M. Around 10 A.M., it'll feel like 33 degrees even though you're sitting at 38. Quick heads up for southern Oregon. A Flood Warning continues for the Coquille River in Coos County until late tomorrow morning. Minor flooding is occurring. A Flood Advisory runs for the Illinois Valley in Josephine County until 10 A.M. Here's your week ahead. High pressure builds in and we warm up nicely. Thursday brings low 50s. Friday climbs to mid-50s. By Sunday and Monday, we're pushing 57 to 58 degrees. Stays dry through Friday. Rain returns Saturday, mainly central and southern Oregon. Tonight's frost could catch gardens off guard. Cover those sensitive plants before bed. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oregon Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th. Step outside and you'll feel it. That damp, heavy air that clings to your jacket and turns every sidewalk into a mirror. We've already picked up eight-tenths of an inch of rain in the last day, with another quarter to half-inch on the way. Classic late-winter Oregon — where the sky forgets how to stop. An atmospheric river is parked over us. And it's not done yet. Rain keeps coming through tonight. But here's the twist. While the valleys stay soggy, the mountains are getting interesting. A Winter Weather Advisory runs until 10 A.M for the Upper Hood River Valley above 1,000 feet. Slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses, with a trace to an inch of slushy snow possible. Not enough to build a snowman, but just enough to make your commute feel like a video game set to hard mode. Down in the Willamette Valley, the rain peaks around 4 A.M with steady downpours. Highs struggle to 49 degrees by 3 P.M, then we drop fast to 38 overnight. Tomorrow brings a slight break — highs near 52 with just a 40 percent chance of lingering showers. But frost creeps in by Wednesday night, with lows dipping to 35. Head south and you're getting the worst of it. Another half-inch to three-quarters adds to the puddles. Highs reach 53, but it'll feel cooler with those steady showers. By Wednesday, things dry out, but widespread frost takes over. Lows plummet to 30 degrees, so cover those tender plants tonight. Now push east to Central Oregon. Rain turns to a wintry mix overnight, with snow mixing in after midnight. Winds crank up to 9 miles an hour, gusting to 21. That'll make it feel like 32 degrees by early Wednesday morning. We finally dry out late Wednesday as high pressure builds in. Sunshine returns Thursday and Friday, with highs climbing into the mid-50s by the weekend. But frost becomes the new overnight norm, especially in the valleys, where temps dip below freezing Thursday and Friday mornings. One bright spot? We're gaining daylight fast. Sunrise at 6:59 A.M, sunset at 5:51 P.M. That's nearly 11 hours of daylight. And every extra minute feels like a win right about now. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oregon Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. If you stepped outside this morning and felt like you were swimming to your car.. Yeah, that's about right. We've already soaked up four-tenths of an inch in the last 24 hours. But that was just the warm-up act. A Pineapple Express atmospheric river is parked right over us. And it's about to open the floodgates. The Willamette Valley is ground zero. Rain falls nonstop from now through 3 A.M. Tuesday, peaking hard around 6 A.M. You're looking at one to two inches of new rain by tomorrow morning. Southern Willamette Valley gets three-quarters to one inch. Highs today hit the upper 40s to low 50s, but here's the weird part — temperatures actually fall through the afternoon. You'll drop from near 50 at noon to the mid-40s by evening. Winds shift from south-southwest to west-southwest around 8 A.M., but they stay light at 5 miles an hour. Push east over the Cascades into Central Oregon. You'll see light rain likely today, 60% chance, with gusty south winds 10 to 13 miles an hour. Highs climb to 52 degrees around 1 P.M., then crash to 38 by tonight. The big change comes after midnight — rain transitions to a rain-snow mix, with snow levels dropping to around 3,000 feet. If you're heading over the passes, expect slushy roads by Tuesday morning. Here's your heads-up for the week. Tuesday brings more rain, though lighter. Highs rebound to the low 50s in the valleys. By Wednesday, we finally start drying out. Thursday and Friday look dry and seasonable, mid-50s both days. The weekend? Mostly sunny and 53 degrees by Sunday. Yes, sunshine returns. Keep the rain gear handy and watch for ponding on roads. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Oregon Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Alright folks, we've got a split-screen situation today. The Willamette Valley is drowning while Central Oregon gets a brief flirt with spring before the rain crashes the party. And those winds from last night? Still making a scene. First, the drama. Southern Oregon Coast and Curry County are under a High Wind Warning until 10 A.M. — gusts hitting 65 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that'll turn your trash cans into tumbleweeds. Secure anything loose before you leave the house. The valleys. If you're in Portland or Eugene, today is a full-on soak. Steady rain from 3 A.M. Through tonight, peaking around 8 A.M. In the Willamette Valley and 6 A.M. Down south. Highs barely scrape 52 degrees. Tonight? Another half-inch to three-quarters of an inch of rain. By Monday, we're looking at another 1 to 2 inches through Tuesday. That's flood watch territory, especially in the Coast Range where snowmelt adds to the mess. Over in Central Oregon, you wake up at 33 degrees but climb to 50 by 3 P.M. — a 27 degrees-degree jump. Catch? Winds gusting to 20 miles an hour. And rain mixing with snow at higher elevations by afternoon. But here's the good news: you dry out faster. By Wednesday, you're looking at mostly sunny skies. Looking at the week ahead. Monday and Tuesday are the wettest days — 1 to 2 inches in the valleys, more along the coast. Wednesday starts to improve. By Thursday and Friday, we're looking at partly sunny skies and highs in the low 50s. Next weekend might actually bring sunshine that sticks around. Quick favor: if this helps you plan your week, share it with a friend who could use a heads-up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Oregon Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. Oregon is running two completely different weekends right now. The valley is soaking wet. Central Oregon is flirting with snow. Classic. Let's start in the Willamette Valley. You're waking up to 37 degrees with light east winds. Rain is likely today. Seven in ten chances, so grab that umbrella before you even think about brunch. Tonight stays damp with lows in the mid 30s. Tomorrow nudges up near 40, but showers aren't going anywhere. Head south toward Eugene and the story gets even wetter. Also 37 degrees, southeast winds around 6 miles an hour. Rain chances climb to eight in ten. If you've got outdoor plans, have a backup. Tonight holds near 35. Tomorrow pushes 41, still showery. Now drive east over the Cascades into Central Oregon. Whole different planet. Just 27 degrees with south winds at 7 miles an hour. There's about a coin flip chance of snow, and flurries could dust the higher elevations. Tonight drops into the low 20s. That's the kind of cold that reminds your windshield who's boss. Tomorrow warms slightly to 30 with lingering flurries possible. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Rain keeps hammering the valleys through Monday, then eases Tuesday. Central Oregon stays chilly with scattered snow showers. By midweek, a ridge builds in. Drier skies, temperatures climbing back toward normal. You'll want to enjoy that break while it lasts. Quick note on daylight. Sunrise at 6:32 this morning, sunset at 5:20. We're gaining nearly three minutes a day. Air quality sits at moderate, so sensitive groups might want to take it easy outside. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a friend. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay dry out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
