Flood Warning | Oregon Weather

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.
