Eugene falls on the warm side

Eugene sits in the higher terrain of western Oregon, and on either side of the Cascades, it can be cool and damp along the coast, and hot and dry inland from the Cascades, and that’s how it looked to go over the last couple of days. So what did Eugene end up representing? Inland Oregon, it seems, as high temperatures exceeded any forecast, hitting 90 on Sunday an the upper 80s on Monday. On the plus side, because it was so dry, low temperatures were cool and comfortable. Temperatures sunk a lot of forecasts, and Accuweather came out on top with the warmest forecast.
Actuals: Sunday – High 90, Low 57
Monday – High 87, Low 49

Grade: C-F

Eugene, Oregon

Hello, happy forecast day, and happy game day for you Oregon Ducks fans out there. We will get through this forecast that covers the 48 hours after the game. I have no predictions for today!

AT 1254PM, PT, Eugene was reporting a temperature of 77 degrees with mostly cloud skies. Temperatures were certainly warm, but they split the difference between the inland portion of the state, which was sweltering and seeing heat and red flag advisories, and the coast, which has been smothered in the marine layer all day to the is point. Expect temperatures to continue to climb through the day, even if they aren’t going to climb to the levels seen east of the Cascades.
A weak wave moving into western Canada will continue to draw some of the moisture off the north Pacific, but the preceding ridge will encourage the heat inland to continue. The dichotomy will mean continued low clouds along the coast in the morning into the early afternoon, preventing Eugene from getting to be unbearable.
