Oregon – A cold, crisp start has left parts of Eugene near freezing this morning, with patchy frost clinging to rooftops and fields just after sunrise. Roads look dry now, but conditions will shift fast as clouds thicken and rain moves in by midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Portland, rain develops through the day with a 90% chance of precipitation and totals between a tenth and a quarter inch. Highs reach near 61°F, but steady rainfall will create slick roads across I-5 and Beltline Highway by the afternoon commute.
Springfield and surrounding Lane County communities will see similar conditions, with wet pavement and reduced visibility during heavier bursts. Drivers should slow down and increase following distance as rain intensity picks up later today…
