Central Oregon is slated to see more sunny, clear weather this week, as temperatures are expected to stay in the mid-80s with plenty of cloud-free blue skies.
Douglas Weber, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Pendleton, said skies will be clear all week with just the possibility of some breezy conditions on Wednesday or Thursday.
“It looks like all it will do is pick up some winds,” Weber said. “There won’t be any … chance of precipitation.”
He said there’s a slight possibility that a thunderstorm could roll through next Monday, but until then the weather should be dry and clear.
Temperatures today are expected to reach 82 degrees before dropping overnight to the mid-40s.
On Tuesday, the area may warm up a bit to about 85 degrees, while nighttime temperatures are expected to approach 50 degrees.
Wednesday and Thursday will see more of the same, with daytime temperatures expected to reach between 83 and 85 degrees before cooling down in the evening to the mid- to high 40s.
And the weekend forecast is for more of the same, with Friday and Saturday’s temperatures expected to reach between 84 and 86 degrees with evening temperatures dropping to around 50 degrees.
“Pretty much Bend will never have greater than 15 percent sky coverage, so it’s mostly clear this week,” Weber said.
