Rain and winds continue
Happy Sunday, Central Oregon!
The massive weather system or "bomb cyclone," off the coast is bringing rain and plenty of wind to our area today and will continue to do so for the next few days.
Rain has tapered off mostly for the rest of the evening, but strong sustained winds around 15-20 mph will stick with us at least until Tuesday. We saw several strong gusts today and a 47 mph gust was reported at the Bend Municipal Airport.
The system has not influenced our temperatures that much, as our highs today topped out in the mid 50s, which is only about five degrees below Redmond's seasonal average. We will continue to see highs in the mid to upper 50s until Wednesday, when we start a brief warmup that brings us almost back to 70 degrees on Thursday.
Wednesday is also when our chance for rain drops significantly, and things are looking clearer for next weekend and Halloween.
