Sunshine With a Spring Breeze

We are in for a beautiful stretch of High Desert weather. If you’re planning your Friday evening or looking ahead to Saturday, here is the quick breakdown for the tri-county area.

Rest of Today

It is a "sunglasses and light jacket" kind of afternoon. We have wall-to-wall sunshine, but the wind is definitely making its presence felt.

• Highs: Lower to mid 70s (Madras/Redmond/Prineville) and 60s for the higher elevations (Sisters/Sunriver).
• The Breeze: West winds are gusting up to 30 mph, so keep an eye on any loose patio gear.

Tonight

Expect a clear, crisp night. Winds will settle down after sunset.

• Lows: Dropping into the upper 30s and low 40s.

Saturday: Summer Vibes Arrive

Tomorrow is the star of the weekend. The wind dies down, and the temperature takes a significant jump.

• The Forecast: Sunny in the morning with a few clouds moving in by afternoon.
• Highs: Pushing into the lower to mid 80s.
• Plan: It’s a perfect day for the trails or a dog walk, just make sure to stay hydrated as that first taste of 80-degree heat can catch you off guard!

Weekend Snapshot

Forecaster Note: Saturday will feel much warmer than today due to the lighter winds and that 10-degree temperature jump. Enjoy the sun!
