Happy Hump Day, Central Oregon.  Today should bring little change to the current conditions.  You can expect dry and clear conditions  and even some sunny skies with temperatures near average for this time of year in the middle to upper 40s.   This does appear to be the last clear day before the high pressure

The freezing fog is breaking up, the mercury is rising above the freezing mark today as sunny skies get us to near normal temperatures.  The overnight lows will bottom out in the 20s tonight, with some possible freezing fog returning. The high pressure responsible for the stagnant air in the region is shifting east, opening

A fine Tuesday to you, Central Oregon. This morning we have some patchy freezing fog that should begin clearing just before the midday. Then we expect sunny conditions to prevail as the afternoon rolls on.  High Pressure overhead continues to keep us clear with chilly nights, however we also see a lack of wind and

The region has been and will continue to be under the influence of high pressure for the next couple of days.  The main result of this persistent pattern has been the clear skies, cold nights, and chilly afternoons. Unfortunately, there is also a lack of wind and sinking air that is generating poor air quality.

Happy Monday.  A frosty morning should give way to a clear day today.  A ridge of high pressure is moving over the PacNW, which is responsible for our current calm conditions and this pattern should persist for at least the next several days.  The main concern will be the potential for fog and freezing fog

Happy Sunday! It’s hard to believe November will be over in less than a week. Today was another sunny and clear day with highs reaching the 40s.  The air quality has been impacted by some pile burns in some areas. Cities including Bend, Sunriver, La Pine and Prineville were in the moderate category today.  It

Happy Saturday Central Oregon! We’re getting more sunshine this afternoon but temperatures will be on the cooler side. The highs today will range from the upper 30s to low 40s across their region.  Prepare for another chilly night as temperatures are expected to drop into the teens. Tomorrow we can expect similar temperatures to today.

Plenty of sunshine this afternoon will not be potent enough for us to warm above normal. Highs will only reach the low 40s today under sunny skies, but a cold start and a pocket of cold air remains. Normal highs for late November should be in the middle 40s, so not too much colder than

The rest of the long holiday weekend will be defined by the morning low temperatures.  The area will experience mostly middle to upper teens during the pre-dawn hours both Saturday and Sunday. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the low to middle 40s. Not much in the way of precipitation is expected for the next

Happy Friday, friends! Expect patchy freezing fog before 2pm.  After that, conditions should clear a bit and we may even see some clear skies later in the day.  Temperatures will be chilly though, below seasonal averages. A cold and dry pattern takes hold over the PacNW today through the holiday weekend as low pressure to

An area of low pressure to our south and east is in just the right spot to allow a dry flow of air from the northeast to enter Oregon. This pool of cold air from Canada will keep our temperatures below normal until Sunday.  The low pulls away and that will open the door for

Happy Turkey Day to you!  This crisp day should bring mostly cloudy skies and below average temperatures.  This trend will be with us all the way through the weekend so its probably time to break out the winter coats! Yesterday’s relatively weak cold front passage provided some very light rainfall and a resulting northerly air

The pattern will be quiet and dry for the next several days as high pressure overtakes the region. The normal high temperatures for Central Oregon are in the middle 40s this time of year, so the upper 30s is a bit on the crisp side for Thanksgiving.  Of note is the overnight low temperatures, they

Happy Wednesday! Expect the possibility of some light showers, primarily before noon, today.  After that, we are in for a breezy and chilly day.  The skies should also gradually clear throughout the day leaving us with the potential for a chilly night tonight and Thanksgiving holiday! Expected showers are the result of a cold front

The quiet, dry, and mild pattern will yield to a cold front early Wednesday. Showers are expected to develop as the front crosses the region, but with very little moisture to work with.  The rainfall amounts will generally be less than a tenth of an inch, and the chance for mountain snow is very low.
