Scattered showers expected on Sunday

Happy Sunday, Central Oregon!

After a string of hot, dry conditions on the High Desert, more showers are likely headed our way today.

The precipitation could begin as early as 8 a.m., and our chance for showers lasts all day. However, it decreases as Sunday rolls on.

We have between a 50%-70% chance to see scattered showers in the morning and early afternoon, with about a 20%-40% chance to see showers in the evening.

Thunderstorms may also be added to the mix during periods of the day, mainly during the afternoon, and briefly during evening hours.

Forecast highs will mostly be in the 60s, with La Pine topping out at 59 degrees.

We have a slight chance at seeing some showers on Monday as well, but then mostly clear skies and a warm up is on the way.

Temperatures are expected to increase every day over the next week at least, with the hottest day falling on the Fourth of July, reaching the low 80s.
