Dry Thursday with mild highs, pattern changes Friday

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - Dry conditions continue Thursday under the ridge of high pressure. There is a chance for patchy freezing fog this morning.

There will be a mix of sunshine and clouds today with afternoon highs in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Clouds build overnight with temperatures dropping into the 20s across the region.

Friday will be partly to mostly cloudy across the region with highs in the low 50s. That also marks a shift in our weather pattern as snow returns to the Cascades late Friday and continues into early Saturday morning.

Valentine’s Day brings periods of rain and snow to the High Desert. Little to no accumulation expected, but showers could create slick roads. Highs stay in the mid to upper 40s through the weekend.

Sunday offers a brief break with dry, cloudy conditions before more rain and snow move in on President’s Day.

An on and off wet pattern continues into early next week, with highs falling back into the low to mid 40s on Monday.
