Bend, Oregon is set to enjoy a stretch of pleasant weather as the week comes to a close. Thursday brings mostly sunny skies with temperatures reaching the low to mid-70s, providing a perfect opportunity for families to enjoy outdoor activities.

Weekend Weather Outlook

Friday will see similar temperatures, though clouds will begin to increase in the evening as mountain showers approach. These showers are expected to remain confined to the mountainous regions, sparing the high desert areas east of the Cascades from significant rainfall.

Saturday morning will start off with mostly cloudy skies, but sunshine is expected to return gradually throughout the day. A deep area of low pressure will bring cooler temperatures to Central Oregon, with highs only reaching the upper 50s and low 60s.

By Sunday, temperatures will rise by about 10 degrees, bringing back the quiet and mild conditions that residents have been enjoying. However, clouds will increase again by Monday, accompanied by a slight chance of light rain. While a few showers may linger into Tuesday and Wednesday, the chances of significant rainfall remain low, offering little relief to the ongoing drought conditions.

For those looking to stay informed about the latest weather developments, downloading the Local Alert Weather App is recommended. The app provides access to live radar and urgent weather alerts, ensuring that residents are always prepared for any changes in weather conditions.
