Residents of Bend and the surrounding High Desert should prepare for a sharp drop in temperature tonight, with overnight lows expected to fall into the mid‑20s across much of the area. The coldest spots, including La Pine, could see temperatures dip into the teens, so families are urged to bundle up and protect sensitive plants and exposed outdoor plumbing.
Saturday brings a welcome warm‑up
Saturday’s forecast shows a rebound, with afternoon highs climbing back into the low 60s, roughly average for this time of year. This brief warm spell should provide a comfortable break before the cooler pattern returns.
Sunday and early next week stay cool
Sunday will maintain similar daytime temperatures, but a modest increase in moisture is expected Sunday night. While the chance of significant rain remains low, any precipitation that does arrive may be absorbed by the Cascades before reaching the High Desert.
From Monday through the rest of the work week, highs are projected to stay in the low 50s, bringing back the classic fall chill to the region. Residents should keep extra layers handy each day.
Plan ahead for Halloween
With Halloween just eight days away, the cooler weather means families may need to consider warmer costumes or an additional layer for children. Stay tuned for updates as the forecast evolves.
Stay warm, Bend, and enjoy the upcoming weekend!
