A warm and dry pattern will continue through early next week as a ridge of high pressure strengthens across the Pacific Northwest, bringing mostly sunny skies to Central Oregon.

Afternoon highs will climb into the low 80s, with clear skies overnight and temperatures dipping into the 40s.

The region will continue to warm through the weekend, with highs reaching the mid to upper 80s and breezy north to northeast winds developing on Saturday and Sunday.

By Monday and Tuesday, temperatures could reach the low 90s, making morning hours the most comfortable time for outdoor activities.

Stronger winds may develop next week, potentially leading to elevated fire weather conditions, but as of now, Central Oregon is not under any heat or fire alerts.
