If you’ve lived in Oregon for a while, you know how unpredictable spring weather can be—and Thursday is the perfect example. Expect a mix of clouds, light showers, and some much-needed sunshine across Eugene, Portland, and Medford. It’s one of those days where you’ll want to dress in layers, keep an umbrella close, and maybe even throw on some sunglasses—just in case.
Let’s break it down city by city:
Eugene: Cloudy Start, But Afternoon Sunshine Saves the Day
Eugene kicks off the day on the chilly side, with gray skies and a cool 37°F (3°C) in the morning. There’s a slight chance of a few drizzles, but nothing too dramatic. By midday, the clouds will start breaking up, and we’ll get some sunshine in the afternoon—a perfect excuse to step outside for some fresh air!
High: 56°F (13°C)
Low: 33°F (1°C)
Morning clouds, afternoon sunshine—bring a jacket, but maybe leave the rain boots at home.
By the evening, temperatures dip into the low 30s, so if you have evening plans, you’ll want to bundle up.
Portland: Classic PNW Morning, But The Sun Shows Up Later
Portland wakes up to typical early spring weather—cool, cloudy, and a little damp, with morning temps around 43°F (6°C). It’s nothing too extreme, but definitely sweater weather.
By the afternoon, things brighten up as the sun peeks through, and temperatures warm up to 58°F (14°C). That’s pretty nice for early March!
High: 58°F (14°C)
Low: 35°F (2°C)
Morning gloom, but a sunnier, more comfortable afternoon.
By the time the sun sets, it’ll get chilly again, so if you’re heading out in the evening, a warm coat is a must.
Medford: Cloudy All Day, But Not a Total Washout
Medford will hold onto the clouds a little longer than Eugene or Portland. The morning starts at 44°F (7°C), with a mostly gray sky overhead. While the sun might make a few brief appearances, expect a mostly overcast day with temps peaking at 55°F (13°C).
High: 55°F (13°C)
Low: 31°F (0°C)
A cloudy day with a chance of some sunshine—so be prepared for anything.
By night, temperatures drop to near freezing, so if you have any plants outside, you might want to bring them in!
What’s the Overall Vibe?
Thursday is a true Oregon spring day—some clouds, some sun, and just enough rain to keep us on our toes.
Sun will make an appearance, but don’t be surprised by a few lingering clouds.
It’s a “wear layers” kind of day—cool in the morning, mild in the afternoon, chilly at night.
Morning roads might be damp, but nothing too extreme—just drive carefully!
