Pendleton, get ready for a weather rollercoaster this weekend! Friday starts off cool and rainy, but don’t worry—Saturday brings a break with sunshine and milder temps. Just when you think you’re in the clear, rain returns Sunday night with a 70% chance of showers rolling in to soak the start of next week.
If you’re wondering how to plan your weekend—whether to layer up for a drizzly Friday, soak up the sun on Saturday, or prep for another wet Sunday night—here’s everything you need to know.
Friday: A Cool, Damp Start to the Weekend
If you’re heading out Friday, bring a raincoat or at least a hooded jacket—the skies are looking gray, drizzly, and chilly all day long.
What’s Coming:
-
Scattered showers will come and go, nothing torrential but enough to keep you damp.
-
Gloomy skies will stick around—don’t expect much sunshine.
-
Breezy conditions, with gusts up to 15-20 mph making it feel even colder.
Temperatures:
-
Highs hover around 55°F (13°C)—definitely a sweater and rain jacket kind of day.
-
It’ll drop to 40°F (4°C) overnight, so expect a chilly evening if you’re out late.
Friday Game Plan:
-
If you’re running errands, prepare for wet roads and puddles.
-
It’s a good night for takeout and a movie—cozy up and stay dry!
-
If you’re headed to any outdoor events, pack extra layers and an umbrella.
Saturday: A Well-Timed Break—Get Outside While You Can!
Saturday is your golden window of opportunity! The rain takes a break, the sun finally makes an appearance, and temperatures start to feel a little more spring-like.
What to Expect:
-
Mostly sunny skies—a much-needed contrast to Friday’s gloom.
-
Lighter winds, so it won’t feel as biting.

A comfortable afternoon, perfect for outdoor plans.
Temperatures:
-
Highs warm up to 60°F (16°C)—not exactly summer, but way better than Friday’s damp chill.
-
Lows dip to 42°F (6°C) overnight, but with clearer skies, it won’t feel as damp.
Saturday Game Plan:
-
Go outside! Hike, walk, grab coffee, or just enjoy the sunshine.
-
If you need to get any yard work or outdoor errands done, this is your chance.
-
A perfect day for a spring picnic or just opening the windows for some fresh air.
Sunday Night: Rain Returns—Just in Time to Start the Workweek

Clouds start creeping in Sunday afternoon, blocking out that Saturday sunshine.
-
By Sunday evening, rain starts falling again and sticks around overnight.
-
Winds pick up a bit, making things feel even chillier.
Temperatures:

Highs stay in the mid-50s, but once the rain arrives, it’ll feel colder.

Overnight lows hover around 40°F, meaning a damp and chilly night ahead.
Sunday Night Travel Caution:

Roads will be wet and potentially slick heading into Monday morning.

If you’re driving late Sunday, take it slow and watch for reduced visibility.

Might be a good night to stay in and relax with a hot drink instead of going out.
