Scattered Showers Expected Wednesday In Roseburg As Warmer Weather Builds Late Week
Scattered showers are expected in Roseburg Wednesday before tapering off overnight. Warmer daytime temperatures are forecast Thursday and Friday, with highs possibly reaching the upper 60s to lower 70s by Friday.
ROSEBURG, Ore. — Scattered showers are expected across the Roseburg area Wednesday as an upper-level low continues moving inland over southwest Oregon, according to the National Weather Service in Medford.
Forecasters said showers will continue through the day before gradually tapering off Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Thunderstorm chances are lower than Tuesday, but the Weather Service said there remains a low 5% to 10% chance for thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon.
Inland areas, including Roseburg, could see a mix of aviation conditions Wednesday morning, with local low clouds or reduced visibility possible in some valleys. Conditions are expected to improve to mostly VFR by the afternoon, though heavier showers may briefly reduce visibility.
Gusty west winds are expected mainly from the Cascades eastward, with gusts of 25 to 40 mph possible. Roseburg and other valleys west of the Cascades are not expected to see the strongest winds.
Showers are forecast to diminish Wednesday night, with only some lingering light showers possible near the coast Thursday morning. Cooler mornings are expected Thursday and Friday, with localized frost possible in some valleys west of the Cascades, mainly the Illinois Valley. East of the Cascades, temperatures may fall into the 20s and lower 30s.
Daytime temperatures are expected to trend warmer Thursday into Friday. By Friday, forecasters said valley locations west of the Cascades, including Roseburg, could see highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Areas east of the Cascades are expected to reach the 60s.
A weak disturbance may move into northern California on Friday, but the Weather Service said dry weather is expected to continue for most areas, with only a slight chance of showers mainly over Siskiyou County.
Rain chances are expected to increase again over the weekend as a pair of upper-level disturbances move through the region. The first is expected to track into northern California Saturday, followed by another weak low moving down from the north Sunday.
The pattern supports additional shower chances Saturday and Sunday. Forecasters said weak instability could also bring a slight chance of thunderstorms, mainly across northern California Saturday, with a lower chance across southern Oregon. A low thunderstorm chance may continue Sunday.
