Scattered showers possible Saturday, cooler weather arrives Sund

Rain will return to the Willamette Valley by late morning to early afternoon.

Sunday: Temperatures begin to take a nose-dive, only reaching the mid-30s – maybe upper 30s downtown. Another weak low will track south of us on Saturday night but it doesn’t look like much of any rain will affect the area.

The day will bring lots of sunshine as well, before a new system spreads clouds back in by daybreak Friday. Layer up and limit exposed skin tomorrow morning! The first front moves through by Friday morning, leaving us in the 30s during the day Friday with wind chills in the 20s under mostly cloudy skies.

As the cold air moves in early Saturday, rain, sleet and snow will move into the panhandle, then move southeast across the north and northeastern south plains from 4 a.m. until noon on Saturday. A second storm system, a cold front, could bring lighter rain on Sunday, but rain chances are lower, and there is a chance that the rain could stay out to sea.

Wide spread rain showers are forecasted with a chance of snow near the Red River. Skies probably lean more cloudy than clear, but we should see periods of blue in the afternoon.

With higher snow levels (5000 and 6000 feet) the mountain rain will melt the snow we have seen the last few days creating higher than normal runoff.

Temperatures should dip into the low 20s Saturday night as clouds roll in, the weather service said. Highs for the Martin Luther King Jr. Boston’s 0.3 inches of snow on Tuesday evening was enough to push the season total over the 1-inch mark. Many will experience lows near 0, or at least in the single digits.
