An Upper level High Pressure ridge (Shaded arch offshore) will give us sunshine and steady temperatures for a couple of days through Columbus Day on Monday. Today’s high will be near 70 warmer than yesterday’s high of 65 for Eugene. We’ll see mid 60s Friday and Saturday with lots of sunshine and 68 on sunday with more sun. By Monday, Columbus Day, the trough of low pressure (shaded U west of the high pressure ridge) will move in and cool us to the low 60s through Wednesday with rain Monday and showers Tuesday.
