Tim Chuey Weather:
More clouds and high temperatures cooling to well below average for this time of the year. Nice and comfortable for the Eugene “Relay For Life” which runs (or walks) from 6PM today until 6 PM Saturday at the Willamette High School track.
High: 79
Low: 52
Forecast: Cloudy
An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape on the brown line) will sit offshore for a short time. That, when added to a weak frontal system (position shown still offshore) that will brush by Oregon today, will increase onshore airflow enough to bring some clouds and cool us down a bit for the weekend. High pressure (“arch” shape on brown line) will take over after that and will give us great weather into next week.
The pollen count for the Eugene-Springfield area is:
Grass- Moderate (5)
Trees- Low (2)
Data from Oregon Allergy Associates

Because weather forecasting is a combination of science, intuition, and timing there can be no absolute guarantees that individual forecasts will be 100% accurate. Nature is in a constant state of flux and sudden unexpected weather events can happen.
