EUGENE, Ore. – Temperatures are going to drop throughout Western Oregon Sunday as a frigid arctic front moves south from Canada.
The National Weather Service warns the cold air will spread into Washington then Western Oregon through the day and will bring strong wind gusts in places, especially in the mountains.
Isolated snow showers are possible through the day, however forecasters say there isn’t much moisture in the air so significant accumulation is not expected.
Daytime temperatures Sunday will top out at 35 degree in the Eugene/Springfield area. Nighttime temperatures Sunday and Monday will fall into the teens and twenties. On Monday daytime temperatures are expected to stay below freezing.
In the metro area, warming centers for the homeless will be open again Sunday night. Charley Harvey with St. Vincent DePaul said the warming centers have been almost filling up the last few nights.
A new warming center in Springfield is set to open Sunday night at Ebbert Memorial United Methodist Church at 532 C Street.
All told, about 150 warm beds for the homeless will be open Sunday night, Harvey said.
