Wednesday will be the last day with afternoon high temperatures in the low to mid 90s for the time being in the Umpqua Valley.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that high pressure in the region will cause the bump up in temperatures. The high pressure is expected to weaken on Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 80’s on Thursday and upper 70’s on Friday. Low pressure is slated to move in on Saturday bringing showers and the potential for afternoon thunderstorms. Conditions are expected to be dry beginning Sunday for at least a few days.

Forecasters said it is still possible to get back to the 90s later in the month if strong high pressure returns.

The mercury reached 83 degrees on Tuesday at the Roseburg Regional Airport. That is equal to the normal high temperature for this week in September.
