The National Weather Service says an abnormal weather pattern for this time of year, including especially cloudy conditions, means the Umpqua Valley will have a cooler high temperature than earlier expected for Friday.

Forecasters told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the mercury is expected to reach only 62 degrees at the Roseburg Regional Airport on Friday. Earlier weather models were predicting a high of around 70 degrees for the day.
