☀️ High-Desert Weather Outlook
Good morning, Bend! Grab your favorite mug and step outside—it's another classic Central Oregon stunner. We’re looking at bright, crystal-clear high desert sunshine with an afternoon high around 78°F and crisp, cool morning air that makes that first coffee hit just right.
🌲 Local Tip: Expect a gentle afternoon breeze rolling off the Cascades around 4 PM—ideal timing to grab a spot on a patio or head over to the river park!
