Atmospheric river moving on shore, Willamette Pass to see first snow

An atmospheric river is forecast to reach Oregon Nov. 13 and 14. Much of the deluge is predicted to land south of Eugene-Springfield and Florence, pummeling coastal cities from Reedsport to the Oregon-California border and thrashing Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties with high winds. The Willamette Valley is still expected to get rain and gusty winds as the ribbon of moisture moves on shore. Eugene is now forecast to see 0.31 inches of rain on Nov. 13 and Nov. 14 will likely be dry. Wind gusts are forecast to reach a maximum of 23 mph both days. The Willamette Pass is forecast to see some of the first snow of the season. NWS forecasts the pass will see 0.5 inches of snow on the night of Nov. 13 and another 0.4 inches the evening of Nov. 14.

This Oregon Roadside Burger Joint Is Filled With Rusty Car Parts And Serves Burgers Loaded With Wild Toppings

An airplane fuselage sits on the roof of a burger joint along an Oregon highway. Yes, an actual chunk of airplane. It’s the first clue that lunch here won’t be ordinary.
