Forecast Oregon is the definitive portal for the Beaver State's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear for all 36 counties, from the surf at Cannon Beach and the bar at Newport up the Willamette Valley, over the Cascade crest at Government Camp and Santiam Pass, and out across the high desert to the Snake.
Oregon is two climates with a mountain range between them, and the range is the story. West of the crest the Pacific delivers 40 inches a year at Eugene and 80 on the Coast Range, almost all of it between October and May. East of it, Burns gets ten. The same east wind that dries the valley in September drove the Labor Day fires of 2020 down the Santiam and the McKenzie in a night, and in December it turns Gorge rain into a quarter inch of ice on I-84. Forecast Oregon is built around that divide rather than the flat map of it.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. Oregon takes a wet-basalt paper and a marionberry accent — the blackberry bred at Oregon State in Corvallis, named for Marion County, and grown here more than anywhere else on earth — its own note in the network.
Oregon is covered close-up by 2 region sites, each on its own subdomain of forecastoregon.com — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record as this site, drawn to one metro or region instead of the whole state, with a page for every city in it. They are part of Forecast Oregon, not separate sites: /about on any of them lands back here.
Oregon has four live neighbors — every state it touches: Forecast Washington across the Columbia, which shares the Gorge and every storm that comes ashore, Forecast California across the Siskiyous on I-5, Forecast Idaho up the Snake at Ontario, and Forecast Nevada across the Black Rock at Denio — each tinted in its own accent on the hero map and clickable from it. The rest of the Forecast <State> network is part of the same system.
