MONDAY FORECAST TO BE HOTTEST DAY OF 2025 SO FAR

KQEN News Radio

Monday is forecast to be the hottest day of 2025 so far in Roseburg.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the high is expected to be 83 degrees at the Roseburg Regional Airport.  The normal high temperatures for this week in April are between 63 and 64 degrees. That means the Umpqua Valley will be around 10 degrees above normal through Friday, and nearly 20 degrees above normal on Monday.

The hottest day of the year to this point was 78 degrees on April 5th. The record high for the date is 88 degrees, set in 1947.

FRIDAY DEADLINE TO ENTER ARBOR DAY PHOTO CONTEST

KQEN News Radio

Friday at 5:00 p.m. is the deadline to enter the Roseburg Parks and Recreation 2025 Arbor Day Photo Contest.

A city release said there is still time left to grab a camera and explore the beauty of Roseburg’s tree – including the great variety found in city parks.

Roseburg Recreation Coordinator Tracy David said, “Spring is the perfect time to go tree hunting in Roseburg. The trees are blooming, everything’s turning green again, and it should make for some really interesting photos”. David said, “Since Roseburg is a designated Tree City USA, there are many to choose from”.

The top three photos will be announced and showcased on Arbor Day – on Friday, April 25th, on the Roseburg Parks and Recreation Facebook page. The winning photos will also be highlighted in the City Connection e-newsletter later this spring.

Anyone is eligible to submit one photo taken in the greater Roseburg area which depicts a tree or grove of trees. Be sure to include the photo location in the entry. Adobe Photoshop or other editing software cannot be used to alter the appearance or reality of the photo.

For details on the contest and the online submission form, go here.

NORTH CREEK TRAIL REOPENS AT SOUTH SLOUGH RESERVE

KQEN News Radio

The popular North Creek Trail at the South Slough Reserve near Charleston has reopened to the public, as of Friday.

Public Involvement Coordinator Deborah Rudd said earlier a large tree had fallen between bridges 7 and 8, causing significant damage to the trail. Rudd said the impact uprooted a large section of the path, rendering it impassable.

Thanks to the quick and dedicated work of South Slough maintenance staff, Mike Allman and Daniel Fenn, the trail was cleared and repaired. The team successfully removed the massive root wad and restored the damaged section, ensuring safe access for all visitors.

Rudd said South Slough Reserve trails are open daily from dawn to dusk.
