Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.

An upper level high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shaped area with blue arrows) took over Saturday drying us out after some AM showers. Another low (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) will follow bring more clouds and cooling us down again by Tuesday. Then the chance of rain returns on Wednesday. Look for a couple of frontal systems to be approaching Oregon next Sunday. For those who are wondering, Daylight Saving Time officially ends and Standard Time returns at 2:00 am Sunday November 1st (Or at Bedtime Saturday October 31st, Halloween).

High pressure (“Arch” shape in blue arrows) has brought us sunshine and warmer temperatures. An upper level low (Shaded “U” shape with blue arrows) will move closer to shore bringing more clouds and cooling down our temperatures today. It doesn’t look like we’ll see any showers for a while, at least not from what the computer models see at the moment. A frontal system will be approaching the Pacific Northwest Friday bringing a slight chance of showers Friday night through Saturday night.
