An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape) is moving away and a high pressure ridge (“arch” shape) has cleared us out again. A surface thermal though of low pressure (dashed line that moved over the Pacific Northwest), caused by the daytime heating, brought us some clouds and just a few sprinkles. The temperatures will slowly fall, but we’ll still have sunshine, until late in the week into next weekend when a new cold front moves in (position shown is Sunday).

An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape offshore) will take over from the high pressure ridge (“arch” shape moving away from us. A frontal system is moving in behind the surface high pressure (blue “H” now over Nevada/Utah border) bringing back the cooler temperatures and the chance for rain. High pressure rebuilds during the week so temperatures will rebound and we’ll be back to sunshine, until next weekend it seems.
