A trough of low pressure is sliding to the East and weak high pressure will be try to take over before another low pressure trough slides down from the Gulf of Alaska. It looks like we’ll be seeing lots of clouds mixed with some sunshine, and slight chances of light rain or showers as a couple of little disturbances move through over the weekend, then a frontal system will be approaching Oregon by the end of the weekend and early next week.
