Cumulus Mammatus clouds over South Eugene

A weak high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on yellow line) will be moving away from the Pacific Northwest with a low pressure trough (“U” shape on the yellow line) pushing in behind it. That means it’s  back to a wet weather pattern for the workweek. A frontal system will move through bringing more clouds and rain to the area today.

_________________

These clouds are formed by strong turbulence high in the sky. They indicate strong storms are nearby. The storms were in the foothills and the mountains just to our East Monday late afternoon and evening.

A weak high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on yellow line) will be moving away from the Pacific Northwest with a low pressure trough (“U” shape on the yellow line) pushing in behind it. That means it’s  back to a wet weather pattern for the workweek. A frontal system (shown offshore) will move in Monday bringing more clouds and rain to the area.

A weak high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on yellow line) will be moving over and then away from the Pacific Northwest with a low pressure trough (“U” shape on the yellow line) pushing in behind it. That means we have dried out and will keep warming up for the rest of the weekend, and then it’s  back to a wet weather pattern. A frontal system (warm front) has moved northward through Oregon with drying behind it as the ridge moved in. It will become stationary and fluctuate between moving in one direction and then reverse direction for a while.

A weak high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on yellow line) will be moving over and then away from the Pacific Northwest with a low pressure trough (“U” shape on the yellow line) pushing in behind it. That means we are going to dry out a bit, hopefully for the whole weekend, and then it’s  back to a wet weather pattern. A frontal system has moved through with drying behind it as the ridge moves in. It will become stationary and fluctuate between moving in one direction and then reverse direction for a while.
