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 keeping our temperatures down. 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 and Saturday.
