A strengthening Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) brings us more daytime sunshine and nighttime clear skies through the Pacific Northwest. The graphics for days 1-3 show another a weak cold front pushing into the Pacific Northwest between today and Saturday to cool us off a bit (back to more normal temperatures). The graphics for days 3-7 Monday through Friday show no frontal systems approaching the Pacific Northwest until next Friday when a cold font slides through.
