An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) that brought us more daytime sunshine and nighttime clear skies through the Pacific Northwest is tilting to the Northeast allowing frontal movement. The graphics for days 1-3 show the weak cold front that pushed the Pacific Northwest today to cool us off a bit (back to more normal temperatures). The graphics for days 3-7 Tuesday through Saturday show no frontal systems approaching the Pacific Northwest until next Friday when a cold font slides through.
