An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge is sitting over the Pacific Northwest bringing more sunshine and no rain today, but for how long? The graphics for days 1-3 show no frontal systems impacting the Pacific Northwest, but a surface Low will move eastward from the Northwestern California/Southwestern Oregon border giving us rain chances. The graphics for days 3-7 Tuesday through Saturday show no frontal activity for the Pacific Northwest during the period until a frontal system slides in between Wednesday and Wednesday night. A complex frontal system will be to our northwest next Friday.
