An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape) is moving toward the Pacific Northwest and is changing our weather back to wet and cooler. A weak cold front has brought back some sprinkles and a new frontal system is pushing through for the weekend adding more precipitation to the mix. Another frontal system will be upon us by the middle of next week.
