A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape) is moving away from the Pacific Northwest and a trough of low pressure (“U” shape) will move in behind it and start sending some serious moisture our way. A cold front is headed for Oregon and will bring back our chances of getting wet. Another frontal system will move in from the North mid week.
