________________
Have a safe 4th of July holiday weekend. Lots of sun except for Sunday, but at least it won’t be raining on your picnic. Don’t Drink and Drive or Boat and Drive. The least you could get is a ticket and the worst is a ticket to the last roundup. Be safe.
________________
Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

Here are your detailed forecasts.**
________________
The good news is that a high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape) is moving through bringing us sunshine and much warmer temperatures. A weak disturbance tonight and Sunday will bring clouds and no significant precipitation to Oregon, but that will cool down the temperatures more than I originally thought. More sunshine and warmer for the 4th. A frontal system will change our weather back to more clouds, cooler temperatures, and maybe some showers.
