What a perfect day for a Sunday in a holiday weekend. Great weather, for me at least, to get some must needed yard work done without frying in the hot sun. Now we warm back up for all of the Independence Day celebrations. Have a safe 4th of July Holiday. Please 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 for you and maybe someone else. Be safe.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape) will build offshore and bring back the sunny and warmer weather. An upper level trough of low pressure “U” shape) will build in from the Northwest about midweek. A cold front will approach the Pacific Northwest Wednesday bringing more clouds, cooler temperatures, and maybe even some sprinkles.
