An upper level trough of low pressure (“U” shape) has moved into the Pacific Northwest and will keep us alternating between periods of clouds and cooler temperatures, and even some light rain or drizzle, then back to some more sunshine and warming temperatures. A frontal system is approaching the coast and will bring a chance of showers through early Sunday AM with clearing and warming behind it for the rest of the weekend into next week when there will be another little cool down. If you think the moon looks full you are correct. The full “Buck” moon occurred Thursday at 11:40 PM.
