An upper level trough of low pressure is rolling across the Pacific Northwest. As it continues East our temperatures will start to rise. A high pressure ridge will help bring back the sunshine and warm us up again. Another low pressure trough and a weak cold front will move in by the end of the the weekend for another round of clouds and cooling.
