Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

An upper level trough of low pressure (“U” shape on orange line) is setting up over the Pacific Ocean bringing more clouds and some cooling early for now into early next week. A frontal system (shown offshore) will move in Monday bringing the small chance of showers mainly Monday and Monday night. The weather will be good for the beginning of the Lane County Fair that starts next Wednesday when another warming trend will begin. A frontal system will approach Oregon next weekend bringing back more clouds, but so far, it doesn’t look like there will be any chance of precipitation. If you think the moon looks full you are correct. The full Sturgeon Moon was officially full at 11:57 AM PDT Saturday.
