A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the orange line) is over the Pacific Northwest continuing the sunshine and warm temperatures. A cold front will drop down and move through bringing some clouds and cooling the temperatures behind it with some sprinkles mainly along the coast. It will start to warm back up again by mid week and remain pleasant as the Eugene Celebration starts next Friday through the weekend.
