Only one day left so please be careful for the end this holiday weekend. Don’t drink and drive or drink and boat. It will be slightly cooler but remember to drink plenty of water and get to a cool location if you get overheated.
________________
Advisories: None at this time.

We will be staying under a strengthening high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape covering the Pacific Northwest) for the week. Onshore flow Monday from a weak upper level disturbance may cool us down just a touch, but the ridge will get stronger Tuesday assuring that we will have a hot week.
