Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

We have been under a blocking high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape covering the Pacific Northwest) that kept us under Easterly hot airflow. The ridge has weakened and will start moving Eastward away from us. A frontal system will move in and that should cool us down even more with more fronts to follow over the weekend which could even produce some showers.
