A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape) will slowly move across the Pacific Northwest bringing back the chance of rain. A weak front will move through the Northern reaches of Oregon, but the rain should stay to our North through today. The Autumnal Equinox occurs at 2:05 AM PDT Friday, but it will still feel like late Summer. We could see some precipitation pushing through the Pacific Northwest by the end of the weekend into early next week as a frontal system moves in Sunday.
