A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape) will slowly away from the Pacific Northwest and a trough of low pressure will follow bringing back the chance of rain with it. The Autumnal Equinox occurs at 2:05 AM PDT Friday, but it will still feel like late Summer. We should 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 and another frontal system follows that one.
