Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
________________
An upper level trough of low pressure is moving toward the Pacific Northwest bringing back the chance of rain with it. Autumn is officially here, but well have one more day of summer-like weather before cooler temperatures and the chance of rain push in. A cold front will weaken as it moves across Oregon Sunday, but there will still be a chance of rain from it. Following closely behind will be another frontal system Monday to increase the chances of precipitation.
