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. A cold front will weaken as it moves across Oregon today, but there will still be a pretty good chance of rain from it. Following closely behind will be another frontal system to increase the chances of precipitation. There are a lot of dry lawns, grasslands, and forests that will greatly appreciate the rainy season getting under way.
