Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape on yellow line) will be moving eastward over Oregon. Another frontal system is pushing into the Pacific Northwest tonight. Weak high pressure will clear us out a bit for Tuesday and Wednesday. Then low pressure returns offshore, but one frontal system will slide Southward brushing California and the next one will wait until Friday night to start bringing back the wet weather.
