Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

An upper air trough of low pressure (“U” shape on yellow line) moved eastward over Oregon. Now high pressure (“Arch” shape on yellow line) will clear us out for a few days. 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 through the weekend and beyond.
