Advisories: A FROST ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM TONIGHT UNTIL 9 AM MONDAY FOR THE SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON COAST.
________________
A cold front is pushed through Oregon bringing only the chance for a little rain. Another high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the jet stream) will bring back the fog with possible freezing fog. Low pressure will follow, then another high pressure area alternating the fog and the chance of rain. Still not enough snow for Willamette Pass or Hoodoo to open for skiing, but Mt. Ashland has opened.
