A upper level low pressure trough (“U” shape on the yellow line) is moving eastward away from the Pacific Northwest. A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape on the yellow line ) over Western Canada) gave us just a slight chance of sprinkles Saturday. The serious chance of rain should hold off until late tonight and Monday as a frontal system moves into Oregon late today. Another trough of low pressure will will head our way pushing yet another frontal system that will approach the coast by early Tuesday.
