Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

The high pressure ridge has moved to the east and we will continue feeling cool for the rest of the weekend as the ridge weakens and a low off the coast moves to the north.  A cold front will approach the coast Wednesday and start moving through the Pacific Northwest Thursday. It doesn’t look like it will do much to change our weather except to keep us cool.
