An upper level low (“U” shape in blue arrows shaded in grey) has moved into the Pacific Northwest. A weak frontal system will slide through Oregon Friday as it falls apart We’ll get a little warmer toward the end of the week and leading into the holiday weekend. I still feel the Labor Day Holiday weekend will be pretty good. The temperatures won’t be summer hot, but rather average for the time of the year.
