An upper level low (“U” shape in blue arrows shaded in grey) has moved through the Pacific Northwest and another one is sliding down Western British Columbia toward us. 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, but it will be dry. A weak frontal system will try to move through Oregon Monday with not much effect.
