Skies will be mostly cloudy today and it will be much cooler with a chance of showers today and a slight chance late tonight. Temperatures will only reach the mid to upper 70s instead of the 90s like Thursday. An upper level low will help push a weak cold front eastward through Oregon bringing the cooler temperatures and possible precipitation. We are below normal for rainfall and could really use the moisture, but don’t look for much accumulation. The morning clouds will linger Saturday so it won’t warm up very much, just near 80 degrees. Sunday will see lots of sunshine and warmer temperatures in the low to mid 80s.

Don’t  forget my weekly weather quiz. Here’s this week’s question. In the 1996 movie “Twister” a device called “Dorothy” was used to study how tornadoes function. There was a real device used in early tornado research. What was it called? Please put your answer in the comments section. You have until the end of the day today to respond.
