An upper level trough of low pressure (“U” shape in blue arrows and shaded) has moved away from the Pacific Northwest. A high pressure ridge (“Arch shape shaded grey and with blue arrows ”) is bringing back the sunshine and will warm us up through the rest of the workweek. A cold front will move through on Saturday, but only bring us a few more clouds.
