An upper level trough of low pressure has lined itself along the coast and will send storms in waves at the Pacific Northwest. That means a wet week ahead. One frontal system has already gone through and a parade of storms will march through as you can see by Wednesday a storm that pushes through is in the Southwest and two more are heading our way. As you can see by the advisories below ( there are quite a few), we seem to be back into a more wintery weather pattern for a while.
