An upper level trough of Low Pressure is sending storms in waves at the Pacific Northwest. That means a more wet weather  ahead.  Another  storm system is marching through getting us even wetter and this one has some serious winter weather attached to it for the mountains. Low snow levels will keep new snow falling in the mountains which will increase the snow depth so there will be more water available as spring runoff to raise the levels of the reservoirs. By late Sunday a new storm system will be moving in. Still another storm will move toward the Oregon coast on Tuesday.
