A trough of low pressure is south of us (the shaded “U” ) and it will keep a moisture flow headed our way.  A frontal system is moving southeastward and will increase our chances for getting wet. Another frontal system will be pushing into the Pacific Northwest by the end of the week. Between the two systems there will be a period of dry weather.
