An upper level trough of low pressure (shaded “U” shape following the ridge) will continue moving through Oregon. A weak upper level high (Small “Arch” shape in blue arrows) will clear us up and dry us out a bit for the weekend as another low (“U” shape) moves in off the Washington and Oregon coasts to return the clouds. A frontal system (position shown is Monday) will return the chance of rain ahead of it Sunday just in time for Father’s Day.
