An upper level low (watch the yellow “U” shaped line) is moving out, but another area of low pressure will move back toward the end of the week. Summer officially began at 4:28 AM Pacific Daylight Time today. What about the Summer weather? It looks like we’ll get a taste of it for the next day or two, then by next Sunday a cold front will drop down from the northwest doing not much more than cool us a bit.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
