A cold front moved through Eastern Oregon and behind it a high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape over the Pacific Northwest) will warm us up for a while then an upper level low (“U” shaped area in the jet stream) will slide in behind the ridge. Look for another cold front to roll across Oregon on Thursday bringing back the chance of precipitation.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
