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 a cold front (position shown on Friday) to roll across Oregon on Thursday bringing back the chance of precipitation.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
