Football Forecast for today:

Ducks vs UCLA at Autzen Stadium: Kickoff 6PM Mostly cloudy Temperature: near 60 Wind: SW 5-10 mph

Should be dry for the game, but there could be a little light drizzle before the game is over, then the chance of rain begins late at night. Make sure you dress in layers because the temperature will be dropping as the game progresses. You might want to make sure you are prepared for a sprinkle or light drizzle just in case the storm decides to move in a little sooner. It’s Oregon after all.

An upper level upper level High Pressure ridge (“Arch” shaped area) is starting to move eastward away from us. An upper level trough of low pressure (the “U” shaped  area stretching down from over the Gulf of Alaska) will start changing our weather and help send moisture ahead of a cold front that is approaching the coast. Another frontal system will move through Oregon Sunday.

Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.
