An upper level High Pressure ridge (“Arch” shaped shaded area) is moving Eastward away from us. A large trough of low pressure trough (“U” shaded area over the ocean) is coming in behind the ridge. A weak frontal system is trying to move through the Pacific Northwest, but it will fall apart and only bring clouds. Another stronger storm system behind it (see surface low off California with trailing cold front) will be pushed inland by the upper level trough by late Saturday bringing back more wet and cooler weather.
