Here are today’s Football Forecasts:

Ducks vs Washington at Autzen Stadium: Kickoff 12:30 PM Mostly cloudy 50 warming to 56 by the end of the game with a slight (20%) chance of showers. I would suggest taking the rain gear. The sprinkles could get you wet on your way into the stadium not to mention when you get there.

Beavers at UCLA at Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA: Kickoff 4 PM Partly cloudy to mostly 78 cooling to near 70 by the end of the game with a (30%) chance showers. I guess the weather is not always perfect in Southern California either.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour (Fall Back) at bedtime tonight (2 AM Sunday to be precise) as we leave Daylight Saving Time and return to Standard Time. Also, check the batteries in your smoke alarms and change them if necessary.

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 today bringing back more wet and cooler weather.
