Now here is the forecast. Along the Coast: N. Coast- A HIGH WIND WARNING IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM TUESDAY

Central & S Coast: HIGH WIND WARNING FROM 10 AM TODAY UNTIL 4 AM TUESDAY AND A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FROM 4 PM TODAY UNTIL 4 AM WEDNESDAY. Winds will be S 25-35 mph along the South Coast beaches.

An upper level low pressure trough (shaded area) offshore will be sending storms our way to keep the week wet. A cold front will move through tonight and Tuesday and another  frontal system will push through Thursday into Friday. It will be mostly cloudy, but dry today then a slight (20% chance) this evening and  a 50% chance of rain overnight high 55 low 43. Rain and breezy Tuesday with showers likely (60% chance) through Tuesday night high 50 low 40. Showers will be likely (60% chance) again Wednesday and Wednesday night high 50 low 40. Rain will be likely (60% chance) Thursday and  breezy in the afternoon with showers likely at night high near 50 lows near 40.

In the Cascades the free air freezing level will rise to 9,000′ today and drop to a snow level of 8,000′ tonight. The snow level will fall to 3,500′ Tuesday and stay between 3,500′ and 4,500′ through Sunday. Willamette Pass and Hoodoo are both hoping to open for the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. The new snow this week could do the trick. Keep your fingers crossed!
