Another  trough of low pressure has moved in offshore to set us up for more storms.  A frontal system pushed through Eastern Oregon with more rain and snow. The next major frontal system will approach the Pacific Northwest between Tuesday, so that should mean a relatively dry weekend then back to wet next week.
