The upper air flow is pushing lots of moisture our way to set us up for some heavy rain and mountain snow. A warm front has brought heavy rain to the area with a large pool of warm moist air that moved in. The front will be followed by a cold front today increasing the rain again into tonight. More frontal systems will be hitting Oregon continuing into next week.
