High pressure continues to push in from the west and blocks major storm systems from bringing us any precipitation. That also set up an inversion, warm air over cold air, to produce late night and early morning fog. The next storm system to bring back wet weather won’t be here until late in the week.

For the Willamette Valley :  Patchy AM fog then clouds and sun again today high 47 , partly cloudy in the evening and mostly cloudy at night  with more fog low 32 .
