Weather Pattern

An Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape with arrows) keeps the drying out going for a while longer, but temperatures will stay moderate. The graphics for days 1-3 show a frontal system offshore today. There is still smoke out there, but at least the air quality has gone back to more normal. The graphics for days 3-7 Thursday through next Monday show the complex frontal system moving through the Pacific Northwest Thursday, then a complex frontal system is to our northwest next Saturday.
Note: The fire danger in Oregon is still in the High category for all of Western Oregon and in spite of the recent rain it is still very dry out there. Please be very careful out there and remember Smokey Bear’s words “Only you can prevent wildfires.”

The Short History of The Long Road

By Kelly Asay

For teenage Nola (Sabrina Carpenter), home is the open road. Her self-reliant father (Steven Ogg) is her anchor in a life of transience. The pair crisscross the United States in a lovingly refurbished RV, relishing their independence and making ends meet by doing odd jobs. A shocking rupture, though, casts Nola out on her own. She makes her way to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in search of a mother she never knew. When her motorhome unexpectedly breaks down, she forges a bond with an auto body shop owner (Danny Trejo), and senses the possibility of mooring her ship in this storm.

Train To Busan 2 : Peninsula

By Kelly Asay

Train to Busan, released in 2016, went on to become a massive hit in various countries around the world. It's said the budget of Peninsula is roughly $16 million, which is double what the original cost to produce. While it is being billed as a sequel, director Yeon Sang-ho cautions that it is not a continuation of what happened in Train to Busan, but it "happens in the same universe." The story of Peninsula is set four years after the events of the first movie. It centers on a former soldier who has managed to escape the devastated Korean peninsula. But he is given a mission to go back and surprisingly meets up with survivors. Zombie movies...I guess we still watch them.No Current Trailer
