THE WEATHER PATTERN

An Upper Level Low Pressure Trough (“U” shape) is moving eastward and an Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) is well offshore slowly heading toward the coast.  The graphics for days 1-3  show a weak surface wave moving over the Pacific Northwest today bringing cooler air with it, then warming Sunday and Monday. The graphics for days 3-7  Tuesday through next Saturday show a frontal system moving through Tuesday and Wednesday then another front looks like it will fall apart along the coast Friday, yet another front stalled offshore next Saturday.
