THE WEATHER PATTERN

  • The Upper Level High Pressure Ridge (“Arch” shape) bubbling up from the southwest will be sparing with Upper Level Low Pressure and that will slowly change our weather toward cooler temperatures. The graphics for days 1-3 show a slow moving frontal system moving into Oregon. Another front will be approaching Wednesday. The graphics for days 3-7   Thursday through Monday show a frontal system pushing into the Pacific Northwest through Friday, yet another front will be to our northwest next Monday.
  • Note: if you are wondering where the haze is coming from you can blame wildfires in northern California and Southwestern Oregon.
