12/22/2009 Weather
Short term: A ridge of high pressure is building off the western coast; this will produce dry and cool weather for the remainder of the week - might even get some sun.
Long-term: There is an interesting large low-pressure system developing in the Gulf of Alaska – It may be strong enough to push through the blocking ridge by the weekend. Stay tuned as that develops.
