Short term: The moisture will dry up later today as high-pressure builds over the eastern Washington. A cooling trend influenced by arctic air filtering in from Canada will also play a part in our weather for the next few days.
Long-term: Dry and cool will be the norm through Thursday/Friday. A large low- pressure system circulating in the Gulf of Alaska will push weak systems through on the weekend.
