The Science:  

Current Observations:

Precipitation:  0

Pass temperature: 45

Winds: 0-5 SSE

The diurnal (24hr) temperatures will remain consistent (L30’s/H50’s) with light SSE flow.  Freezing levels will be +- 8-10,000’.   

The high pressure system that has dominated the weather pattern will slowly begin to weaken over the next 3-5 days.  A low pressure system developing in the Gulf of Alaska will begin it move toward the PNW early next week.  Exact impacts are still very much in question.  However, a change to a more seasonal wet weather pattern is likely.
