As expected, we have a weak low pressure area centered west of northern Oregon that is drifting southward. This will continue to give us a slight chance of a light shower this afternoon that further eases tonight as the low moves southwest of the area. The winds will be easing tonight becoming light and variable, lows near 44.
Tomorrow the low will be just west of northern California which gives us a slight chance of some wrap-around showers in the morning that ride in the flow, back up over the area, otherwise we see a partly sunny day with winds becoming westerly 5-10, the high near 64. Look for partly cloudy skies tomorrow night, light winds, lows near 45.
It appears Wednesday will start out partly sunny and dry with winds becoming westerly 4-8, the high near 60 then a disturbance moves up into the area in the southeasterly flow and gives us a slight chance of showers Wednesday night into Thursday with the highs near 57, lows near 45.
Friday the low to the south finally weakens but then another low develops to the northwest then moves southeastward and gives us a chance of showers under mostly cloudy skies from Friday through the weekend with highs near 55, lows near 44.
