Yep, a low pressure area is off the coast of northern Oregon and is pumping moisture northward thanks to a disturbance rotating up on the east side of the low. The low will drift southeastward this evening, pushing into central Oregon tonight. This is bringing showers across the area today with light winds, the high today near 54. The activity becomes more isolated tonight, still the light winds, lows near 42.
A trough pushes down into the area from the northwest tomorrow so you see an increase in shower activity in the morning hours that becomes more isolated in the afternoon, before becoming more widely scattered tomorrow night, winds westerly 4-8, highs near 53, lows near 43.
As for next week, the active pattern continues so look for more rain and rainshowers as additional systems work their way through with highs in the low 50s, and lows in the low 40s.
