Good Morning! This week will feature a large trough dropping into the PNW with two lobes of low pressure swinging through. These features in tandem will force a cool and wet series of days beginning Tuesday and lasting into Sunday. Today, we are just on the edge of the cooler airmass approaching. The morning will start foggy with ample fog already visible on satellite imagery. The fog will be the heaviest and linger for the most time along the immediate Coast. As the cool air mass makes its approach today, the Coast will see increasing rain chances from the North to the South and cloudy skies. Afternoon showers are likely. Inland, we will have one last day of partially sunny and warm conditions before slight rain chances develop into the late afternoon/evening. Widespread rain chances and cooling will be strongest on Wednesday and Thursday.

Good Morning. Today is going to be cloudy and moist. The morning starts relatively warm from the thick cloud layer. Our cold front is steadily moving inward with some rainfall already present along the most Northwestern areas or our region. Clouds will be consistent and darken into the late afternoon. The Valley and Basin will stay dry through the morning hours, but rainfall will begin some time in the early afternoon. Rainfall totals today will be measurable, but not heavy. With the lack of sunshine and approach of a cooler air mass, today's high temps will be down. The Struggle to hit 70 while the Basin hits the low 70's and the Coast stays in the low 60's.

Cold air remains overhead and brings a moist and cool day. Expect showers on and off with the most prominent hour being around the midday for the Valley.

Good Afternoon. Today has seen a prolonged period of overcast after a chilly morning. This is due to the cold and saturated airmass overhead fighting against a slight ridge that made a break for the West Coast. The result has been a predominant Westerly flow that has allowed for even more moisture to enter the system despite warming in the upper atmosphere. The weak ridge will win this battle on Saturday. So, you can count on a warmer start to the weekend with less cloud cover. The victory is short lived however, as a cold mass with several lobes of energy will begin to arrive Sunday. Thus, Sunday's temps will drop once again, and cloud activity will increase into the afternoon. If the timing matches the current model estimates, rain chances will pop into the area Sunday evening before Monday and Tuesday are entirely wet.

Last night's atmospheric river brought considerable rainfall this morning. More showers are to follow for the day ahead. Temps stay right at 60 with afternoon breezes.

Good Morning. Today begins with freezing temps, so frost is likely. Early observations do not suggest any fog will build through the day ahead. Today's weather will be partly sunny as slight ridging takes hold through Friday afternoon. Because of the cool airmass that remains overhead in conjunction with the freezing start, temps will remain just below 60 at their highest. Expect high clouds drifting in and out through the afternoon. Other than the chilly temps, today and tomorrow will be sunny and moderate. Friday evening, a cold front will arrive and deliver a wet system that brings a multi day rain event.

Good Morning. Today will be yet another wet one as a cold front slams into the area. The cold front carries enough energy to shake rain out of the atmosphere wide spread for most of the morning. After the mid morning, we transition to on and off showers. Cloud cover will be consistent so don't count on any sunshine. A mixture of snow and rain will fall over the mountains today with the snow level remaining locked at about 6600 feet through the morning hours before elevating into the late afternoon. Showers will continue into Tuesday morning before some clearing takes over. We have sunshine to look forward to Wednesday and Thursday with morning frost! Rainfall returns Saturday.

Good Morning. We are entering the sunniest day of the week. High pressure pushes down over the valley while a temperature inversion starts the day off. So, expect thick and patchy fog to start the day. Some areas toward the north could also see some frost as morning temps hover around the mid to high 30's at the moment. Once the fog and low clouds clear, which should be some time around noon, sunshine will grave the rest of the day. With that, temps will be warmer than Wednesday for the afternoon. Expect mid to low 60's widespread. Although today is sunny, rainfall is still set to take over this weekend and stick around for many days.

Good Morning. Today's start will be similar to Thursday. Deep and thick fog occupy much of the I5 corridor as of 450am. The fog will transition into low clouds that will slowly bake off into the afternoon hours. Above that, high clouds are streaming in as high pressure degrades. So, afternoon sunshine isn't impossible, but will be less direct today. Although this morning is near freezing, the afternoon will be slightly warmer than Thursday. At the Coast, partly cloudy skies will be present for the entire day. This weekend, a train of systems begins to aim at the PNW starting late on Saturday night and will bring rainfall all the way through the back half of next week.

A powerful storm rolls through today and brings minor flood conditions with heavy gusts for most of the day. Rainfall accumulations are heavy with snowfall over the passes closing in on 3 inches.
