For the Forecast, a warm front is moving East as the low pressure continues to spill cloud into the area in a Southwesterly flow aloft.  Cloudy skies today, increasing this evening as a cold front (Occluded Front) moves into the zone for Saturday bringing cloudy skies and light precipitation. The rain should be short lived as the upper ridge in the Pacific bounces back bringing sunny skies and warmer temperatures into the area for Sunday afternoon into Wednesday. A trough is expected to bring some moisture to the area on Wednesday, but that is a ways off. Still a good chance the high pressure will prevail into the end of the week with some convective cloud development.

    As of 07:00 hrs we have a stratus layer with cirrus cloud above. Unlimited visibility at 2240 meters.

    Moisture heading our way for Friday evening into Saturday.
