FORECAST:
Cold front with strong gusty winds will push through sometime this morning in a brief South Westerly flow aloft, switching to a North Westerly flow aloft. The freezing level will hover in the 1000 meter range dropping back to surface tonight. Should see unsettled weather around noon with a mix of sun and cloud as the upper trough pushes through and the ridge begins to build. Tuesday will see sunny weather and inverted temperatures as the warm ridge strengthens and dominates the pattern in the Pacific Northwest. A few days of warm sunny weather, may see some cloud and a slight chance of a shower on Thursday, as a weak front brushes the coast, more on that in the next post. Guesstimates: 4-6 cm above 1000 m by Tuesday am.
Upper trough moves East, ridge begins to build. Unsettled weather by this afternoon.
