AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHWESTERN U.S. BY MID

MOISTURE RETURNING INTO THE AREA AND THE RIDGE FLATTENING, SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE TOWARDS THE AREA THIS
WEEKEND AS A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE MOVES OUT OF THE GULF TOWARDS
THE THE AREA. A FRONT WILL SAG SOUTH INTO THE REGION AND INTERACT
WITH THE TROPICAL MOISTURE TO PRODUCE SHOWERS/STORMS THIS WEEKEND.
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE ONTO THE WEST COAST THIS

SHIFT EAST. THE FASTER TRACK WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR RAIN IN THE
