WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS CLEAR
SKIES AND CALM CONDITIONS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
THE WORK WEEK AS AN EXITING TROUGH LEAVES ZONAL FLOW BEHIND IT. A
WARMING TREND IS ALSO EXPECTED WITH THIS PATTERN CHANGE, WITH
HIGHS CLIMBING FROM THE MID 70S TODAY TO THE UPPER 80S BY
THURSDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ALSO BE AT THEIR COLDEST TONIGHT
WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S AND 40S, ALTHOUGH A FEW OF THE COLDEST
VALLEYS MAY APPROACH FREEZING. WIDESPREAD FROST IS NOT EXPECTED
BUT THOSE IN THE USUAL COLDER LOCATIONS MAY WISH TO PROTECT ANY
REMAINING OUTDOOR PLANTS. AFTER TONIGHT LOWS IN THE 30S ARE NOT
EXPECTED UNTIL POTENTIALLY THIS WEEKEND. MODELS CURRENTLY SHOW A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW SWINGING SOUTHEAST INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THIS
SYSTEM ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO BE COLDER TEMPERATURES AND
INCREASED CLOUD COVER.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH TOMORROW AND A WARMING TREND THROUGH LATE
WEEK. LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE WEEKEND WEATHER SYSTEM. NO CHANGES TO
NBM OUTPUT.
