SHORT TERM /Through Wednesday Night/

Weak Pacific cold front will bring light rain to northern zones tonight, ending before sunrise. Total precipitation will be .10 inch at most. Southern zones will be cloudy but dry.

Wednesday looks mostly sunny, breezy, and warm as an upper ridge amplifies over the interior western US while a trough deepens in the eastern Pacific. Southeasterly surface winds will increase to 15 to 25 mph, and with skies becoming mostly sunny, high temps both Wednesday and Thursday will be 65 to 72 degrees in southern valleys, near record highs for those days.

An upper level ridge will remain over the area on Thursday with strong southwest flow aloft with multiple low pressure systems offshore in the Gulf of Alaska.

A cold front will approach the area on Friday. Gusts 35-50 mph are possible on Friday across the open terrain of southeast Oregon with gusts 20-40 mph elsewhere.
