AVIATION...06Z TAFs

All sites will be VFR through this period with light winds. However, high clouds may gradually return through overnight into Sunday. Feaster/97

DISCUSSION

With a bit of northerly flow aloft, we managed to clear out across the region today and the sun actually made an appearance for the first time in awhile. However, the sun will be short lived as the ridge will re-establish itself over the course of the coming week.

High pressure will build back over the region beginning on Sunday. However, a weak trough will then move over the Pacific Northwest on Monday. This trough should bring nothing more than slight chance pops (20 percent) for the Cascades. The high then rebuilds (along with fog and stratus chances) through midweek. A series of weak systems will affect mainly the mountains beyond midweek, that will break down the ridge and then build it right back up again. How much impact these systems will have on decreasing the fog and stratus remains to be seen. Ultimately, temperatures will be based on the stratus returning. If we return to being clouded/fogged in temperatures will be below normal. If we even get some breaks on some days, temperatures will be closer to normal.
