Northwest Weather Highlights / Fire Potential:

A weak cold front provided a little light rain mainly to western Washington and northwest Oregon. This will be followed by an upper trough today for widely scattered showers over the region and possibly a few thundershowers east of the Cascades. Warming and drying expected to return as high pressure and offshore flow returns for the second half of the week.
