Showers, cooldown ahead as weekend arrives

Good Friday Morning, everyone!

We got off to a very mild start this morning, and for many, we may have already seen the warmest part of the day. A cold, wet system continues its advance on the Pacific NW, and it will deliver a 30-40% chance of showers to Central Oregon as early as lunchtime. Highs today will be in the mid to upper 50's and northerly breezes with be gentle at 5-10 mph. Gentle breezes turn southerly tonight. A chance of rain showers may be accompanied by some snow at the upper elevations tonight as lows dip to freezing and a little below.

A chance of showers will stick with us through Saturday and Saturday night. They will taper off Sunday morning and we will get a brief break between systems. It doesn't last long. The next system pushes in Monday, and we are looking at cool, drizzly conditions staying with us through next week.
