.DISCUSSION...

THE COLD FRONT JUST OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST WILL BEGIN TO
SLOWLY SHIFT INLAND TODAY AND TONIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE SLOW
PROGRESSION OF THIS FRONT...TODAY WILL BE MILD AND DRY WITH
INCREASING CLOUDS. BY TUESDAY THE TROUGH WILL SWING INLAND
PUSHING A WET COLD FRONT THROUGH THE CASCADES. THIS WILL RESULT
IN SIGNIFICANT COOLING AND A GOOD CHANCE OF WETTING RAINS ABOVE
5000 FEET IN THE CASCADES...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE CASCADE CREST.
