Unsettled Air Brings Cool Temperatures, Mostly Cloudy Skies, and the Possibility of Precipitation

The ridge of high pressure that has been keeping weather systems from pushing down into southern Oregon and northern California has shown signs of weakening and an upper level low pressure system is expected to move over the area to start the weekend and with it a slight chance of measurable precipitation.
