An upper level low over the pacific northwest dominates the flow pattern through next week and this will provide a southwesterly flow aloft. This will bring the potential of hit and miss showers and thunderstorms for Memorial Day and beyond. It won't constantly rain everywhere all the time but there will be a daily threat of rainfall. This pattern will hold strong through the end of next week. In other words, fairly active.
