We've a rainy and cool week ahead. A string of storms are forming and poised to start arriving Tuesday. At least 3 different systems will be moving over the Pacific Northwest through the week. Locally rainfall will total close to an inch by the end of the work week.

These storms are also cool. Snow levels in the Cascades of Oregon and Washington will drop. Wednesday night and Thursday morning may see snow down to 3500ft. Up to a foot is possible. Snow levels will climb back above pass level by the weekend but wet weather will stay with us.

Bottom line, find your sou'wester and umbrella. I think you're going to need it this week.
