Shortwave energy tracking across the Pacific Northwest will keep temperatures somewhat in check for Sunday and Memorial Day. Breezes should pick up a bit with the passing trough, but be well below advisory levels. Tuesday and Wednesday will start a slight warming trend as an upper level ridge pumps up along the West Coast. We will probably see cumulus buildup over the Crest each afternoon, particularly from Sunday onward with a slight chance of thunderstorm activity. Other wise dry conditions will prevail through at least the mid part of next week.
