Memorial Day will have near normal temperatures, but southwest to west winds will increase. Drier conditions will continue through most of Monday, and with the stronger winds, precautions should be taken with open flames. The next cold front will arrive Monday afternoon at the coast, and will bring rain mostly to areas west of the Cascades Monday into Tuesday.
With warmer temperatures on the way, it’s good to remember that area waterways remain cold and rivers are swift. Wear a life jacket, limit time in cold water, never swim alone and have a flotation device that can be thrown to someone in need.
