A low pressure system will approach the Pacific Northwest bringing showers across portions of southern Oregon and northern California. Thunderstorms have the best chances of forming from the Coast Range to just east of the Cascades. If storms form, a few of them may become strong with gusty winds and hail possible. Our RADAR at KMAX is undergoing refurbishment this week, and will not be available. If a warning is issued for your area, seek shelter. The good news is that the showers will start bringing some much needed rain to the area and to some of these fires.

After a long period of dry conditions it's very important for those traveling to use extra caution when encountering the first rainfall.
