Looking at 18ZGFS, I see no real change in the weather pattern for next week as we`ll remain dry, highs in the 70`s, and daily chances of storms over the Cascades/ east of the Cascades for the next several days as occasional pieces of energy look to be embedded in the persistent upper level trough that looks to be over us into much of next week. Long term GFS after next weekend, still seems to play around with a ridge of sorts over the Western US. We`ll see.
