Showers at times through late week. Thoughts?

After we get rid of this spinning area of low pressure off the coast for mid week, it appears that some models want to keep the 'showers at times' theme going into late week.

And as shown by the 12zEURO and 500mb 18zGFS chart, it appears yet another low, this time a nearly cut-off low, appears to land it`s self right off the WA/OR coast and sending at least a few showers over our region. Though this low is weak, it`ll likely give mainly clouds but with showers thrown in. And it may be a bit coolish as 850mb temps appear to be around -6c with thicknesses in the lower 520`s. So if this pans out, the Cascades/Olympics may pick up a little snow at times. And for later in the week into the upcoming weekend, this low moves into our region and also fades out/ gets adsorbed into the near zonal flow. So our weather this week will continue to be a little unsettled with main action and upper level jet being aimed right at California right through this weekend.
