Impoving weather next few days

Good morning to all.

With the flow aloft tomorrow switching to more of NWLY direction due to a trough clipping us by, we should see improving conditions during the afternoon hours as a frontal system swings through our region with precip ending from North to south. And if you look at the 700/850mb chart for tomorrow evening along with the 500mb chart for tomorrow afternoon, you can the low-mid level airmass starts to dry out during this time frame. So for tomorrow, would say some showers here/ there with clearing skies by late afternoon into evening hours, or at the very least, precip coming to an end. With this NWLY dry flow aloft, would think that we should see mostly sunny skies for Thurs, though still a bit cool with highs in the upper 40`s to around 50 as per the MRF-MOS(Medium Range Forecast - Model Output Statistics)

And from what is seen on the GFS/ GEM/ MRF, it appears that Friday could also be a dry day.....again....highs around 50 to lower 50`s with perhaps partly to mostly sunny skies. However, may see increasing clouds Fri as the next system, a trough, appears to come through for the weekend with showers at times and snow in the Cascades.
