.SYNOPSIS...Drier and warmer conditions will settle into

overhead. A weak system will bring light rain to the region
early next week, with potential for a stronger and wetter system
to move into the Pacific Northwest towards the end of next

including use of GPS, is recommended for navigation and camping in
these conditions.
