It is looking like a rather wet and cooler week ahead with several rounds of weather systems moving through the Pacific Northwest.  The wettest days are currently looking to be Wednesday and Thursday, with the chance of thunderstorms and breezy winds midweek. We will also see cooler air start to bring the snow levels down to the higher mountain passes later this week.
