We describe in this paper some of the findings of the Yohkoh satellite about the coronal structure surrounding dark filaments in the pre-event and initial phases of high latitude arcade formation events. The knowledge of pre-event structure and its change is essential for the proper understanding of the arcade flaring process from the causality point of view. The wide dynamic range and high sensitivity obervations by Yohkoh allow us to look into the faint structures and their changes with the use of a faint-feature-enhancing technique in the image analysis.
