<div style="padding-left: 18pt; "> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Surface high pressure centered over southwest Montana will keep northeast Oregon dry early on Monday. But a Pacific cold front crossing the cascades should bring rain to the area late afternoon and overnight. Mixing heights
will be suppressed somewhat ahead of the front for marginal to fair smoke dispersal conditions. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 12pt; "> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (TUESDAY-THURSDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">An upper level trough in the Gulf of Alaska will dominate weather through the outlook period. The trough will move slowly eastward and be exiting the region by Friday. Several weather systems will rotate around that upper
system and affect the area. This will keep showers or light rain going throughout the outlook period Mixing heights should remain high during the afternoons for favorable smoke dispersal conditions. </div>
