<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA ZONES 630-638</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">A Pacific cold front will stall in western Oregon during the day on Monday leaving areas east of the Cascades dry. Warm southerly flow will stabilize conditions and mixing heights will be somewhat suppressed. Smoke dispersal
conditions should be marginal to fair with a generally southerly flow for transport winds.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (TUESDAY - THURSDAY):</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">By Tuesday some rain crosses the Cascades as a cold front moves east. Atmospheric stability will decrease for better smoke dispersal conditions. Wednesday will be dry but high mixing heights will continue. Thursday another
Pacific cold front moves into western Oregon with rain spreading to east of the Cascades during the day. Expect good to excellent smoke dispersal conditions through the outlook period. </div>
