<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA ZONES 630-638</div>
<div> </div>
<div>MONDAY</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">An upper level low moves into SW Oregon/Northern California during the day. This will produce showers throughout the region with heaviest amounts in southern zones. The air mass will be cool and snow is possible above 4500
feet ASL. Mixing heights will be fairly high for fair to good smoke dispersal conditions. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (TUESDAY-THURSDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">High pressure aloft develops offshore with the upper low tracking across Nevada and Utah on Tuesday. Showers should decrease rapidly during the day. By Wednesday a thermal trough is well established in central California
for a generally northerly transport wind. Also by Wednesday the upper ridge moves over the area and will dominate area weather for Wednesday and Thursday with dry weather likely. Sunshine and daytime heating will help keep maximum mixing heights high throughout
the outlook period but the clear skies will aid radiational cooling for nighttime inversions and very low mixing conditions during the overnight period. </div>
