<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA ZONES 630-638</div>
<div> </div>
<div> TUESDAY</div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "><font face="Consolas, monospace"> </font></div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">An upper level low remains about 6000 miles west of Vancouver Island on Tuesday. Counter clockwise flow around that low drives a Pacific weather system mainly into northern California but enough moisture spreads northward
for scattered showers throughout the region. Mixing heights will be high enough for good smoke dispersal conditions. Transport winds will be generally south to southeast.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY) </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "><font face="Consolas, monospace"> </font></div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">The upper low elongates on a NW/SE axis but remains offshore on Wednesday. Upper flow will be from the south or southeast across Oregon. There will be enough moisture for scattered showers. By Thursday the upper low consolidates
off the southwest Oregon coast. Moisture continues to stream around the low and spread south to north across the region. The low finally drifts east and a drier northerly flow sets up across the region. Expect dry weather, and with some sunshine, warmer
temperatures. Smoke dispersal conditions should remain fair to good throughout the outlook period. </div>
