scattered showers, mainly in zones 633-638. Temperatures will be slightly
cooler than on Sunday, but daytime heating may combine with cooling aloft to
produce a few afternoon thunderstorms. On Tuesday, a flat and transitory
upper-level ridge will turn the flow aloft northwesterly with some drying and
stabilizing of the air mass. Temperatures will likely remain slightly below
normal under partly cloudy skies with just a slight chance of a shower.
Westerly flow aloft will drive a Pacific frontal system into Washington and
northern Oregon Wednesday. Skies will turn mostly cloudy with slightly cooler
temperatures and a chance of showers. Smoke dispersal conditions should be
fair to good during the period, although transport winds will be light on
Tuesday.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
