The first written forecasts/instructions will be issued Monday afternoon (March 30). Once it dries out enough to allow burning, remember to get your units registered into the data system and report your accomplishments. Also, note that we are changing the method for mailing forecasts. This will allow folks in the field to get onto, or off of, the distribution by simply visiting the link at the bottom of the forecasts.

DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON ZONES 624 AND 625 A cool upper trough and associated surface cold front will push through the region on Tuesday. The cooler air aloft will keep the atmosphere unstable for high mixing heights and good smoke dispersal. Rainfall will be fairly light but most areas should see measurable precipitation. OUTLOOK (WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY): An area of higher pressure aloft Tuesday night will give way to an approaching cold front Wednesday night and early Thursday. This will lose strength as it moves through, but should also produce precipitation most areas. By Friday higher pressure will build in and the atmosphere should begin to stabilize leading to less favorable smoke dispersal conditions. 2. DISPERSION TUESDAY Mixing height above 5000 ft throughout the day. Mixing height lowers to 4000 - 5000 ft during the evening. Transport wind WNW to NW at 19 - 33 mph during the morning. Transport wind increases to WNW to NW at 23 - 41 mph during the afternoon and evening. Surface wind SSW to WSW at 8 - 12 mph during the morning. Surface wind shifts to W to WNW and increases to 15 - 25 mph during the afternoon then decreases to WSW to WNW at 10 - 16 mph during the evening. OUTLOOK: WEDNESDAY Mixing height 3400 - 4400 ft during the morning and through the afternoon. Transport wind NW to NNW at 10 - 18 mph during the morning becoming W to NW at 10 - 18 mph during the afternoon.
