<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">An upper level ridge in the eastern Pacific and Gulf of Alaska will dominate weather this week. At the surface a strong surface high pressure area drops out of Canada and heads towards the northern Rockies. With subsiding
air aloft mixing heights will be suppressed. Expect very light winds. The National Weather Service has issued an Air Stagnation Advisory for south central Oregon at least through Friday. Poor smoke dispersal conditions on Tuesday will further deteriorate
Wednesday and Thursday. </div>
