<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "><font face="Consolas, monospace"> </font></div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">An upper level low pressure area will move to off the Washington coast Wednesday. This will give southwesterly flow aloft to the region. A Pacific weather system embedded in that southwesterly flow will spread rain eastward
beginning in the morning. Amounts should be around 1/10<font size="1"><sup>th</sup></font> of an inch. High mixing heights will give good smoke dispersal conditions.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (THURSDAY-SATURDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">The upper low weakens – the remaining trough slowly moves east across the Pacific Northwest. There will still be enough moisture for some scattered showers. Mixing heights should be quite high for good smoke dispersal conditions.
By Friday upper ridging develops in the eastern Pacific. Dry and warmer conditions are on tap for Friday and Saturday. Warmer afternoon temperatures will push mixing heights above 5000 feet for generally good smoke dispersal conditions. </div>
