<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON ZONES 624 AND 625</div>
<div> </div>
<div> TUESDAY</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level flow will be generally west-southwest ahead of a weak trough about 400 miles west of the southern Oregon Coast. That trough will approach during the day, but it is weak and mainly headed toward California, so its
primary effect will be a few mid and high clouds over the region. No rain is likely. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">The trough moves into California on Wednesday leaving a weak ridge over the western Oregon. South-central Oregon will see dry weather. By Thursday a weakening front drags across northwestern Oregon for some light rain but
no moisture is likely to make it this far south. By Friday a deep upper low is about 600 miles west of Vancouver Island. This helps to build a ridge over the region for dry weather and warmer temperatures. </div>
