<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; ">WEDNESDAY</div>
<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; ">A slow transition out of the sunny and dry weather pattern of the past few days begins on Wednesday <font face="Courier New, monospace">–</font> but slow is the operative word here. An upper low continues in
the vicinity of southern California and a ridge of high pressure over the Pacific Northwest is shunting weather systems well to the north. The upper ridge will edge east during the day but Wednesday will be another day of hazy sunshine, low mixing heights and
light transport winds. Mixing heights will be around 2000 feet or less most areas except the southern Cascades. Low level flow should switch to onshore most areas but they will remain light and somewhat variable.</div>
<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; ">EXTENDED OUTLOOK (THURSDAY <font face="Courier New, monospace">–</font> SATURDAY)</div>
<div style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt; ">The upper ridge will have moved east by Thursday and an upper short wave will be approaching from the southwest. This will increase cloudiness throughout the day and by late in the afternoon some rain from
an associated weakening Pacific front will reach the south coast. This will spread north and east during the evening hours, but the front is weak does not look to be a big wind or rain producer. Maximum mixing heights should be considerably improved, however.
By Friday the region will be under westerly flow aloft with good onshore flow at lower levels. There will be enough moisture for areas of light rain and afternoon mixing heights will continue to increase. On Saturday an active warm front/cold front combination
will approach from the west. Rain will be on the increase during the afternoon and rain will be heavy at times Saturday night. </div>
