<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New"'>An upper low moves rapidly across the eastern
Pacific during the day on Tuesday. A surface cold front associated with
this low will bring rain back to the region. Rain will reach the region
by evening but amounts will be light. The front and upper low move
rapidly through the region and by Wednesday a strong ridge pops up to the
west. Subsidence with this ridge will depress maximum mixing heights somewhat
but smoke dispersal conditions should remain fair. The upper ridge moves
eastward across the region on Thursday further stabilizing the
atmosphere. Expect smoke dispersal conditions to be generally poor.
