<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR THE WESTERN OREGON AREA FORECAST ZONES 601-623</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level low will gradually dissipate today and move to the east. Showers will be on the decrease this afternoon and evening. Upper level flow will then turn more northerly as a trough moves down from Canada. Low level
flow will maintain an onshore flow. Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of some light showers on Saturday. Air mass will be mostly unstable and with modest onshore flow, will make for fair to good smoke dispersion.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (SUNDAY - TUESDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level flow turns NW’erly Sunday and Monday with low level flow light but favoring onshore flow. Expect mostly fair skies with some morning low clouds but clearing during the day. Another trough develops off the coast
later Monday and moves in late Monday to early Tuesday, bringing an increased chance of moisture Tuesday. Air mass, which stabilizes some on Sunday and Monday, will destabilize again Tuesday. Smoke dispersion will be mostly fair Sunday and Monday, improving
on Tuesday.</div>
