<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR THE WESTERN OREGON AREA FORECAST ZONES 601-623</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">The Pacific Northwest seems to be stuck in a pattern of persistent troughiness. The upper trough that was over the region Sunday will drift east and another weak upper trough will approach from the west. This will keep the
atmosphere unstable and keep the chance for a shower or two in the forecast. The instability will provide for good mixing heights and smoke dispersal conditions should be generally good. Low level flow will be onshore limiting burning opportunities near coast
range corridors leading to the Willamette Valley. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (TUESDAY - THURSDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level flow finally consolidates during the day on Tuesday with a westerly flow aloft developing. The atmosphere stabilizes somewhat although smoke dispersal conditions should still be in the fair to good category. Low
level flow will remain generally onshore (westerly or northwesterly) throughout the outlook period. </div>
