<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR THE WESTERN OREGON AREA FORECAST ZONES 601-623</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level trough is moving into the state today and will keep the air mass cool, moist, and unstable through Sunday. Moisture will be limited to minor showers. Otherwise, expect mostly cloudy skies. With excellent mixing
and breezy onshore flow, smoke dispersion will remain good to excellent.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (MONDAY - WEDNESDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level low moves by to the east Monday with showers and clouds on the decrease. Air mass will still remain cool and unstable. A flat ridge moves in early Tuesday turning wind flow offshore. Air mass stabilizes under
the clear skies and warming temperatures aloft. Offshore flow will be short-lived however as the next trough and disturbance approach Tuesday afternoon and evening. Wind flow will turn back to onshore Tuesday afternoon and be firmly onshore Wednesday as clouds
and the chance of rain increases. </div>
