Oregon in the morning and across eastern Oregon during the afternoon. Cold air
aloft will drop the snow level to 4000 feet north and 5000 feet south with
daytime heating helping to destabilize the air mass and maintain widespread
shower activity. Temperatures will be well below normal. Smoke dispersal
conditions will be fair to good with moderately high mixing heights and onshore
transport winds. The flow aloft is forecast to slowly turn more northerly
overnight, with the air mass stabilizing and drying. A few showers could

Friday with the flow aloft drying and turning north-northwesterly. That will
finally put an end to the long stretch of very wet weather with skies clearing
and transport winds turning more northerly. Even with some June sunshine, cool
air aloft will keep surface temperatures slightly below normal. Subsidence,
associated with the building upper-level ridge, will likely cap afternoon
mixing heights between 3000 and 5000 feet. The upper-level ridge will move
over western Oregon Saturday and eastern Oregon Sunday for dry and warmer
conditions. Transport winds will turn offshore with surface temperatures
warming to above normal both days. Daytime heating should make for high
afternoon mixing heights. Increasing southwesterly flow aloft may turn
transport winds onshore late Sunday, especially north.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
