font-family:"Courier New"'>A broad and cool upper-level trough will remain over
Washington and Oregon. The center of an embedded upper-level disturbance will
move over southwestern Oregon early in the morning and slowly progress eastward,
to over southeastern Oregon, by evening. Considerable moisture will continue
to wrap around the exiting upper-level disturbance, keeping skies mostly cloudy
across western Oregon. However, the chance of showers will be decreasing, as
the flow aloft turns northwesterly and begins to stabilize the air mass.
Onshore flow, at the transport level, will turn more northerly across the
southwestern zones. High temperatures will remain well below normal. Cool
low-level onshore flow and considerable marine clouds will combine to produce
only marginal mixing heights for late spring.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

over western Oregon Monday and drift eastward, to over eastern Oregon, on
Tuesday. Progressively more sunshine will help temperatures recover to near
normal by Tuesday. Transport winds will turn northerly Monday and Tuesday, in
the north, and perhaps slightly offshore in the south. That could present some
burning opportunities for western zones. A weak upper-level trough will bring
increasing southwesterly flow aloft on Wednesday, with a chance of showers,
cooler temperatures, and onshore flow. Moderate to high afternoon mixing
heights are expected during the outlook period.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
