SUNDAY IN RESPONSE TO LOW PRESSURE MOVING THOUGH OREGON AND STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE DIVING SOUTH THROUGH ALBERTA AND BC. ENOUGH INSTABILITY
WILL REMAIN OVER THE BURN SITE TODAY TO KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS
IN THE FORECAST. THOUGH SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOW...AROUND 5000
FEET...SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED. THE WEATHER
BEGINS TO DRY OUT SUNDAY AND NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE NOSES INTO
THE REGION FROM THE WEST.
