.DISCUSSION...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING SOUTHWARD INTO
WASHINGTON AND OREGON THIS WEEKEND...AND WILL RESULT IN DRY AND
COOL WEATHER THROUGH MONDAY. THIS PATTERN IS RESULTING IN SOME
GUSTY EAST WIND FURTHER NORTH...AROUND MOUNT HOOD...BUT THESE
STRONG EASTERLIES HAVE NOT YET AFFECTED THE BURN AREA. THE WIND
NEAR THE BURN AREA IS BEING MORE INFLUENCED BY A THERMAL TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE EXTENDING NORTHWARD FROM THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY INTO
SOUTHERN OREGON...CAUSING NORTHWEST AFTERNOON WINDS TO FILTER UP
THE WILLAMETTE. AFTER SOME DRAINAGE WINDS TONIGHT...THIS PATTERN
WILL REPEAT ITSELF SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY A SWITCH TO EAST TO
SOUTHEAST WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE THERMAL TROUGH PUSHES CLOSER
TO THE COAST AND BUILDS NORTHWARD ALONG THE OREGON COAST.

CHANCE OF WETTING RAIN (CWR) 0.25 INCHES OR GREATER.
FORECAST WINDS ARE 10 MINUTE AVERAGES 20 FT ABOVE VEGETATION.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
