.DISCUSSION...A DEEP MARINE LAYER COMBINED WITH ONSHORE FLOW IS
PUSHING COASTAL LOW CLOUDS UP THE MCKENZIE RIVER VALLEY TO NEAR
THE FIRE SITE THIS MORNING. THE MARINE LAYER IS SLIGHTLY DEEPER
THIS MORNING DUE TO AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLOWLY
MOVING SOUTHWARD FROM WASHINGTON. THIS SAME UPPER LOW MAY TRIGGER
A FEW CUMULUS BUILDUPS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE BETTER CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE THURSDAY AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES A
BIT MORE UNSTABLE. TEMPERATURES AND RH TODAY AND THURSDAY WILL BE
SIMILAR TO TUESDAY...WITH GOOD HUMIDITY RECOVERY OVERNIGHT.
