.BROADCAST DISCUSSION...ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE
OREGON CASCADES LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
MONDAY WILL BE DRY AS A PATTERN CHANGE BEGINS...WITH COOLER AND
BREEZY WEATHER WITH INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEK.

.DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW JUST SOUTHWEST OF MOUNT HOOD WILL
SLOWLY DRIFT EAST OF THE CASCADES THIS EVENING. THIS WILL TRIGGER
ONE LAST THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY
THIS EVENING OVER THE FIRE AREA. WITH MONSOON MOISTURE OVER
SOUTHEAST OREGON...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM WILL LIKELY BE A
MIX OF WET AND DRY...WITH MUCH WETTER STORMS EAST OF THE CASCADES.

THE FLOW ALOFT WILL TURN MORE WESTERLY THIS EVENING AS HIGHER
PRESSURE BUILDS ALONG THE COAST. THE RESULTING ONSHORE FLOW WILL
ALLOW HUMIDITY RECOVERIES TO IMPROVE TONIGHT OVER THE LAST FEW
NIGHTS.

A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION ON MONDAY...STARTING A
GRADUAL COOLING TREND WITH INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW.
