A WEAK DISTURBANCE IS TRIGGERING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS
MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN OREGON...BUT THESE WILL LIKELY REMAIN WELL
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE PROJECT AREA.  WIND WILL LIKELY BE MAINLY
TERRAIN-DRIVEN THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH PERHAPS SOME WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS EACH AFTERNOON.

THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME EAST WINDS LATER IN THE WEEK...
BUT IF THEY DO OCCUR IT WOULD BE A MUCH WEAKER EPISODE THAN LAST
SATURDAY. EAST WINDS MAY ALSO OCCUR DIURNALLY AS DRAINAGE WINDS
DEVELOP OFF THE SISTERS EACH NIGHT.
