.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH MIDDAY SATURDAY THEN A WEAK
RIDGE MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS RIDGE WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
PUSH ANY PRECIPITATION NORTH OF THE BURN AREA...BUT ABUNDANT MID AND HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDINESS WILL BE OVER THE REGION. COOL CONDITIONS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY SHOULD LIMIT ANY UPVALLEY FLOW EACH DAY. SO...AS THE RIDGE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION...WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE. OTHERWISE DRY
CONDITIONS NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED AGAIN
BY TUESDAY. LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED NEXT WEEK.
