.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS NORTH OF THE AREA TODAY. AT

LEAD TO INCREASING OFFSHORE FLOW. THE NET RESULT WILL BE
INCREASING WINDS OVER THE RIDGETOPS AND MID SLOPES. HOWEVER WINDS
WILL BE LIGHT OVER THE VALLEYS DUE TO AN INVERSION. THE OFFSHORE
FLOW WEAKENS TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINING NORTHEAST OF THE REGION. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH

INVERSION THOUGH PRECIPITATION WILL BE MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE
CASCADES.
