<div>1. DISCUSSION AND FORECAST FOR NORTHEAST FORECAST AREA ZONES 630-638</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level ridge will continue to build along the coast today keeping the air mass stable and wind flow light. Expect mostly fair skies with some fog in the low-lying regions. Smoke dispersion will remain poor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (THURSDAY - SATURDAY):</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Upper level ridge begins to weaken Thursday as a dry cold front approaches. Upper low behind the front will drop into the state from the north and bring much cooler conditions beginning Friday. Wind flow turns onshore and
increases. As the low drops southward, cold arctic-like air will move in Saturday bringing the coldest conditions of the season. Wind flow turns offshore to northerly. Colder air moving in aloft plus increasing wind flow will improve smoke dispersion considerably
on Saturday.</div>
<div> </div>

<div>3. BURNING INSTRUCTIONS FOR NORTHEAST OREGON ZONES 630-638</div>
<div> The following considerations should be adhered to in addition to</div>

<div> ==================================================================</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">Unfavorable burning situation due to very poor smoke dispersion. Delay ignitions until 10 a.m. Avoid ignitions within 20 miles in all directions of SSRAs. For units that will smolder significantly through the night avoid
burning within at least 35 miles in all directions of SSRAs. Recommend against burning units that will smolder significantly overnight. Complete ignitions by 3 p.m. </div>
