<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "><font face="Consolas, monospace"> </font></div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">An upper level low remains in the Gulf of Alaska approximately 600 miles west of the Queen Charlotte Islands. Winds aloft over the Pacific Northwest will be from the west southwest and drive a Pacific weather front through
the region during the day. Rain will spread into the region early and continue throughout the day. Warm air streaming northward in advance of the front will suppress mixing heights a bit for just fair smoke dispersal conditions. </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; "> </div>
<div> OUTLOOK (THURSDAY-SATURDAY)</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 36pt; ">The upper low will be in about the same position on Thursday but the region will be between weather systems for mostly cloudy skies but only widely scattered showers. Cooler air aloft will push afternoon mixing heights well
above 5000 feet for good smoke dispersal conditions. Another active Pacific weather system will move across the Northwest on Friday bringing clouds and significant rain to the area. The rain will taper off Friday night and by Saturday weak surface high pressure
builds to the north for drying and warmer temperatures. Smoke dispersal conditions will be good to excellent Thursday and Friday, but light and variable winds will limit smoke movement on Saturday. </div>
