LAND MANAGEMENT FORECAST
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OREGON
500 AM PST Wed Jan 08 2003

Discussion: High pressure east of the Cascades will keep the forecast
area in a dry offshore flow through at least Thursday. A stable air
mass under an upper level ridge will favor the development of fog and
clouds in the inland valleys. The upper ridge will begin to break
down by Friday allowing a front to move over the Pacific Northwest
during the weekend.
