MAIN JET STREAM NORTH REMAINS TO THE NORTH TODAY WITH UNSEASONABLY 
WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE DISTRICT. SOME RECORD HIGHS ARE POSSIBLE 
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CASCADES.  A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE 
ONTO THE COAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THEN CROSS THE CASCADES DURING 
THE EVENING. EXPECT BREEZY CONDITIONS...EXCEPT LOCALLY WINDY THROUGH 
THE GORGE...OVER THE CASACDES...AND EAST SLOPES OF THE CASACDES.  A 
MUCH COOLER AIR MASS SETTLES OVER THE REGION THURSDAY. LONGER 
RANGE COMPUTER CHARTS SHOW AN OFFSHORE PATTERN SETTING UP FRIDAY 
...PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL GIVE CLEARING 
CONDITIONS TO THE COAST...COAST RANGE AND CASCADES...BUT VALLEY 
INVERSIONS COULD BE QUITE PERSISTENT...ESPECIALLY AWAY FROM THE 
COLUMBIA GORGE.  THIS MAY ALLOW FOR MORNING FOG TO PERSIST INTO THE 
AFTERNOON OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WILLAMETTE VALLEY.
