RADAR IS SHOWING ISOLATED SHOWERS MAINLY NORTH OF
THE UMPQUA DIVIDE, EAST OF THE CASCADES AND ALONG THE CASCADES.
ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THIS AFTERNOON, BUT
MOST LOCATIONS AND HOURS COULD GET AWAY WITHOUT SEEING ANY
PRECIPITATION. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE AREA
TONIGHT WITH DRY WEATHER FORT MOST AREAS. COULD NOT RULE OUT A FEW
SHOWERS HERE AND THERE ALONG THE CASCADES AND EASTERN LAKE
COUNTY, BUT THAT IT.
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS TO FOLLOW SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY. HOWEVER A
COUPLE OF WEAK DISTURBANCES COULD BRING ISOLATED SHOWERS NORTH OF
THE UMPQUA DIVIDE AND NORTHERN CASCADES WEDNESDAY MORNING, THEN
AGAIN LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. -PETRUCELLI

CASCADES THIS AFTERNOON, BUT CONTINUING INTO THIS EVENING
FROM THE CASCADES EASTWARD. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS ALSO
POSSIBLE NEAR OR EAST OF THE WARNER MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON.
OVERALL, EXPECT A MIX OF MVFR/VFR CEILINGS WITH LOCAL IFR THIS
MORNING, GRADUALLY BREAKING TO VFR MOST AREAS THIS AFTERNOON. EVEN
SO, ANY STRONGER SHOWER COULD STILL BRING BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS.
AREAS OF IFR/MVFR ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST THIS
EVENING WITH VFR CONTINUING FOR INLAND AREAS. PATCH MVFR MAY ALSO
DEVELOP INLAND OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY ALSO RETURN TO
THE COAST AND UMPQUA LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY WEDNESDAY. -SPILDE
