.DISCUSSION...Dry conditions with light winds return today, and
will persist through Monday. A weak system passage Tuesday will
bring light mountain showers, increased afternoon RHs, and breezy
winds through Cascade Gaps and Columbia Basin. Temperatures will
remain near to below normal.
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages ***
***CWR: Chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater ***
***Ventilation Index is derived from transport wind
multiplied by the mixing height in 100`s of ft.
Categories are a generalized indicator and users
are encourage to develop criteria that are
suitable and representative of dispersion
conditions in their local area of interest.
Categories: low (< 200), moderate (200-500),
high (500-700), and very high (> 700).
-Note: Max transport winds may not occur
at the same time as max mixing height. ***
