.AVIATION...06Z TAFs...VFR conditions expected over the next 24
hours except for localized impacts at BDN from wildfire smoke
overnight, and possibly blowing dust tomorrow afternoon at PSC.
For now, have excluded dust in the PSC TAF due to low confidence
(70% confidence). By Tuesday morning,
the flow will then change to southwest with a weak front moving
inland of the forecast area. This could bring slight chances
(15-30%) of showers to the crest of WA Cascades Tuesday night into
Wednesday morning, leaving the remaining areas dry.

Thursday, a weak upper ridge will build over to the region before
breaking down Thursday night due to the arrival of the trough off
OR  coast. Showers could return first at the WA/OR Cascades, and
then across the Foothills including some portions of central OR
(15-30% chance). High temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s with
light winds through the period. Feaster/97
