.DISCUSSION...A dry and gradually warming pattern will take hold
of the region through the course of the week heading into early
next week. Winds, however, are expected to be light, outside of
the usual breeziness through the Cascade Gaps. Critical conditions
are not anticipated through the next week as a result.
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
***CWR-chance of wetting rain 0.10 or greater***
***Ventilation Index is derived from the
transport wind multiplied by the mixing
height in 100`s of feet. Index 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.***
Note: Max transport winds may not occur
at the same time as max mixing height.
