Discussion - Saturday & Sunday
Pacific Trough/Low-Pressure influences will occur during the weekend. This means lessening inversion impacts and increased mixing heights. Southerly transport winds will also increase and be steady to strong across large portions of the area during the afternoon. The weekend period looks to be a partial clean-out event although pockets of poor-moderate could still occur during the afternoons due to the lack of horizontal flow in a few locations. Precipitation chances will also increase, especially on Sun.

Pacific Trough/Low-pressure influences will remain earlier half of next week.  This means abundant mixing outside of the main rain areas and generally steady to perhaps stronger southerly wind flows. Transport winds on Wed could fluctuate a bit more depending on the track and position of the low-pressure area. Clean-out conditions will continue during this period. Abundant precipitation also expected during this period.
