06Z TAFs.. MVFR or lower conditions to prevail through the period. Vsby is expected to remain VFR at sites DlS/PDT/YKM/ALW/PSC through the period, however freezing fog with visibilities of 1/4SM to 1 1/2SM will impact sites RDM/BDN through the morning period. CIGs will gradually drop throughout tonight, but remain MVFR at sites DLS/PSC, IFR or higher at sites PDT/YKM/ALW, with IFR/LIFR CIGs at sites RDM/BDN through the period. A system passing to the east of the region tomorrow may help to breakdown low level temperature inversions over the TAF sites, but confidence is low (15-20%) in inversions breaking enough for stratus to briefly dissipate tomorrow afternoon.
Otherwise, winds will remain light through the period. Lawhorn/82

DISCUSSION
Current satellite imagery shows a low stratus layer across the Columbia Basin area extending to Central OR. While majority of freezing fog has lifted over North-Central OR and Foothills-Southern Blue Mountain of OR, the webcams are currently showing ongoing freezing/dense fog along US-97 between Cow Canyon and Shaniko.
The northwesterly flow dominates the region with the upper ridge along the PacNW coast through work week. Thanks to the low stratus layer and temperature inversions, this will help keep high temps in the 30s and 40s. The boundary layer will remain dry from the ongoing subsidence, which will assist in lowering dewpoints and temps to near or below freezing during overnight hours. That said, freezing/dense fog could redevelop during early morning hours and night hours. Uncertainty still remain on the strength of the fog and extent, but we will monitor the forecast area and make any adjustments if need be. HRRR raw ensembles show a 15-30% probability for visibilities less than 1/2SM but 30-40% prob during morning hours for tonight through early Tuesday morning, which might impact driving conditions.
With the ongoing inversions, stagnant air conditions will continue for the next few days with low low transport winds (10 mph or less)
and mixing heights around 1.5 kft or lower. Any pollutants, haze, and/or smoke may still be trapped near surface level thus resulting poor ventilation, keeping Air Stagnation advisories in place until late Tuesday afternoon. Feaster/97
