AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
230 AM PST SUN DEC 18 2005

.SYNOPSIS...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
WEAKEN AS A SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE AREA TODAY AND IS EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO MON. THIS SYSTEM COULD BRING
FREEZING RAIN TO THE NORTH HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY THE
COLUMBIA GORGE. FREEZING RAIN WILL REMAIN A THREAT IN THE COLUMBIA
GORGE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...DEFORMATION BAND OF PRECIPITATION LAST NIGHT THAT
BROUGHT LIGHT FREEZING PRECIPITATION TO THE SOUTH WILLAMETTE VALLEY
LOCATIONS IS HAS ALL BUT DISSIPATED AND LAY ALONG A LINE FROM CLATSOP
COUNTY TO SOUTHERN CLACKAMAS COUNTY AT 2 AM. BIGGER CONCERN IS LATER
TODAY AND MON AS MODELS SHOWS STRONGER FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHING
FROM THE SOUTH BRINGING MOISTURE AND THREAT OF FREEZING PRECIP.
CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE FREEZING PRECIPITATION THREAT WILL BE IN THE
GORGE...FOOTHILLS...CENTRAL AND NORTHERN WILLAMETTE VALLEY...NORTH
COAST RANGE...AND CLARK AND COWLITZ COUNTIES. EXPECT WIND IN THE
GORGE TO PEAK LATER TODAY AS GRADIENT THROUGH THE GORGE INCREASES
WITH APPROACH OF LOW PRES SYSTEM.  WARM FRONT REACHES THE SOUTHERN
AREAS BY 22Z SUN...THEN UP TO THE NORTH AROUND 03Z. ETA BUFR SOUNDING
FOR KPDX IMPLIES A MIXTURE OF PRECIP TYPES 06Z MON. MAY EVEN GET A
BRIEF BURST OF SNOW OR SLEET IN THE GORGE AND AREAS NEAR GORGE OUTLET
BEFORE SWITCHING TO FREEZING RAIN. THE GORGE WILL LIKELY BE
TREACHEROUS SUN NIGHT. HAVE UPGRADED WINTER STORM WATCH TO WARNING
FOR THE MORNING ISSUANCE.

STRONG EAST WINDS CONTINUE TO BLOW THROUGH THE GORGE...TOUGH HAVE
EASED A BIT DURING THE NIGHT. WIND GUSTS IN THE EAST
PORTLAND/VANCOUVER METRO AREA APPROACHED HIGH WIND LEVELS SAT
AFTERNOON WITH THE APPROACH OF A WEAK SYSTEM. THE ETA12 MODEL
CONTINUES TO INDICATE STRONGER EASTERLY WINDS IN THE 50 TO 55 KT
RANGE AT AROUND 925 MB FOR LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...WHICH COULD SURFACE AT TIMES AS FLOW REVERSAL ABOVE 850
MB DEVELOPS. CONFIDENCE HIGH ENOUGH FOR HIGH WIND WARNING ISSUANCE.

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
12Z GFS SOLUTION TRENDING MORE TOWARDS BETTER PERFORMING ECMWF WITH
SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE ON THURS PUSHING NORTHWARD OVER THE RIDGE
RATHER THAN SPLITTING INTO A SOUTHERN STREAM. SOME SPREAD IN
ENSEMBLES WITH MOST MEMBERS IN AGREEMENT WITH EC SOLUTION...HOWEVER
HAVE NOT TOTALLY ELIMINATED THE POSSIBILITY OF A SPLITTING SYSTEM
GIVEN STRONG NORTHWESTERLY UPPER JET PUSHING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL
CALIF COAST. THUS...MADE ONLY MINOR CHANGES IN GRIDS...MAINLY A
SLIGHT BUMP UP IN TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD
OF 558+ THICKNESSES BY MID/LATE NEXT WEEK. ONLY EXCEPTION TO THIS
WOULD BE IN THE COLUMBIA GORGE WHERE LOW LEVEL EASTERLIES WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO PULL CONTINENTAL AIR WESTWARD UNTIL A MORE SIGNIFICANT
SURFACE WARM FRONT VEERS THE FLOW MORE SOUTHERLY ON THURS.

&&

.AVIATION...RATHER DRY AIR MASS WITH CONTINUE OFFSHORE FLOW. THRU
GORGE PRESSURE GRADIENTS HOLDING AROUND 9 TO 10 MB OFFSHORE...SO
EXPECT STRONG EAST WINDS THROUGH THE WESTERN GORGE TO CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT. SHOULD BE ENOUGH OFFSHORE FLOW TO KEEP MOST AREAS FOG
FREE. ONLY CONCERN IS A LIGHT BAND OF FREEZING RAIN AND/OR SLEET
OCCURRING BETWEEN SALEM AND EUGENE. SHOULD DISSIPATE AS MOVES N INTO
MUCH DRIER AIR. WILL STILL HAVE LOCAL POCKETS OF LIFR CONDITIONS AT
KEUG AFTER MIDNIGHT. CURRENT TAFS LOOK REASONABLE SO NO MAJOR
CHANGES EXPECTED FOR UPCOMING 06Z TAFS.
TAFCASTER...ROCKEY.
&&

.MARINE...SOLID SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ON THE OPEN WATERS.
NO CHANGE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. AFTERWARDS...WILL
HAVE TO DEAL WITH INCREASING WINDS. POSTED GALE WARNING...MAINLY FOR
GUSTS...FOR SUN EVENING INTO MON. SWELL HOLDS AROUND 10 TO 12 FT...
BUT LOOKS LIKE STEADILY BUILDING SWELL FOR MON NIGHT. WILL BE 20 TO
24 FT TUE INTO THU AS A MUCH MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN SETS UP FOR
THE NE PAC.
