AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
230 PM PST SUN NOV 12 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORM SYSTEMS WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE REGION THROUGH NEXT WEEK. EXPECT WET AND COOL CONDITIONS
TO CONTINUE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
TONIGHT AND MONDAY...ALL EYES ON THE STRONG AND DYNAMIC PACIFIC
STORM ON SATTELITE RAMMING THE PACIFIC COAST THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS
HAVE HAD SOME TROUBLE INITIALIZING THE SURFACE LOW AND TRACKS OF
BOTH GFS AND NAM/WRF LOOK A BIT SUSPICIOUS. NAM SHOOTS THE LOW
THROUGH OREGON ON A SOUTHERLY TRACK WHILE GFS SENDS IT SHARPLY
NORTH INTO BC DURING THE NIGHT. SATELLITE HINTS...INCLUDING CURRENT
TRACK EXTRAPOLATION CORRECTED FOR A LIKELY TURN TO THE NORTH IN
RESPONSE TO THE BACKSIDE DIGGING WAVE SOUTHWEST OF THE QUEEN
CHARLOTTE ISLANDS...SUGGEST GFS HAS THE RIGHT IDEA...BUT NOT AS
TIGHT A TURN AS THE GFS INDICATES. THUS WILL BASE FORECAST
ON A CORRECTED EXPECTED LOW TRACK ROUGHLY FROM ASTORIA TO COLVILLE
DURING THE NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. THIS TRACK WILL PLACE THE
FORECAST AREA UNDER A STRONG ISENTROPIC PRECIPITATION SHIELD AIDED BY
DYNAMIC SUPPORT BY MUTUALLY SUPPORTING JET DIVERGENCE REGIONS ALOFT
AND FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL OROGRAPHIC ASCENT FIRST INTO THE CASCADES
THIS EVENING...THEN INTO THE MOUNTAINS NORTH AND EAST OF THE COLUMBIA
BASIN OVERNIGHT. THUS...THE EASY PART OF THE FORECAST CONCERNS THE
CURRENT HEAVY SNOW WARNINGS. THESE STILL LOOK ON TRACK WITH COPIOUS
LIFT AND MOISTURE AVAILABLE TO ACHIEVE HEAVY SNOW CRITERIA IN THE
MOUNTAINS...WITH LESSER BUT STILL SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF WET SNOW
IN THE VALLEYS. HARD PART OF FORECAST IS PRECIPITATION TYPE AT
LOWER ELEVATION SPOTS WITH ALL INDICATIONS SUGGESTING A VERY
MARGINAL TEMPERATURE/DEW POINT COMBINATION FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW IN
THE WENATCHEE-OKANOGAN VALLEY CORRIDOR AND THE SPOKANE/COEUR
DALENE REGION. GIVEN A CORRECTION APPLIED TO THE CURRENT MARGINAL
FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR THE CORRECTED SURFACE LOW TRACK...AND THE
OVERNIGHT PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM...WILL HEDGE TOWARDS A WET...SLOPPY
SNOW EVENT AT SPOKANE/CDA WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES ACCUMULATION. SINCE
THIS EVENT WILL BE THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT SNOW DURING A MORNING
COMMUTE OF THE YEAR...WILL ISSUE A SNOW ADVISORY FOR THIS EVEN
THOUGH AMOUNTS MAY NOT ACHIEVE TECHNICAL CRITERIA OF 2 TO 4 INCHES.

IN THE OKANOGAN AND WENATCHEE VALLEYS CURRENT TEMP DEW POINTS
SUGGEST A NON ACCUMULATING MIX AT WENATCHEE...WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR SOME DRY AIR TO ADVECT INTO OMAK IN THE EVENING LEADING TO A
SNOW EVENT OVERNIGHT. LIKE SPOKANE/CDA...AN INCH OR TWO ON THE
OKANOGAN VALLEY FLOOR BY MORNING IS PLAUSIBLE AND WILL ISSUE A SNOW
ADVISORY FOR THE OKANOGAN VALLEY BUT NOT WENATCHEE.

ALL OF THE ABOVE UNPLEASANTNESS WILL LIKELY OCCUR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
MONDAY PRESENTS A SHARP TRANSITION PERIOD AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT/DRY SLOT RIPS THROUGH THE REGION DRIVEN BY A 180 KNOT JET
STREAM. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO AN ABRUPT END TO BASIN
PRECIPITATION FROM WEST TO EAST SOON AFTER SUNRISE...ASSISTED BY
STRONG DOWNSLOPE OFF THE CASCADES WHICH MAY ACTUALLY ALLOW SOME
SUNSHINE IN THE DEEP BASIN ZONES. STEADY SNOW WILL TAPER OFF INTO
LOCALLY HEAVY MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHEAST AND IDAHO
PANHANDLE MOUNTAINS AND ADD ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THE
DAY. IN THE BASIN AS THE PRECIPITATION ENDS...THE WIND WILL
INCREASE. STRONG SURFACE LOW TRACKING ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER WITH
A MODERATE TO STRONG GRADIENT DEVELOPING ACROSS THE BASIN WILL
PROMOTE SUSTAINED WINDS IN THE 30 MPH RANGE WITH GUST POTENTIAL TO
40 OR 50 MPH OVER EXPOSED LOCATIONS. THUS WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY
TO BEGIN AROUND 18Z AND LAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY MONDAY
MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN BASIN ZONES WHERE STRONG GUST POTENTIAL
WILL BE GREATEST. THIS WELL MIXED SURFACE LAYER WILL ALLOW RATHER
MILD TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS MONDAY...AND LIKELY
MELT ANY OVERNIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION. /FUGAZZI

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...THIS PERIOD SHOULD BE
RELATIVELY BENIGN. THE PASSAGE OF THE SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT WILL SLIDE TO THE EAST...LEAVING MAINLY POST-FRONTAL
OROGRAPHIC SHOWERS WITHIN THE UNSTABLE WNW FLOW. THE SHOWERS WILL
BE THE MOST ENHANCED FROM THE BLUE MOUNTAINS...ACROSS THE LOWER
PALOUSE INTO THE NRN PANHANDLE MOUNTAINS...AND THEN GRADUALLY
DECREASING OVERNIGHT. THERE IS A SLIM POSSIBILITY OF ENOUGH
INSTABILITY TO SPARK A ONE HIT WONDER OF THUNDER...ALTHOUGH DONT
FEEL IT WARRANTED TO MENTION IT AT THIS TIME AND WILL CONTINUE THE
SHOWER WORDING. SNOW LEVELS DROP TO THE VALLEYS OVERNIGHT WITH SNOW
SHOWERS LINGERING IN NORTH IDAHO INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THE WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO TAPER OFF MONDAY NIGHT AS PRESSURE GRADIENTS
DECREASE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE REGION. WINDS WILL
DECOUPLE IN THE NORTHERN VALLEYS BY MORNING. THIS WITH PARTIAL
CLEARING WILL LEAD TO PATCHY FOG IN THE EARLY MORNING...SOME OF WHICH
WOULD BE FREEZING FOG BASED ON THE OVERNIGHT LOWS FORECAST. BY 18Z
TUESDAY...A WEAK RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE REGION WITH LIGHTER WINDS...
DIMINISHING FOG AND INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS. A WEAK IMPULSE WILL RIDE
OVER THE RIDGE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND HELP ENHANCE THE
MOUNTAIN SHOWERS ESPECIALLY IN THE IDAHO PANHANDLE. THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM WILL BE APPROACHING THE WEST COAST TUESDAY NIGHT. THE GFS AND
NAM HAVE SLOWED DOWN THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM WHILE AMPLIFYING THE
RIDGE. AS THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS INTO THE CENTRAL BC COAST...A WARM
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NRN CASCADES BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. HAVE
ADDED SOME TIMING FOR THE TUESDAY NIGHT FORECAST...POINTING OUT THE
BEST CHANCE OF PCPN IN ACROSS CHELAN AND OKANOGAN COUNTIES. SNOW
LEVELS WILL AGAIN DROP TO THE VALLEY FLOORS INITIALLY...DUE TO WET
BULB COOLING. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF MIXED PCPN LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT IN THE WENATCHEE AREA WITH SURFACE TEMPS BELOW FREEZING AND A
WARM LAYER OVERRIDING THE COLD AIR OVER THE EAST SLOPES. THE MAIN
BRUNT OF PCPN WILL BE DELAYED IN EXTREME ERN WA AND NORTH IDAHO FOR
TUESDAY NIGHT. /RFOX.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...MODELS AND ENSEMBLES SHOWING
BETTER THAN NORMAL CONSENSUS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD
WITH ONLY ONE MAJOR WAVE TO IMPACT THE CWA AFTER THE SEEMINGLY
ENDLESS SERIES OF SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCES OF THE PAST WEEK OR TWO.
THIS ONE MAJOR WAVE APPROACHES THE COAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
AHEAD OF THE WAVE...MODEST ASCENT IN THE 290-300K LAYER BEGINS TO
IMPACT THE AREA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST GRADUALLY BY MORNING
WEDNESDAY. WITH GFS SOUNDINGS INDICATING SUBFREEZING BOUNDARY
LAYER AIR BEING TRAPPED IN THE OKANOGAN VALLEY AND WENATCHEE
AREAS...ALONG WITH MANY OF THE NORTHERN VALLEYS OF WASHINGTON AND
FAR NORTHERN IDAHO...AND WARM AIR PUSHING IN ABOVE THE SHALLOW
LAYER OF COLD AIR...BELIEVE THE POTENTIAL FOR ICING EXISTS ON
WEDNESDAY MORNING. FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST...THE BOUNDARY LAYER
SHOULD WARM SUFFICIENTLY AS COLD AIR WILL LIKELY GET SCOURED OUT
QUICKLY...BEFORE A GOOD WARM TONGUE DEVELOPS ALOFT...SO BELIEVE
ICING POTENTIAL IS MINIMAL. AS THE WARM FRONT CROSSES THE AREA
WEDNESDAY...SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE DRAMATICALLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY...AND MIXING POTENTIAL OF HIGHER MOMENTUM FROM
ALOFT WILL LIKELY INCREASE...YIELDING MUCH BREEZIER CONDITIONS.
THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BEAR DOWN ON THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
ISENTROPIC ASCENT CONTINUES OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF THE EASTERN HALF
OF THE CWA...WHILE THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA GOES WITH MORE
SHOWERY PRECIPITATION. SHOWERS WILL LIKELY QUICKLY SHUT OFF IN
THE BASIN BY THURSDAY MORNING AS SIGNIFICANT DOWNSLOPING REARS ITS
HEAD. SHORT WAVE RIDGING IS INDICATED TO BUILD INTO THE AREA
BEGINNING THURSDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE BULK OF THE REST OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD WITH GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN GFS...ECMWF...CANADIAN
GLOBAL...NCEP MEAN...AS WELL AS 14 OF 16 CANADIAN ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
INCLUDING ALL SEF MEMBERS. THEREFORE HAVE TRENDED POPS DOWN
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM CLIMO AND DECREASED CLOUD COVER...ESPECIALLY IN
THE BASIN.

FOR TEMPERATURES...STAYED JUST BELOW MEX GUIDANCE FOR THURSDAY WITH
SIGNIFICANT CLOUDS LIKELY LIMITING OUR WARMING POTENTIAL. FOR
FRIDAY AND BEYOND...ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO TREND ABOVE MEX AS
RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE AREA...EVEN THOUGH TEMPERATURES
AT 850 MB HARDLY GET ABOVE 0C. /FRIES

.AVIATION...
MVFR CIGS WITH SNOW ABOVE 3K FT AGL/RAIN BELOW AND MT
OBSCURATIONS WITH LCL IFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE NEAR THE CASCADE
CREST AND N/E OF KCQV- KCOE- 40W KLWS. EXPECT IMPROVING
CONDITIONS AFTER 02Z IN NE WA/N IDAHO. GUSTY WINDS WILL PREVAIL FROM
THE BASIN TO KGEG-KPUW- KLWS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE THIS EVENING TO THE EAST SLOPES OF THE
CASCADES..AND THEN SPREAD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT.
ANTICIPATE WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS WITH SNOW LEVELS REACHING
THE VALLEY FLOORS OVERNIGHT...AREAS OF IFR CONDS AND MT
OBSCURATIONS. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP BY 18Z MONDAY IN THE
