CASCADES...AND WALLOWA COUNTY STARTING AT 10 AM. A HIGH WIND WATCH
IS OUT FOR THE SAME AREAS AND THE BLUE MOUNTAINS STARTING AT 4 PM.
MODELS HAVE THE STRONGEST WINDS AT 850 MBS BEHIND THE FRONT BETWEEN
0-3Z...WHERE MIXING TO THE SURFACE IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR. WILL
MONITOR DEVELOPMENT OF WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND SUBSIDENCE ON WATER
VAPOR SATELLITE AND MAKE A DECISION ON POSSIBLE WARNINGS BY 11 AM.
FRONT WILL BE FAST MOVING AND SNOW LEVELS ARE HIGH ENOUGH THAT SNOW
WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM. COONFIELD

AVIATION...MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE WINDS THROUGH THIS EVENING. ALL
TAF SITES WILL SEE WIND GUSTS TO AT LEAST 30 KTS BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KDLS WHERE WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE
LIGHTER DUE TO FLOW ACROSS THE GORGE. SOME OF THE WIND GUSTS COULD
BE MUCH HIGHER THAN 30 KT. HAVE INCLUDED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AT
KPDT AND KRDM FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING AS LOW LEVEL JET IS
INCREASING ABOVE STILL STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER. WILL SEE SCATTERED
RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING MOST NUMEROUS IN

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 445 AM PST WED NOV 15 2006)

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...A COMPLEX FORECAST
EXIST FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. A PACIFIC STORM WITH A STRONG COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION TODAY AND CONTINUE TONIGHT. THE MAIN
IMPACT ON THE FORECAST AREA FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE INCREASING
WINDS IN MOST OF THE CWA. WILL HAVE MULTIPLE WIND ADVISORIES AND
HIGH WIND WATCHES IN PLACE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. WITH THE NEW 00Z
MODEL RUNS IT LOOKS THOUGH THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL
AFTER 00Z. WILL DOWNGRADE THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR TODAY TO A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE NON-MOUNTAINS ZONES WHERE THE WATCH HAD BEEN IN
EFFECT. WILL ADD THE COLUMBIA BASIN...BLUE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS
ZONES TO THE NEW WIND ADVISORY AREA FOR TODAY FROM 10 AM UNTIL 4 PM.
WILL KEEP THE GRANDE RONDE VALLEY WIND ADVISORY GOING THROUGH 03Z
TONIGHT DUE TO STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE WITH AND JUST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT DUE TO
THE BEST VERTICAL MIXING...LOCATION OF THE UPPER AND LOWER JET
STREAMS AND BEST ISENTROPIC DESCENT BEING AT ABOUT THE TIME THE COLD
FRONT CROSSES THE AREA. THE COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE AREA AROUND
00Z-03Z THIS EVENING. WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE LOWER
COLUMBIA BASIN...BLUE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS...NORTH CENTRAL OREGON
AND WALLOWA COUNTY FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS IN THESE AREAS
FROM 00Z - 09Z THIS EVENING. DUE TO THE FAST MOVING NATURE OF THIS
WEATHER SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT THERE WILL NOT BE A WHOLE LOT OF
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM. HOWEVER THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A
CHANCE IN ALL AREAS...MAKING THIS AN EVENT WITH HIGH PROBABILITY OF
PRECIP BUT LOW PRECIP AMOUNTS. A WEST TO NORTHWEST LOW LEVEL FLOW
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL KEEP UP SLOPE RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS GOING
IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY AND THEN DECREASING
THURSDAY NIGHT. SNOW LEVELS WILL JUMP ALL THE WAY UP TO 7000 FEET OR
HIGHER BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH STRONG WARM ADVECTION. SNOW LEVELS
WILL THEN LOWER AGAIN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...GRADUALLY TO ABOUT
2500-3500 FEET BY FRIDAY MORNING. THERE WILL BE ABOUT A 5 DEGREE
DROP IN MAX AND MIN TEMPERATURES FROM TODAY AND TONIGHT TO THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT. RSC

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.  A FAST WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL REMAIN OVER THE PACIFIC NW THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.  A
SERIES OF EMBEDDED WAVES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AND WILL
BRING ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS WITH THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION ALONG THE WA CASCADE CREST WHERE THE UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE STRONGEST.  A WELL ORGANIZED OCCLUDED FRONT
WILL DEVELOP OFFSHORE SUNDAY.  ALTHOUGH THE ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT
WILL MAINLY AFFECT WESTERN WA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA...A STRONG COLD
FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM
WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
AS WELL AS BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS.  A MOIST SW FLOW ALOFT WILL
FOLLOW ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOR CONTINUED UNSETTLED CONDITIONS.
SMITH

AVIATION...CEILINGS MOSTLY 080-150 THROUGH SUNRISE LOWERING TO
