AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
325 PM PST WED JAN 4 2006

.SHORT TERM...STILL WATCHING A WARM FRONT MOVE UP THE WEST SIDE WITH
MAINLY CLOUDS AT THIS POINT. DO EXPECT THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWERS
MAKING IT INTO THE WASHINGTON CASCADES OVERNIGHT SO MAINTAINING A
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION THERE. PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
RAIN WITH SOME LIGHT FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE AROUND ELLENSBURG AND
CLE ELUM WHERE SOME COLD AIR REMAINS TRAPPED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
BUILDING OVER THE REGION NEXT 24-36 HOURS. THIS WILL INTENSIFY
INVERSIONS RESULTING IN AN INCREASE OF FOG AND LOW CLOUDS MAINLY
THROUGHOUT THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN AND EAST SLOPE OF THE WASHINGTON
CASCADES. ABOVE THE INVERSION TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMING. NEXT
SYSTEM WILL BRING SOME RAIN TO THE CASCADES FRIDAY NIGHT THEN SPREAD
OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY A BREAK ON
SATURDAY. SYSTEMS WILL NOT HAVE A LOT OF PRECIPITATION WITH IT SO
SEE NO NEED FOR HIGHLIGHTS AT THIS TIME. ONLY SHORT TERM CONCERN
WILL BE FOR AREAS OF FREEZING FOG FROM THE TRI-CITES WEST TO THE
CASCADES NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE STORM TRACK FROM
THE PACIFIC OCEAN WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTHWEST THROUGH THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...KEEPING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION OVER
THE AREA. A FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH NEARLY EVERY DAY. THE STRONGEST
FRONTS PROBABLY WILL BE SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AT TIMES WESTERLY FLOW
WILL LIMIT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION IN THE LEE OF THE CASCADES DUE TO
RAIN SHADOW EFFECTS...BUT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND LIFT
TO KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION EVEN IN THESE AREAS.
