AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
230 AM PST SAT NOV 25 2006

.SYNOPSIS...COLD NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO FEED SHOWERS
INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WITH SNOW IN
THE MOUNTAINS. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE
THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SUNDAY THAT COULD BRING HIGH WINDS TO
AT LEAST A PART OF THE COAST...SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS AND POSSIBLY THE
COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE...AND RATHER LOW SNOW LEVELS TO AREAS MAINLY
NORTH OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER. MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR IS EXPECTED TO
SPREAD IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY THAT COULD BRING
EVEN LOWER SNOW LEVELS TO MUCH OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST
OREGON. COLDER AND DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED MID WEEK BEFORE ANOTHER
SYSTEM APPROACHES LATER NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUES TO SHOW SHOWERS SPREADING INTO
THE CWA THIS MORNING IN THE COLD NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. SHOWERS
WILL DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY TODAY...EXCEPT OVER THE CASCADES.

THE NEXT SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO SPREAD ONSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT FROM
THE NORTHWEST INCREASING THE PRECIPITATION INTO WESTERN WASHINGTON
AND IN OUR EXTREME NORTHERN ZONES. A STRONGER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH
THE COAST SUNDAY EVENING AND MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT. THE GFS CONTINUES TO BRING THE LOW ONSHORE NEAR THE WA/OREGON
BORDER. THE NAM BRINGS THE MAIN LOW INTO NORTHERN WA. WILL GO WITH
THE GFS...SINCE IT HAS BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT. THE EXACT TRACK OF
THE LOW DOES MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE TO THE WEATHER...WITH A
POSSIBILITY OF HIGH WINDS ON THE COAST SUNDAY. WILL ISSUE A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OREGON COAST. THE GFS
INDICATES POSSIBLE SNOW IN THE COLUMBIA GORGE DUE TO THE INCREASING
EASTERLY OFFSHORE FLOW. WE COULD ALSO SEE LOW SNOW LEVELS FROM
PORTLAND NORTH UNTIL THE LOW CENTER MOVES EAST LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON. NOT SURE THE SNOW LEVEL WILL MAKE IT TO THE SURFACE WEST
OF THE CASCADES AS ONSHORE FLOW PERSISTS INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AND WE
MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH DURATION OF OFFSHORE WINDS TO LOWER THE WET BULB
TEMPERATURE ENOUGH.

MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR WILL SPREAD INTO MUCH OF OUR FORECAST AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY FOLLOWING THIS SYSTEM...POSSIBLY BRINGING THE SNOW
LEVEL CLOSE TO THE SURFACE AT LEAST IN THE NORTHERN ZONES.
HOWEVER...PRECIPITATION WILL BE TAPERING OFF TO SHOWERS AT THAT POINT
SO ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIGHT. LIKENS

.LONG TERM...EXTENDED MODELS AND GFS ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO SHOW A
MODIFIED ARCTIC FRONT DROPPING INTO THE WESTERN WA/OR MON NIGHT AND
TUE. A PORTION OF A COLD SURFACE HIGH ORIGINATING FROM AK DROPS
THROUGH EASTERN WA/OR WED INTO THU ALTHOUGH EXPECT MUCH OF THE HIGH
TO FOLLOW THE TYPICAL PATH DOWN THE E SLOPES OF THE ROCKIES. SHOULD
BE A COLD PERIOD AND WINDY IN AREAS EXPOSED TO NE WINDS..BUT MAINLY
DRY. BY THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK THE AIR MASS SHOULD BE WARMING AS
AN UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS ONSHORE. MODELS ALSO SUGGEST THIS UPPER RIDGE
MAY PROTECT THE AREA FROM ANY SIGNIFICANT FREEZING PRECIPITATION AS
WEAKENING PAC FRONTS ARE HELD OFFSHORE THU AND POSSIBLY FRI AS WELL.
&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE TONIGHT AS FLOW ALOFT
TURNS FROM WESTERLY TO MORE NORTHWESTERLY. THIS WILL DECREASE THE
OROGRAPHIC COMPONENT OVER THE MOUNTAINS AS THE SNOW LEVEL DROPS TO
AROUND 1500 FEET NORTH AND 2500 FEET SOUTH. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED WITH MVFR CEILINGS IN SHOWERS. MAY SEE A PATCH OR TWO OF
FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT.
&&

.MARINE...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 TO 36
HOURS. WINDS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY THROUGH
SATURDAY. SEAS WILL SUBSIDE BELOW 10 FT OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT PAC
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...PACKING GALE FORCE
WINDS AND 14 FOOT SEAS ON SUNDAY.
