AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
230 PM PST FRI NOV 10 2006

.SYNOPSIS...A VERY STRONG COLD FRONT MOVED INLAND BRINGING RAIN AND
WIND DURING THE DAY AND WINDS ARE STILL STRONG AHEAD OF IT THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST AND THE COAST RANGE WITH
GUSTS 65 MPH OR MORE REPORTED AT SOME LOCATIONS...GUSTY WINDS WILL
ALSO CONTINUE IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE FRONT
MOVES FATHER SOUTH AND EAST. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE CASCADES WITH SNOW
ACCUMULATING IN THE CASCADES NEAR AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
GENERALLY COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL PERSIST SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN A POTENTIALLY VERY STRONG VERY WINDY LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE COAST LATER SUNDAY AND
SWING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. THIS
WEATHER SYSTEM COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS INLAND AS WELL AS THE
COAST. THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED WITH ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS
THROUGH NEXT WEEK. WILLSON
&&

.SHORT TERM...A STRONG PACIFIC FRONTAL SYSTEM NEAR THE CENTRAL OREGON
COAST AND ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA COAST WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH
AND EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STRONG WINDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED
ALONG THE COAST AND IN THE COAST RANGE NEAR AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT
AND THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST AND CENTRAL COAST RANGE ARE STILL
VULNERABLE TO HIGH WINDS FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS...A LOW LEVEL WIND
JET AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH OVER 50 KTS AT 850 MB AS THE FRONT MOVES
INLAND TO THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON THAT COULD GIVE GUSTS
UP TO THE 30 OR 40 MPH RANGE. WITH THE SATURATED SOILS WE COULD GET
TREE DAMAGE...AND WILL THUS A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE WHOLE INTERSTATE
5 CORRIDOR IS STILL IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM AND HAVE CONTINUED THE HIGH
WIND WARNING FOR THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST RANGE AND THE CENTRAL
OREGON COAST UNTIL AROUND 4 PM. THE OTHER FEATURE OF THIS SYSTEM
BESIDES WIND IS RAIN. SINCE 4 AM THIS MORNING 1.7 INCHES OF RAIN HAS
FALLEN AT LEES CAMP IN THE NORTH COAST RANGE. 2 INCHES IN 6 HOURS NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION IN LIGHT OF THE 50 TO 60 KT 850 MB INFLOW. NOT
SURE IF THIS IS ENOUGH TO RENEW THE FLOODING...BUT A FLOOD WATCH WAS
ISSUED FOR THE WILSON NEHALEM AND SILETZ RIVERS AS THE MOST
VULNERABLE COASTAL RIVERS FROM 4 PM TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
ISSUED A SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE CASCADES AS SNOW LEVELS FALL NEAR
THE FRONT WITH A SHARP SLOPE TO THE COLD AIR AS THE FRONT MOVES
ACROSS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. COOL SHOWERS WITH SNOW LEVELS
MOSTLY BELOW THE CASCADES PASSES ARE EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY. THERE IS SHORT WAVE ACTIVITY ROTATING ABOUT THE PARENT LOW
IN THE GULF OF ALASKA THAT SWINGS THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY THAT COULD PRODUCE SNOW ADVISORY ACCUMULATIONS IN AT LEAST
PART OF OUR CASCADES THEN AS WELL. AS IF THIS IS NOT ENOUGH...A VERY
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO
APPROACH LATE SUNDAY AND MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT.
CURRENT MODEL CONSENSUS TAKES THE SURFACE LOW CENTER INLAND THROUGH
WESTERN WASHINGTON...WITH VERY STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE
ALONG THE COAST...AND HIGH WINDS POSSIBLE ALSO INLAND. A HIGH WIND
OUTLOOK IS IN EFFECT FOR THAT. THERE IS A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ON THE
SANDY RIVER DUE TO A LOG JAM THERE. WILLSON

.LONG TERM... HEADING INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD LATE SUN MODELS VARY
IN SOLUTIONS INDICATING A DEEPENING SYSTEM APPROACHING THE COAST BUT
ALL HAVE SOME TYPE OF WIND EVENT DEPICTED. A VERY STRONG WESTERLY
LEFT JET EXIT IS SHOWN AVAILABLE TO SPIN UP THE LOW OFFSHORE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AHEAD
OF THE SURFACE LOW EXTENDING OUT TO THE SE...THERE WOULD SEEM TO BE
SOME POSSIBILITY OF THE LOW HEADING MORE DUE E SUN NIGHT THAN ANY OF
THE MODELS ARE CURRENTLY INDICATING. WILL KEEP WINDY CONDITIONS IN
FORECAST SUN NIGHT...AND WILL ALSO NEED TO WATCH THAT PERIOD FOR
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AS AIR MASS WITH THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO HAVE
TAPPED INTO SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE W OF HAWAII. MODEL SIMILARITIES
DIVERGE SUN NIGHT AND HAVING DIFFICULTY IN SHOWING CONSISTENCY EITHER
BETWEEN MODELS OR MODEL RUNS THROUGH REST OF EXTENDED. MAIN
SIMILARITY NOTED IN THE EXTENDED THEN IS A STRONG WESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT. GIVEN THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE WILL STAY WITH A HIGH WIND
OUTLOOK AND NOT UPGRADE TO A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THAT WEATHER EVENT
YET. WILLSON
