AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
830 AM PST SAT DEC 15 2007

.SYNOPSIS...AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS IN STORE FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. SHOWERS WILL DECREASE TODAY BEHIND THE FIRST IN A
SERIES OF PACIFIC SYSTEMS. A STRONGER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN OFF
THE PACIFIC LATE SUN AND SUNDAY NIGHT WITH RAIN AND STRONG GUSTY
WINDS ALONG THE COAST. SIGNIFICANT SNOW AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE
CASCADES. A PARADE OF ADDITIONAL PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL LIKELY
FOLLOW NEXT WEEK WITH LOW MOUNTAIN SNOW LEVELS.
&&

.SHORT TERM...A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IS UNDERWAY WITH FRONTS LINED UP
ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE PAC ON THE INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. SHOWERS
CONTINUE THIS MORNING BEHIND A QUICKLY ADVANCING FRONT...WITH SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS SEEN IN THE CASCADES AS WELL AS LOWER ELEVATIONS
THROUGH THE WESTERN GORGE AREA. SHOWERS HAVE BEGUN TO DECREASE IN
AREAL EXTENT AS WELL AS SLIGHTLY IN INTENSITY. INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWING CONTINUED SHOWER ACTIVITY OFFSHORE WILL MOVE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. WILL EXTEND CURRENT SNOW
ADVISORY BY A FEW HOURS FOR THE NORTH OR AND SOUTH WA CASCADES...AS
FURTHER ACCUMULATIONS OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES COULD BE SEEN IN AREAS
WITH HEAVIER SHOWERS. BROWN

NO CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST BEYOND THIS POINT. THE NEXT FRONT
APPEARS STRONGER ON SATELLITE IMAGERY...AND IS DEPICTED NOTICEABLY
STRONGER IN THE MODELS. THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM SHOULD BRING HIGH WINDS
TO THE COASTAL AREAS SUN...WITH A HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FOR GUSTS
60 TO 65 MPH AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WIND GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE COAST RANGE WITH 850
MILLIBAR FLOW ON THE GFS SHOWING 65 KTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. MODELS
SUGGEST SOLID SNOW ADVISORY AND POSSIBLE WARNING SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE
CASCADES LATE SUN INTO MON WITH GOOD OROGRAPHICS...AS MOIST SW FLOW
CONTINUES FROM OFF THE PAC. SNOW LEVELS LOOK LOW ENOUGH FOR SOME
ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE NORTH COAST RANGE AND CASCADE FOOTHILLS. RW

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
WILL FEATURE LIKELY POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED GIVEN THE
ACTIVE STORM TRACK SHOWN IN MODELS. UP FIRST IS A LOW WITH A CENTRAL
PRESSURE IN THE 980S...FORECAST TO MOVE INTO OREGON ON TUE MORNING.
THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE MODEL VARIANCE WITH REGARD TO THE
STRENGTH AND TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM. GFS IS SLIGHTLY WEAKER AND
CURRENTLY BRINGS THE LOW INLAND ALONG THE SOUTH OREGON COAST. THE
EURO...WHICH HAS BEEN A BIT MORE CONSISTENT WITH PLACEMENT AND
STRENGTH OF THIS LOW...TAKES THE LOW INLAND ALONG THE CENTRAL OREGON
COAST. IN COORDINATION WITH THE REST OF THE OFFICE...TOOK THE MIDDLE
ROAD FOR NOW WITH LIKELY POPS AND RELATIVELY LOW WINDS ALONG THE
COAST...THOUGH IF THE MORE NORTHERLY EURO SOLUTION VERIFIES THE
CENTRAL OREGON COAST COULD SEE A DECENT WIND EVENT TUE AFTERNOON.
BEYOND TUE MORNING SYSTEMS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH LATE TUE
NIGHT/WE MORNING AND ANOTHER ONE ON THU AFTERNOON. FREEZING LEVELS
WILL REMAIN LOW ENOUGH FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK TO SEE SEVERAL PERIODS
OF DECENT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE CASCADES WITH THE MOST NOTABLE OF
THESE BEING TUE NIGHT THROUGH WED EVENING. DALTON
&&

.AVIATION...VFR CIGS BEHIND FRONT THIS MORNING EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ISOLATED MVFR IN
SHOWERS. LOCAL IFR CIGS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT AS LOW LEVEL AIR
MASS BECOMES MORE STABLE WITH SOME OVERRUNNING MID AND HIGHER CLOUDS
AHEAD OF NEXT STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...SHOWERS AND MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED...MAY DROP TO MVFR AT TIMES IN SHOWERS. SOUTHERLY WINDS
EXPECTED TODAY. OCCASIONAL SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ABOUT 06Z
THEN MOSTLY VFR CONDS WITH LIGHT SOUTHEAST WINDS AHEAD OF NEXT
SYSTEM.

.MARINE...WINDS DIMINISHING BEHIND FRONT AND WILL DROP BELOW SMALL
CRAFT LEVELS IN THE SOUTHERN WATERS BY AFTERNOON. EXPECT WINDS TO
REMAIN NEAR SMALL CRAFT LEVELS IN THE NORTH UNTIL THE NEXT FRONT
APPROACHES. WINDS WILL BRIEFLY DROP BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS IN THE
SOUTHERN WATERS THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL LEAVE UP SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY AS WINDS WILL INCREASE BY TONIGHT. SEAS WILL CONTINUE ABOVE
10 FT OVER ALL WATERS. STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES TONIGHT WITH
GALES DEVELOPING AROUND MIDNIGHT. WINDS RISE TO FULL GALES IN THE
WARM SECTOR JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. CURRENT TIMING WOULD PUT
THE FRONT AT BUOY 46089 AROUND 18Z AND TO THE COASTLINE AROUND 20Z.
GWW MODEL BUILDS SEAS TO JUST BELOW 20 FT BUT EXPECT SEAS TO BUILD
INTO THE LOWER 20S DURING THE MORNING WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS.
THE FRONT HAS JUST MOVED ON SHORE AND WINDS ARE DROPPING INTO THE
SCA RANGE. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR BOTH WINDS AND
SEAS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A LOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE EASTERN
PACIFIC AND MOVE TOWARD OREGON MONDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS ARE
BEGINNING TO SHOW MORE CONSISTENCY AND AGREEMENT WITH THIS FEATURE
BRINGING IT INSIDE 130W MONDAY NIGHT.  CURRENT FORECAST DOES NOT
INDICATE POSSIBLE GALES WITH THIS SYSTEM.  WILL DO SOME COORDINATION
AND PROBABLY MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON.
