AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
228 PM PST WED FEB 6 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER STRONG STORM
TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. 150KT JET WILL PUSH
THIS SYSTEM THROUGH WITH RAIN/SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWING SYSTEM IS DEVELOPING A SIGNIFICANT CLOUD SHIELD
ASSOCIATED WITH WARM ADVECTION AND JET. THIS WILL OVERSPREAD THE
AREA THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. EXPECT ALL AREAS
TO SEE PRECIPITATION WITH LOWER ELEVATIONS RECEIVING RAIN AND
MOUNTAINS GETTING SNOW. HEAVIER SNOW AMOUNTS LIKELY FOR THE CASCADES
AND BLUES AS UPSLOPE WILL BE HIGHEST THERE. SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW
ADVISORIES IN EFFECT FOR THESE LOCATIONS. PRECIPITATION WILL BE
DECREASING ON THURSDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CASCADES AND BLUES
WHERE STRONG FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. DOWNSLOPE FLOW OFF
THE CASCADES SHOULD KEEP RAIN AT A MINIMUM FOR THE COLUMBIA BASIN.
JET LIFTS BACK NORTHWARD TOWARD BC THURSDAY NIGHT HOWEVER MIXED
PRECIPITATION AND BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE. OTHER ISSUE WITH
THIS STORM WILL BE THE WINDS. SOUTHERLY SURFACE GRADIENTS REMAIN
FAIRLY TIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD AND WESTERLY WINDS ALOFT ARE ALSO
STRONG. MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD SEE WINDY CONDITIONS WITH SOME AREAS
RECEIVING STRONG WINDS. HAVE ISSUED WIND ADVISORIES FOR MANY ZONES
VALID LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING AS 60-75 KT 850MB
WINDS WILL BE OVERHEAD AT THIS POINT.  94

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...AN UPPER RIDGE SHOULD BUILD
ALONG 135W FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN
AMPLIFICATION OF THE NORTHWEST FLOW AND SOME WARM AIR ADVECTION OVER
THE PACNW. THIS NORTHWEST FLOW WILL REMAIN MOIST...SO THE WARM AIR
ADVECTION WILL PRODUCE SOME PRECIP. THERE SHOULD BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF
RAIN SHADOWING DUE TO THE NORTHWEST FLOW SO EXPECT BEST CHANCES OF
RAIN/SNOW TO BE NEAR THE CASCADE CREST AND ALONG WEST AND NORTHWEST
FACING SLOPES OF THE INTERIOR NORTHWEST MOUNTAINS. LOWER ELEVATION
SHOULD SEE JUST A LITTLE OR NO PRECIP. ALSO SHOULD SEE SNOW LEVELS
RISE. THE RIDGE AXIS LOOKS TO SHIFT EAST ACROSS THE PACNW SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD FURTHER LIMIT CHANCES OF PRECIP
ACROSS THE AREA. A WEAK DISTURBANCE IMBEDDED WITHIN THE UPPER FLOW
LOOKS TO FLATTEN THE RIDGE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS
WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS FOR AN INCREASE IN
PRECIP CHANCES. FOR NOW ONLY NUDGED CHANCES UP SLIGHTLY AS TRACK...
STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THE DISTURBANCE IS VERY UNCERTAIN AT THIS
TIME. 90

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...CONTINUED MEDIUM RANGE
MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN BUT A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE APPEARED ON THE GFS AND CANADIAN 12Z RUNS FOR SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY. HAVE DISCOUNTED THESE RUNS AND THEIR SOLUTION OF
DEVELOPING A WAVE OVER THE NORTHWEST COAST THEN CLOSING IT OFF NEAR
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION OF THE SOUTHWEST. INSTEAD HAVE FAVORED THE
MORE BROAD APPROACH OF THE ECMWF/GFS ENSEMBLE/CANADIAN ENSEMBLE IN
KEEPING A MEAN RIDGE OVER THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY. AS SUCH...HAVE
MADE MOST OF THE COLUMBIA AND DESCHUTES BASINS DRY SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WHILE KEEPING CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN DUE TO UNCERTAINTY FROM THE OPERATIONAL GFS/CANADIAN RUNS.

TUESDAY...MODELS AGAIN AGREE UPON A SOLUTION DEVELOPING A SHORT-WAVE
TROUGH OVER THE PACNW WITH EFFECTS LASTING INTO WEDNESDAY. BOTH GFS
AND ECMWF SHOW WARM ADVECTION AND SIGNIFICANT RISES IN SNOW LEVELS
BEGINNING IN THE LATTER HALF OF MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH MUCH OF
DAYLIGHT HOURS TUESDAY. MODEL 850MB TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY
REACHING INTO UPPER 40S TUESDAY MORNING. ITS TOO EARLY TO BITE OFF
WHOLE-HEARTEDLY ON THIS DETAIL...BUT HAVE TRENDED SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS UPWARD FOR NOW AND WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR MODEL TRENDS. TUESDAY NIGHT...THE TROUGH MAKES ITS MAIN
ADVANCE ACROSS THE REGION WITH A FAIRLY FAST COLD FRONT AS WELL.
THIS SHOULD DROP SNOW LEVELS BACK TO SEASONAL NORMS WITH BEST SHOWER
ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER THE NORTHEASTERN OREGON MOUNTAINS
UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW. STILL KEPT CHANCE POPS NEARLY EVERYWHERE TO
ACCOUNT FOR UNCERTAIN TIMING. JBONK

&&

.AVIATION...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...VFR CONDITIONS TO PREDOMINATE
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THIS EVENING AS PRECIP
WILL PRODUCE OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS AND/OR VIS AT ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT
KPSC (THOUGH THEY COULD GET VERY CLOSE). WINDS OF 5 TO 15 KTS WITH A
FEW GUSTS WILL BE THE RULE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH ABOUT 07/10Z.
AFTER THAT TIME...WINDS WILL INCREASE DUE TO TIGHTENING SURFACE
GRADIENTS AND STRONG WINDS ALOFT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED
AT KDLS...KPSC...KALW AND KPDT WHERE THEY WILL BE AT LEAST 20 TO 30
KTS WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KTS. 90
