Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 8:30 AM PST, 5 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
830 AM PST THU JAN 3 2008
.SYNOPSIS...A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY INTO NEXT WEEK. A PARADE OF INCREASINGLY
STRONGER SYSTEMS ARE LINED UP OVER THE PACIFIC. A FRONT APPROACHING
THE COAST THIS MORNING WILL MOVE INLAND TODAY WITH GUSTY WINDS ON THE
COAST AND PLENTY OF RAIN INLAND AND SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. A MUCH
STRONGER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED FRI AND SAT. COLDER AIR WILL ARRIVE ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM ALLOWING SNOW LEVELS TO PLUMMET FRI NIGHT
AND SAT...REMAINING LOW THROUGH SUN. SIGNIFICANT SNOW IN THE CASCADES
IS LIKELY WITH ACCUMULATING SNOW POSSIBLE IN THE COAST RANGE AND
CASCADE FOOTHILLS.
&&
.SHORT TERM...REMAINS OF WEAK FRONT HUNG UP NORTH-SOUTH ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING...ARE PRODUCING LIGHT PRECIPITATION
FALLING OVER MOST AREAS. WITH SHALLOW COLD AIR TRAPPED IN THE
PORTIONS OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE AND HOOD RIVER VALLEY THIS
MORNING...A WINTRY MIX WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TODAY. LIGHT SNOW SHOULD
CONTINUE TO FALL IN THE CASCADES THIS MORNING AND THEN INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE NEXT FRONT MOVES INLAND...THEN DECREASE A BIT LATER
TONIGHT AND INCREASE MORE WITH A STRONGER SYSTEM ON FRIDAY. THE
APPROACHING FRONT THIS MORNING LOOKS STRONG ENOUGH ON SATELLITE AND
LOCAL SURFACE ANALYSIS FOR A LOW END HIGH WIND WARNING NEAR THE
HEADLANDS TODAY.
A STRONG WEATHER SYSTEM ARRIVES FRI. THIS WILL BE AN INTERESTING
SITUATION... AS THE OCCLUDED FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION MID DAY
ON FRI. THE TRIPLE POINT IS PRETTY FAR SOUTH WITH THE BETTER
POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS WITH THAT FRONT OVER THE SOUTH OREGON COAST.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS. ONCE THE FRONT SWINGS ACROSS THE
REGION...THE LOW PRES CENTER WILL APPROACH. MODELS OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL DAYS HAVE SHOWN A VERY TIGHT GRADIENT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
THE LOW THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS OUR COASTAL WATERS AND INTO NW OREGON
AND SW WASHINGTON FRI NIGHT THROUGH SAT MORNING. THIS SHOWS STRONGER
HIGH WIND POTENTIAL ON THE COAST...AND A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THIS. IT
COULD GET QUITE BREEZY EVEN INLAND FRI NIGHT AND SAT IF THIS SYSTEM
CONTINUES ON THE CURRENT TRACK. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SPREAD INTO THE
REGION LATER FRI NIGHT AND SAT. STEEPER LAPSE RATES IN THE POST
FRONTAL COLD AIR MASS WILL BRING A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
COAST AND COASTAL WATERS FRI NIGHT... SPREADING INLAND ON SAT.
SATURDAY WILL BE A LOT LIKE THIS PAST SUNDAY...WITH STRONG SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...WITH VERY LOW SNOW LEVELS. WILLSON
.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
COOL...SHOWERY WEATHER CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. SNOW LEVELS MODERATE A BIT EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT
UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES. SOME POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER VERY STRONG
SYSTEM TO ARRIVE TUE...BUT AFTERWARDS MODELS HINTING AT ANOTHER SHORT
LIVED DRY PERIOD. AS USUAL...CONFIDENCE IN EXTENDED FORECAST NOT
HIGH.
&&
.AVIATION...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR 130W WILL MOVE NORTH TODAY
AND INTO WRN B.C. AROUND 00Z. ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PASS THE
COAST AROUND 21Z...AND INLAND 23Z. CONDITIONS AT TAF SITES WILL BE
GENERALLY VFR TODAY WITH SPOTTY MVFR. MORE MVFR WITH AND AFTER
FRONTAL PASSAGE ESPECIALLY ONCE ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS. SOME VFR
TONIGHT BUT CONDITIONS DETERIORATE TO MVFR/IFR EARLY MORNING ON
COAST WITH INCOMING FRONTAL SYSTEM. INLAND SITES PROBABLY NOT SO LOW
UNTIL MID-MORNING ON FRI.
KPDX AND APPROACHES...CONDITIONS MOSTLY VFR DUE TO EAST WINDS FROM
THE GORGE...THOUGH SOME MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS TO THE WEST TOWARDS
KHIO. CONDITIONS VFR OCCASIONALLY MVFR WITH THE NEXT FRONT PASSAGE
LATE AFTERNOON. TONIGHT SEE TENDENCY TOWARD MVFR ALTHOUGH
STRENGTHENING EAST FLOW WITH APPROACH OF NEXT STRONG SYSTEM WILL MIX
AND DRY THE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT SO MAY JUST BE
INTERMITTENT MVFR CIGS OCCURRING WITH SHOWERS. KELSON
&&
.MARINE...GALE FORCE CONDITIONS TODAY AS DEEP LOW PRESSURE MOVE
NORTH ALONG 130W...THEN INLAND LATE AFTERNOON. LOW TO DEEPEN TO NEAR
970 MB BY LATE AFTERNOON WHEN MOVING INTO B.C. BUT AROUND 975 DUE
WEST OF CENTRAL WASHINGTON COAST AROUND MIDDAY. SEAS MAY BRIEFLY GET
CLOSE TO 20 FT COASTAL WATERS DURING AFTERNOON HOURS. BRIEF LULL
LATE EVENING...THEN NEXT DEEP BUT MATURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE COAST
LATE TONIGHT BRINGING COLD FRONT ONSHORE MID DAY. STRONG GALES AGAIN
FRIDAY AND AS LOW CENTER SWINGS TOWARD SHORE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
...WINDS COULD REACH STORM FORCE. SEAS PROJECTED NEAR 30 FT FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. WINDS EASE LATER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
