AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
322 AM PST MON JAN 07 2008

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST OF THE CASCADES
THIS MORNING. A WEAK UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION TODAY...
BUT ANOTHER WET AND WINDY SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT SOUTHWEST
WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. HIGH
WIND ALONG THE COAST IS EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...WHILE
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED FOR THE CASCADES. ANOTHER WET WINDY
SYSTEM WILL PLOW THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY
MORNING. THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...SHOWERS HAVE CONTINUED OVERNIGHT WITH A STICKING SNOW
LEVEL AROUND 500-1000 FT BUT WITH MIXED RAIN AND SNOW DOWN TO NEAR
SEA LEVEL. SHOWERS WILL EASE EARLY THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER TROUGH
SHIFTS E OF THE CASCADES...BUT MAY NOT COMPLETELY END UNTIL LATER
TODAY AS INFRARED SATELLITE SHOWS CONVECTIVE CLOUDS OFFSHORE TO AT
LEAST 130W. BRIEF SHORT WAVE RIDGING MOVES THROUGH LATER TODAY...THEN
THE NEXT SYSTEM SPINS UP OVER THE NE PAC BEGINNING TONIGHT AS A WARM
FRONT...FOLLOWED BY THE COLD FRONT TUE AND THEN ANOTHER COLD UPPER
TROUGH TUE EVENING.

GFS AND NAM MODELS SHOW BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS SUFFICIENT FOR HIGH
WINDS ALONG THE N AND CENTRAL OREGON COAST FROM AROUND 06Z TO 16Z TUE
AND WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WARNING...WHILE FLOW APPEARS TOO
SOUTHEASTERLY FOR HIGH WINDS ON THE S WA COAST. GUSTY WINDS ALSO FOR
THE COAST RANGE BUT MODELS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONGER WINDS
ONLY AT THE HIGHER RIDGES.

PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A MOIST AIR MASS
THAT HAS A DEEP TAP INTO THE SUB-TROPICS. CURRENT AMSU SATELLITE
PRECIPITABLE WATER ESTIMATES ARE AROUND 1 INCH REACHING THE MID
LATITUDES. THE GFS MODEL MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS TAP INTO THIS SUB-
TROPICAL MOISTURE AS THE SYSTEM MOVES TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TUE.
FORTUNATELY THE SYSTEM IS MOVING AT A GOOD PACE TO LIMIT PROLONGED
HIGHER PRECIPITATION RATES IN THE AREA. HOWEVER IT MAY HAVE ENOUGH
JUICE TO BRING SIGNIFICANT RISE TO RIVERS...ESPECIALLY ON THE COAST
RANGE.

SNOW IN THE OVER-RUNNING WARM ADVECTIVE PATTERN WILL IMPACT THE
CASCADES AND FOOTHILLS AFTER 06Z TUE. EASTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL
RESULT IN CONTINUED LOW SNOW LEVELS INITIALLY...BUT THE
WARM-ADVECTIVE PATTERN WILL RAISE SNOW LEVELS ABOVE THE FOOTHILLS
OVERNIGHT. HEAVY CASCADE SNOW LIKELY EVEN WITHOUT OROGRAPHIC HELP.
SNOW LEVELS FOR THE CASCADES NEVER REALLY GET THAT HIGH IN THE WARM
ADVECTION...NOT LIKELY GETTING ABOVE THE PASSES. COLD FRONTAL ZONE
AND POST-FRONTAL TROUGH PATTERN LATE TUE THROUGH WED MORNING MEAN
BETTER OROGRAPHICS FOR THE CASCADES. IN FACT...THE GFS SHOWS 35-45 KT
AT 850 MB 06Z WED...WITH THE CASCADES IN THE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF A
SPEED MAX. FOOTHILLS TONIGHT PROBABLY WILL GET LESS THAN A HALF FOOT
OF WET SNOW TONIGHT BEFORE FREEZING LEVELS GET HIGH ENOUGH TO CHANGE
THE PRECIP TO RAIN. SOME SNOW ALSO LIKELY FOR THE UPPER HOOD RIVER
VALLEY AND POSSIBLY CENTRAL GORGE LATER TONIGHT FOR PROBABLE SNOW
ADVISORY AMOUNTS. TUE NIGHT AND WED THE SNOW LEVEL CREEP BACK DOWN TO
AROUND 1500 FT AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH. RW

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
A FAIRLY HEALTHY SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO SWING THROUGH
THE REGION ON WED EVENING. MODELS DO HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS ON THE
TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...BUT IT APPEARS AS IF THE FRONTAL ZONE WILL
EXIT THE FORECAST AREA TO THE EAST SOMETIME AROUND DAYBREAK ON
THURSDAY. H85 FLOW BEHIND THIS FRONT IS PRETTY GOOD...HOVERING
AROUND 30 KTS THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. BETWEEN THURSDAY MORNING
AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING THE CASCADES AND EVEN THE HIGHER FOOTHILLS
COULD SEE A DECENT AMOUNT OF FRESH SNOW. THAT BEING SAID...THE ONE
INHIBITING FACTOR WOULD BE THAT 850MB TEMPS SEEM TO PLANT THEMSELVES
AROUND THE FREEZING MARK DURING THIS TIME AS WELL. IF MID LEVELS END
UP BEING A LITTLE COOLER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST...HEAVY SNOWFALL
SEEMS LIKELY. FRIDAY IS A TRANSITION DAY BETWEEN SYSTEMS...SO THERE
WILL BE SHOWERS AROUND IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS BUT THINGS WILL BE
DRYING OUT SOMEWHAT. THE NEXT FRONT LOOKS TO COME IN SOMETIME EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING.  DALTON
&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS CONTINUE TO MOVE IN OFF THE PACIFIC. HOWEVER...
THESE SHOWERS WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE LATER THIS MORNING AS AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVES FURTHER INLAND. MVFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY IN
SHOWERS. BRIEF BREAK IN WEATHER TODAY BEFORE A STRONG SYSTEM MOVES
INLAND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...A MIX OF VFR AND MVFR WILL CONTINUE THIS
MORNING IN ONSHORE FLOW AND SHOWERS. CONDITIONS WILL BE VFR IN
THE AFTERNOON AS WE AWAIT THE NEXT ARRIVING SYSTEM THIS EVENING.
&&

.MARINE...QUIET WEATHER THIS MORNING BETWEEN SYSTEMS. THE NEXT GALE
EVENT BEGINS THIS EVENING AND CONTINUES THROUGH THE NIGHT. GUSTS
SHOULD PUSH CLOSE TO STORM FORCE PARTICULARLY NEAR THE BEACHES AND
HEADLANDS. SEAS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 10 FT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
