TONIGHT. FORECAST ON TRACK. HAVE UPDATED THE MARINE FORECAST TO
ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WINDS TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT...AND ALSO HOISTED A GALE AND HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCH FOR
WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS WINDS INCREASE IN ADVANCE OF
THURSDAYS COLD FRONT. STAVISH

&&

.AVIATION...SCT IFR CIGS AT THE COAST AND NEAR KMHS. WDSPRD
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION INLAND AND CLOUDS WILL THICKEN AND LOWER TO
WDSPRD MVFR WITH WARM FRONT AND INCREASING RAIN/HIGH MTN SNOW
TONIGHT. CONDITIONS TOMORROW WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY WERE
THIS MORNING AS THE WARM FRONT LINGERS IN THE MORNING...AND THE
JET STREAM DRIFTS NORTHWARD IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 258 PM PST MON JAN 5 2009/
DISCUSSION...THE POLAR JET STREAM IS CURRENTLY DRAPED NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST FROM ABOUT JUNEAU ALASKA...TO SEATTLE WASHINGTON...ACROSS
EASTERN OREGON TO SOUTHERN NEVADA. WARM AIR AND SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE RIDING OVER THE TOP OF A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND HAWAII IS RESULTING IN A BROAD
OVERRUNNING PATTERN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH HIGH SNOW LEVELS
BUT ONLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION.

MORNING REPORTS INDICATE THAT MOSTLY RAIN FELL OVERNIGHT AT ALL
ELEVATION BELOW TREE LINE FROM HOWARD PRAIRIE SOUTHWARD. REPORTS
FROM THE WARNER MOUNTAINS WEST TO BLY MOUNTAIN TO CRATER LAKE
INDICATE 2.5 TO 6 INCHES OF NEW SNOW. WATER AMOUNTS WERE NEAR 20
PERCENT EVEN AT CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. WINDS HAVE BEEN QUITE
STRONG ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF LAKE COUNTY WITH THE HIGH
BLOWER SUMMER LAKE GUSTING OVER 80 MILES PER HOUR EARLY THIS
MORNING. GUSTS IN THE LOW 70S WERE ALSO REPORTED AT THE EXPOSED
CAPE BLANCO HEADLAND SITE WITH SOLID GALES ACROSS THE MOST OF THE
WATERS.

FOR TONIGHT ANOTHER WARM FRONTAL WAVE WILL PUSH INTO THE COAST AND
THEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS
WILL REMAIN HIGH...FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 4000 AND 6000 FEET EAST OF
THE CASCADES AND BETWEEN 5000 AND 7000 FEET FROM THE CASCADES
WESTWARD. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL GENERALLY BE LESS THAN A
QUARTER OF INCH FOR THIS EVENT...EXCEPT ALONG THE COAST AND IN AND
NEAR THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS WHERE THEY WILL BE A BIT HIGHER. THE
BOTTOM LINE.

THE JET STREAM WILL GENERALLY LIFT NORTH THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY
AFTER TOMORROWS WARM FRONTAL WAVE CAUSING PRECIPITATION COVERAGE
AND AMOUNTS TO DECREASE ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE FOLLOWED THE ECMWF
FOR THE MOST PART...BUT WITH QPF LEANING ON THE LOW SIDE FOR THE
PERIOD GIVEN THE PRIMARY FORCING REMAINING NORTH OF THE AREA.

A MODEST FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING DELIVERING ANOTHER SLUG OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE
REGION. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD DROP SNOW LEVELS LOW ENOUGH FOR A FEW
INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS MOST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND MODEST RAIN
AMOUNTS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS STILL IS UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN ANY
RIVER PROBLEMS ACROSS THE REGION.

HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILD IN WITH NORMA TO ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA AND BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION.
THESE CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH TH 8 TO
14 DAY PERIOD...WHICH IS JAN 11TH THROUGH THE 19TH. CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH FOR THIS PATTERN CHANGE. BTL
