Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 2:45 AM PDT, 5 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
245 AM PDT SAT MAR 27 2010
.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER WASHINGTON AND OREGON
TODAY PROVIDING A BRIEF BREAK TO THE WET WEATHER. THE RIDGE WILL
GIVE WAY TO AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WHICH WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING. THIS WILL USHER IN A PERIOD OF WET AND
COLDER WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW UPPER RIDGE BUILDING OVER
WASHINGTON AND OREGON THIS MORNING. SOME FOG IN THE SOUTHERN
WILLAMETTE VALLEY EXPECTED AS THE CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED OFF THERE.
OFFSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON AND EXPECT SUNNY SKIES TO
DEVELOP BY THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH
FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS SUNDAY MORNING. WS
THE NEXT SYSTEM MON/MON NIGHT COULD BE QUITE WET AS SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS THE REMNANTS OF A WESTERN PACIFIC DISTURBANCE BEING ABSORBED
INTO THE WESTERLIES. ENERGY FROM THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH A 180 KT JET FORECAST BY GFS TO PUSH
INTO SW OREGON LATE MON. WITH POTENTIAL 6HR QPF VALUES APPROACHING
1.00" AND SWLY H85 WINDS OF 55-65KT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
2-3" OF RAINFALL IN THE COAST RANGE AND CASCADES LATER MON. AN
ENHANCED PRES GRADIENT AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY GIVE STRONG WINDS TO
THE COAST EARLY MON. COLD AIR MOVES IN BY TUESDAY WITH SNOW LEVELS
DROPPING AND SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL LIKELY IN THE CASCADES. RW/WS
.LONG TERM...A BROAD UPPER TROUGH AND WESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW WILL
CONTINUE SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION TUE AND WED. MODELS DETAILS
DIVERGE SOME LATER IN THE WEEK WITH THE FLOW BECOMING MORE
PROGRESSIVE BUT STILL RATHER UNSETTLED. MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER FRONT
MOVING THROUGH ON FRI. RW
&&
.AVIATION...LOCAL MVFR CIGS WILL NOT LINGER LONG OVERNIGHT AS
EASTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS. VFR CONDITIONS ALL SITES BY MID MORNING SAT
WITH LOW LEVEL OFFSHORE FLOW DRYING OUT THE AIR MASS.
KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT
WITH OFFSHORE FLOW DRYING THE AIR MASS.
&&
.MARINE...A SERIES OF PACIFIC STORMS WILL BRING STRONG WINDS AND
HIGH SEAS TO THE WATERS BEGINNING LATE SATURDAY. FIRST SYSTEM COMING
IN SAT LOOKS ON TRACK FOR SMALL CRAFT WINDS... BUT LIKELY THAT A
BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS WILL OCCUR LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. SWELL
GENERATED BY A STORM IN THE GULF OF AK NEAR 150W EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE SUN WITH SEAS IN THE HIGH TEENS...THEN A FRONTAL SYSTEM
COMING IN SUN NIGHT IS EXPECTED TO BRING WINDS UP TO GALE FORCE
