AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
334 AM PST SUN JAN 16 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF WET AND UNUSUALLY WARM PACIFIC STORM SYSTEMS WILL
BRING LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH MOUNTAIN SNOW THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
COMBINATION OF RAIN AND MELTING SNOW WILL RESULT IN INCREASED
RUNOFF OVER ALL LOCATIONS. LOCALIZED FLOODING IS POSSIBLE FROM
RISING RIVER LEVELS AND PONDING OF WATER DUE TO POOR DRAINAGE. A
SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT WILL LOWER TEMPERATURES BY TUESDAY AND
BRING A GRADUAL DRYING TREND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...SATELLITE REVEALS A DEEP PLUME OF
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE POUNDING INTO THE NORTHWEST THIS MORNING.
AMSU AND MIMIC SATELLITE PRECIPITABLE WATER LOOP SUGGEST THE MAIN AXIS
OF THIS FETCH IS DIRECTED INTO OREGON...BUT EASTERN
WASHINGTON...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 90...IS WELL WITHIN
THE DEEP FRINGE OF THIS PLUME. NAM...GFS AND ECMWF MODEL FIELD OF
MOTION ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT...DEPICTING A
CONTINUATION OF STRONG WESTERLY FLOW TROUGH THE NEXT 24 TO 36
HOURS WITH THE POLAR JET MAXIMUM RIGHT OVER THE FORECAST AREA
...BECOMING A MORE NORTHWESTERLY ON MONDAY ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE
JET AXIS. THE MAIN PACIFIC MOISTURE SURGE WILL SLUMP SOUTH OF THE
REGION BY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT NOT BEFORE DEPOSITING ANOTHER 1/2
INCH OF RAIN IN THE BASIN AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER INCH OF RAIN IN THE
PANHANDLE MOUNTAINS. THIS OBVIOUSLY WILL HAVE RAMIFICATIONS FOR
RIVER LEVELS...AND IN PARTICULAR THE COEUR D'ALENE AND ST. JOE
BASINS WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED. THE COEUR D'ALENE AT
CATALDO IS NOW FORECAST TO REACH ACTION STAGE MONDAY MORNING...BUT
NOT FLOOD STAGE AT THIS TIME. THIS FORECAST MAY CHANGE WITH TODAYS
MODEL RUNS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION ACTUALLY FALLS ON
THE HEAD WATERS...AND THERE IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THAT
SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS WILL HAVE THIS FORECAST POINT AT LEAST
FLIRTING WITH FLOOD STAGE. CURRENT AREAL FLOOD HIGHLIGHTS REMAIN
VALID WITH THE SMALLER AND FASTER RESPONDING STREAMS SUBJECT TO
FURTHER SHARP RISES DUE TO TODAY'S DOUSING...AS WELL AS CONTINUED
SNOW MELT WITH A WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE REGIME.

THE OTHER THREAT WILL BE WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON THE
PALOUSE. VERY FAST FLOW HAS BEEN NOTED JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE
LAYER FOR THE LAST 48 HOURS. THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH MONDAY
MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGEST ENOUGH MIXING...OR AT LEAST A LACK OF DE-
COUPLING...SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO ALLOW THESE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT
TO BEGIN SURFACING ON THE HIGHER EXPOSED TERRAIN. THE MAIN THREAT
APPEARS TO FAVOR THE PALOUSE AND ALPOWA/POMEROY HIGHLANDS THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY...AND A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED
WITH THE MORNING PACKAGE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS THREAT. BREEZY
CONDITIONS WILL ONCE AGAIN PREVAIL OVER MOST OF THE EASTERN BASIN
AS WELL...WITH A MODERATE SOUTHERLY GRADIENT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON.

SO...IN GENERAL A VERY WET...INCREASINGLY WINDY AND CONTINUED MILD DAY
IS IN STORE FOR MOST OF THE REGION TODAY...FOLLOWED BY A LESS WET
BUT STILL SHOWERY AND BREEZY DAY ON MONDAY. THE MIGRATION OF THE
POLAR JET TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL ALLOW A SLIGHT
COOL DOWN AND LOWERING OF SNOW LEVELS ON MONDAY...BTU TEMPERATURES
WILL STILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL OVER MOST OF THE
POPULATED AREAS...AND THE SNOW LEVEL WILL REMAIN ABOVE VALLEY
FLOORS EVEN IN THE NORTHERN TIER ZONES. /FUGAZZI

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL
PREVAIL ACROSS THE INLAND NORTHWEST WHILE THE MAIN MOISTURE PLUME
SAGS FAR TO THE SOUTH. OROGRAPHIC SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE CASCADE CREST AND MUCH OF NORTH IDAHO. TEMPERATURES WILL
BEGIN TO COOL...BACK TO MORE SEASONAL VALUES. BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE A SHORTWAVE
DROPPING FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND AND KICKING ACROSS THE CASCADES TO
THE BLUE MOUNTAINS WHILE THE FLOW ALOFT VEERS TO A COOLER
NORTHWEST FLOW. ANTICIPATE A COLD FRONT PASSAGE WITH A BAND OF
SNOW AND LOW ELEVATION RAIN QUICKLY MOVING THROUGH THE
REGION...AND THEN PRECIPITATION DISSIPATING BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
AS WINDS TURN OUT OF THE NORTH.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS
UPSLOPE REGIONS OF NORTH IDAHO...BUT ANY ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MINOR. THE MAIN CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED
FORECAST WAS TO COOL OFF TEMPERATURES AND LOWER SNOW LEVELS EVEN
MORE. THE MAJORITY OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A COOLER
AND MORE SEASONAL REGIME THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK...WHICH
WILL HELP LIMIT THE SNOW MELT AND MOUNTAIN RUNOFF. A WEAK WARM
FRONT WILL BRUSH ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER ZONES BY LATE THURSDAY
INTO FRIDAY WITH LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS. MOST
OF THE LOWLANDS AND VALLEY LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN DRY.

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THE MODEL DISCREPANCIES GROW AS
THE FLOW FROM THE PACIFIC BECOMES MORE COMPLEX. A MORE ACTIVE
WESTERLY FLOW IS PROJECTED WITH A SERIES OF STORMS TAKING AIM ON
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE CONFIDENCE OF THE TIMING AND STRENGTHEN
OF THESE FEATURES IS LOW. TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS WILL START
OFF LOW WITH LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN THE VALLEYS...BUT WARMER
AIR IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE AND HELP RAISE SNOW LEVELS WITH LEAVING
RAIN IN THE VALLEYS AND LOWER SLOPES WITH SNOW AT THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. /RFOX.

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAFS...A DEEP FETCH OF PACIFIC MOISTURE IS FEEDING INTO THE
REGION TODAY...AND WILL PROMOTE IFR CONDITIONS IN WIDESPREAD RAIN
AND BR/FOG ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN TAF SITES THROUGH AT LEAST
THIS MORNING...WITH SOME LET UP IN STEADY RAIN TO INTERMITTENT
LIGHT RAIN WITH CONTINUING MVFR CEILINGS AFTER 18Z-20Z AT THE
SPOKANE AREA TAF SITES AND AFTER 22Z- 24Z AT THE KLWS AND KPUW TAF
SITES AS THE FETCH AXIS SLUMPS SOUTH OF THE REGION. WINDY AND
GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO PREVAIL ACROSS THE EASTERN BASIN THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT AS FAST FLOW ALOFT TRANSLATES
OCCASIONALLY TO THE SURFACE. TONIGHT THE LOW LEVEL AIR MASS WILL
REMAIN SATURATED WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS PROMOTING WIDESPREAD IFR AND
AREAS OF LIFR STRATUS CEILINGS ESPECIALLY AT THE KGEG TAF SITES.
