AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
220 PM PDT SUN SEP 4 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW
OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TO THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST BY THIS AFTERNOON AND BEGIN FEEDING MID LEVEL
MOISTURE AND MARGINAL INSTABILITY INTO SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON. THE
LOW WILL OPEN UP TO A MID/UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE AS IT MOVES INTO
SOUTHWEST OREGON TONIGHT AND THEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON LABOR
DAY. THE SHORT WAVE WILL BRING INCREASING MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND
MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTABILITY INTO CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL OREGON
ON LABOR DAY. THESE CONDITIONS WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME SURFACE
HEATING...THUS INCREASING THE PROBABILITY FOR SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN
DESCHUTES...CROOK AND GRANT COUNTIES AS WELL AS IN SOUTHERN WHEELER
COUNTY. VERTICAL WIND SHEAR WILL BE LIGHT TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THEREFORE...ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE.

WILDFIRES ALONG THE OREGON CASCADES WILL PRODUCE SMOKE OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. A SOUTHWEST FLOW IN THE LAYER FROM 5000-10000 FEET WILL
TRANSPORT THE SMOKE NORTHEASTWARD INTO JEFFERSON...WASCO...
SHERMAN...KLICKITAT AND SOUTHERN YAKIMA COUNTY. SOME OF THE SMOKE
MAY MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN DURING THE
AFTERNOON ON LABOR DAY. NIGHTTIME SURFACED INVERSIONS WILL
CONCENTRATE THE SMOKE IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER TONIGHT IN THE
AFOREMENTIONED AREAS. AS SUCH EXPECT REDUCED AIR QUALITY DUE TO
SMOKE NI THESE AREAS.

THE MID/UPPER LEVEL PRESSURE PATTERN WILL REVERT TO A FLAT RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THIS SCENARIO WILL GIVE THE INTERIOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST
WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT THUS PRODUCING SUBSIDENCE EAST OF THE CASCADES
WHICH WILL GIVE DRY AND STABLE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  POLAN

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
WILL PERSIST IN WESTERN CANADA THROUGH THIS PERIOD. SOUTHERLY FLOW
AHEAD OF A DEEPENING OFF SHORE TROUGH WILL BE OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BY THURSDAY A CUTOFF LOW WILL DEVELOP AS
THE ENERGY IN THE BASE OF THE TROUGH UNDERCUTS THE RIDGE. DIFFUSE
SPLIT FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND CONTINUE
THROUGH FRIDAY. HOWEVER PIECES OF ENERGY FROM THE SPLITTING TROUGH
MAY MOVE OVER EASTERN WASHINGTON AND OREGON. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
VERY DRY INITIALLY WITH NO ORGANIZED SYSTEM SO DO NOT EXPECT ANY
PRECIPITATION...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOW. FRIDAY SOME MOISTURE AND
ENERGY MAY ROTATE INTO THE CWA FROM CENTRAL OREGON TO WALLOWA
COUNTY. THIS MAY TRIGGER A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MOUNTAINS OVER
THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY THE RIDGE WILL
REBUILD IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON AS THE LOW DRIFTS SOUTH. DECIDED TO
KEEP THE FORECAST DRY THESE DAYS.   COONFIELD

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS. VFR CONDITIONS AND MAINLY CLEAR SKIES FOR THE
