Area forecast discussion, Jan 16, 8:40 AM PST, 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
840 AM PST SUN JAN 16 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN
VERY IMPRESSIVE OVERNIGHT THROUGH THIS MORNING. MEACHAM WEATHER
SPOTTER REPORTS THEY HAVE 2 INCHES OF RAIN SO FAR. THE RESULT HAS
BEEN DRAMATIC RISES ON THE SMALL CREEKS AND STREAM OVERNIGHT FEEDING
INTO THE MAIN RIVERS. NUMEROUS FLOOD WATCHES...ADVISORIES AND
WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT AT THIS TIME SO SEE LATEST FLOOD STATEMENT
FOR MORE DETAILS AND THE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW.

MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY MAINLY ALONG THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE CASCADES AND OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHEAST
OREGON AND SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON. COULD EASILY SEE ANOTHER INCH OF
RAIN IN THESE AREA TODAY AND OVERNIGHT. PRECIPITATION RATES WILL
DECREASE TONIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION DECREASING TO SHOWERS. REST OF
THE FORECAST AREAS WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THE WASHINGTON CASCADE RAIN
SHADOW SO EXPECT JUST SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT RAIN TODAY. OTHER
CONCERN WILL BE INCREASE SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS TODAY THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING. THE UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM WILL BE PASSING OVER THE
REGION. SOME OF THESE WINDS WILL MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE PROVIDING
PERIODS OF WINDY CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S
TO LOWER 60S TODAY BUT BEGIN TO COOL SLIGHTLY ON MONDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 240 AM PST SUN JAN 16 2011/

SHADOWING OFF THE CASCADES. THE DOWNSLOPE DRYING WILL TAKE PLACE
OVERNIGHT...AND RAIN WILL END THROUGHOUT THE COLUMBIA BASIN DOWN TO

BASIN OF WASHINGTON TONIGHT UNTIL NOON ON MONDAY.  MAIN CONCERN WILL
BE THE HORSE HEAVEN HILLS AND NEAR HANFORD...AREAS THAT ARE WIND
PRONE TO STRONG SW WINDS AND SHOULD HAVE GUSTS IN THE 45-55 MPH
RANGE.  SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE MOUNTAINS MONDAY...MAINLY
ALONG THE NW FACING SLOPES.  THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE LITTLE TO
NO PRECIPITATION.  ONLY A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY
NIGHT.  COOLER AIR WILL SPREAD EAST OF THE CASCADES MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT...AND IT WILL BE QUITE A BIT COOLER MONDAY NIGHT
COMPARED TO THE UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.  JOHNSON

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE EAST PACIFIC AND A WEATHER
DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA
ON TUESDAY. MODELS DIFFER HOWEVER IN THE DETAILS OF HOW MUCH
PRECIPITATION WILL BE WITH THE SYSTEM. THE CASCADES AND MOUNTAINS OF
NORTHEAST OREGON HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION DUE TO THE
UPSLOPE FLOW...WHILE THE LOWER ELEVATIONS HAVE A LESSER CHANCE WITH
RAINSHADOWING. SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER ACROSS THE REGION AS COLDER
AIR MOVES IN WITH THIS SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS
WILL LEAD TO A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW FOR THE ENTIRE AREA...THOUGH
THE BRUNT OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY
NIGHT EXCEPT IN FAVORABLE NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW REGIONS. THE RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST AND BRING A DRY NORTHWEST FLOW TO
MOST OF THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL
IMPACT THE AREA BY FRIDAY. THE EUROPEAN MODEL IS FASTER WITH THE
SYSTEM...BRINGING IT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WHILE THE GFS BRINGS IT
THROUGH ON FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT. HAVE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR
THE HIGHER TERRAIN STARTING THURSDAY NIGHT DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF
THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM AND INCREASE THE CHANCES INTO FRIDAY AND
FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN BOTH MODELS INDICATE UNSETTLED FLOW OVER THE
REGION. THIS UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEKEND. DMH

AVIATION...12Z TAFS...FOG AND MIST WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT KDLS AND
KYKM THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS ABUNDANT MOISTURE STREAMS INTO THE
REGION. THESE IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE LATER THIS MORNING. MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH THE RAIN WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
DAY...THOUGH VICINITY RAIN WILL END AT KYKM BY THE AFTERNOON. THE
REST OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL SEE A DECREASE IN RAIN COVERAGE THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE WEATHER SYSTEM MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.
SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA WITH
KPSC...KYKM...KALW AND KPDT SEEING GUSTS 25 TO 35 KTS BY THE EVENING
HOURS AND 20 TO 25 KTS CAN BE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. DMH

HYDROLOGY...THERE HAVE BEEN SHARP RISES ALONG MANY OF THE RIVERS
THE PAST 12 HOURS ASSOCIATED WITH RAIN AND SNOW MELT RUNOFF.  THE
KLICKITAT RIVER NEAR PITT IS JUST UNDER BANKFULL AND IS FORECAST TO
RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE BY NOON TODAY.  A FLOOD WARNING WAS ISSUED
FOR THE KLICKITAT RIVER...AND MINOR FLOODING IS EXPECTED.  FLOOD
WATCHES WERE ISSUED FOR THE WALLA WALLA RIVER NEAR TOUCHET AND THE
UMATILLA RIVER AT PENDLETON...AS LATEST FORECAST BRINGS LEVELS TO
FLOOD STAGE MONDAY AFTERNOON.  ADDITIONAL FLOOD WATCHES AND WARNINGS
MAY BE ISSUED FOR OTHER RIVERS IF LEVELS SHOULD SPIKE SUDDENLY.
SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR AREAS NEAR THE
EAST SLOPES OF THE WASHINGTON CASCADES.  JOHNSON
