AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
323 PM PDT SAT MAY 14 2011

UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SHORT TERM...FLOODING POTENTIAL FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS AND THE
THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING HIGHLIGHT THE FORECAST
CHALLENGES TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE COAST CONTINUES TO SEND
A STREAM OF MOISTURE INTO THE AREA ALONG WITH COLDER AIR ALOFT. WITH
DAYTIME HEATING THIS AFTERNOON...VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS HAVE
DEVELOPED. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS UNDERWAY AND SHOULD CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EVENING WITH DECREASING INTENSITY AFTER SUNDOWN. THUS
FAR THE MAIN THREAT HAS BEEN HEAVY RAIN OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF
NORTHEAST OREGON. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING OUTFLOW WINDS FROM
THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED WITH SOME OF THE STORMS AND HAVE KEPT
A MENTION OF SEVERE POTENTIAL IN THE FORECAST THIS EVENING. AS THE
WAVE THAT IS HELPING TO TRIGGER THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
MOVES NORTH...IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT RAIN WILL BECOME STRATIFORM
OVER NIGHT AND A DEFORMATION BAND IS EXPECTED OVER THE WASHINGTON
CASCADES...ESPECIALLY IN YAKIMA COUNTY. HAVE FORECAST AN INCH TO AN
INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN BY TOMORROW MORNING IN THAT AREA WITH
ANOTHER HALF INCH OR SO TOMORROW. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE UP
TO A HALF INCH OF RAIN...CLOSER TO A QUARTER INCH IN CENTRAL OREGON.
ON SUNDAY THE UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO MOVE ASHORE IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. THIS WILL PLACE THE SOUTHERLY FLOW OF MOISTURE FURTHER
EAST AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE OCHOCO-JOHN
DAY HIGHLANDS AND EASTERN WALLOWA COUNTY. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS ARE STILL
ANTICIPATED AND OVERCAST SKIES WILL KEEP HELP TEMPERATURES DOWN 10
TO 15 DEGREES TOMORROW. SUNDAY NIGHT THE LOW WILL BE MORE OR LESS
STATIONARY ALONG THE COASTLINE AND THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY IN THE
MOUNTAINS. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS WILL BE DECLINING WITH A TENTH OR
TWO IN THE MOUNTAINS AND A TENTH OR LESS ELSEWHERE. BY MONDAY THE
LOW WILL BE DISSIPATING INTO A BROAD TROUGH AND THE AREA WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE A CHANCE OF LIGHT SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE 50S AND LOWER 60S ON MONDAY.
PERRY

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...A LARGE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO THE MIDDLE
OF NEXT WEEK. UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ON TUESDAY MAY LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS. BY WEDNESDAY...TWO LOW PRESSURE
CENTERS WITHIN THE TROUGH WILL SPLIT. ONE WILL HEAD NORTH INTO
CANADA AND THE SECOND SOUTH TOWARD THE FOUR CORNERS. THIS WILL LEAD
TO THE REGION SEEING DRIER CONDITIONS. MODELS HOWEVER DISAGREE WITH
THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE SOUTHERN LOW. SHOULD THE SLOWER SOLUTION
(EUROPEAN) BE CORRECT...WRAP AROUND MOISTURE COULD BE POSSIBLE INTO
THE FAR NORTHEAST MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. BY THE END
OF THE WEEK...THE TROUGH WILL HAVE SHIFTED EAST...THOUGH ITS
MOVEMENT WILL BE SLOW DUE TO A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
EASTERN PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES. A SMALL RIDGE WILL MOVE INLAND
OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR CONTINUED DRIER CONDITIONS...THOUGH
AGAIN...SHOULD THE LARGE TROUGH SLOW DOWN FURTHER...WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE MAY STILL LEAD TO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE NORTHEAST
MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH INLAND BY THE END OF THE
WEEK AND WEEKEND...THOUGH MODELS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH THE EXACT
TIMING OF THE SYSTEM. CURRENT MODEL RUNS SEEM TO BE SLOWING DOWN THE
SYSTEM...WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE NEED TO DECREASE THE PRECIPITATION
CHANCES FURTHER SHOULD MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO SLOW THE SYSTEM DOWN.

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS...AN ACTIVE DAY CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION
THIS EVENING AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INLAND WITH UNSTABLE
CONDITIONS LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS. MOST OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS OREGON AND MOVE NORTH-NORTHWEST
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. KPSC...KPDT...AND KALW HAVE THE
BEST CHANCE FOR SEEING THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...THOUGH CANNOT
RULE OUT SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES AT KYKM...KDLS...KRDM OR KBDN. HAVE
KEPT CB WORDING INTO THIS EVENING FOR ALL TAF SITES DUE TO THE
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS. WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE SITUATION TO
ADD TS WHEN A THUNDERSTORM HEADS TOWARD A TAF SITE. THUNDERSTORMS
ARE PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN AND MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.
MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE UNDER THE HEAVY SHOWERS.
THE CONVECTIVE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE STRATIFORM
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY ACROSS THE REGION WITH A BAND OF VERY HEAVY RAIN
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BLUE MOUNTAINS NORTH AND
WEST INTO THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WASHINGTON CASCADES. THIS MAY LEAD
TO VERY HEAVY RAIN AT KYKM TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AT KDLS AND
KPSC TONIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM. DMH

A DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC...WEST OF OREGON...WILL
KEEP A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. AT THE
SAME TIME A STRONG DISTURBANCE WILL SWING AROUND THIS UPPER LOW AND
MOVE ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS
DISTURBANCE WILL SET OFF NUMEROUS SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THE
ENERGY FROM THE DISTURBANCE WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME OF
THE THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. THERE ALSO
IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED
A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN OREGON AND
SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON.

THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN TODAY
AND THIS EVENING. ALSO...OVER SOUTH CENTRAL WASHINGTON...A STEADY
FALL OF HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. ALL OF THE RAIN
FALL WILL LEAD TO RISES ON AREA RIVERS...AND FLOOD WATCHES ARE IN
EFFECT FOR THE AREAS LISTED ABOVE. AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD
WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR YAKIMA AND KITTITAS COUNTIES AS WELL.
PLEASE REFER TO PRODUCTS PDXFFAPDT AND PDXFLWPDT FOR MORE DETAILS.

ONSHORE MONDAY...AND INLAND ON TUESDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES
INLAND...CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD PERSIST INTO
