AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
840 AM PDT TUE OCT  4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...A STRONG FRONT APPROACHING THE COAST WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BRINGING RAIN TO THE AREA AND
STRONG WINDS TO THE COAST. SHOWERS WILL LINGER IN THE PASSING LOW
WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH
EARLY SATURDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES ONSHORE OVER THE
WEEKEND.
&&

.SHORT TERM...LANGLEY HILL DOPPLER RADAR IS SHOWING SHOWERS
INCREASING OFFSHORE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK OCCLUDED FRONT PASSING TO
THE NORTH. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THIS APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM
CURRENTLY MOVING INSIDE OF 130W. PRECIPITABLE WATER REMAIN HIGH
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...WITH VALUES APPROACHING 2 INCHES. MODELS ARE
VERY CONSISTENT IN THE GENERAL TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM WITH THE MAIN
RAIN SHIELD REACHING THE COAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SOME
HEAVY RAIN LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
COAST AND COAST RANGE. THE JET STREAM IS DRIVING THE BULK OF THE
ENERGY TOWARD THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST AND ELONGATING THE FRONT.
NAM CONTINUES TO SHOW A WAVE DEVELOPING ON THE FRONT LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND MOVING TO THE NORTHERN COASTAL WATERS DURING THE
EVENING...WHICH COULD ENHANCE THE WINDS ALONG THE COAST. THE CURRENT
MODEL RUN HAS THE GRADIENTS MORE SOUTHERLY THAN PREVIOUS RUNS...
GIVING RISE TO POSSIBLE STRONG WINDS OVER THE WATERS AND COASTAL
HEADLANDS. HAVE UPGRADED THE WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING WITH THE
MORNING UPDATE TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF HIGH WINDS ALONG THE
OREGON COASTAL HEADLANDS...WITH ONLY STRONG WINDS EXPECTED IN COASTAL
COMMUNITIES

THE UPPER TROUGH DIGS SOUTH BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH COLDER AIR
ALOFT MOVING OVER THE AREA FOR A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. THREAT OF SHOWERS SHOULD DIMINISH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE
UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST.

THURSDAY SHOULD BE MOSTLY DRY AND A LITTLE WARMER AS THE UPPER LOW
MOVES OVER CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA AND A WEAK RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD IN.
A FEW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE CASCADES EARLY THURSDAY.
LIKENS/BROWN

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...MODELS ARE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT IN BUILDING A RIDGE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT WHICH
WILL MOSTLY LIKELY BE DRY AND CONFIDENCE IN THIS FORECAST IS PRETTY
GOOD. HOWEVER...BY FRIDAY THE MODELS SHOW A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES
MOVING ACROSS THE RIDGE WHICH COULD PRODUCE PRECIPITATION...
ESPECIALLY OVER THE CASCADES. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A STRONGER
FRONTAL SYSTEM REACHING THE NORTHWEST SOMETIME LATE SATURDAY OR
SUNDAY. SCHNEIDER
&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDITIONS MUCH OF TODAY...
WITH POCKETS OF MVFR IN THE VALLEY MAINLY THIS MORNING. AS THE
NEXT STRONG FRONT REACHES THE COAST LATER TODAY AND THIS
EVENING...WILL SEE MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS...FIRST AT THE
COAST BY 00Z...IN THE VALLEY BY 06Z. RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES
AT THE COAST THIS EVENING...WITH IFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES. WILL
ALSO HAVE RATHER STRONG WINDS ALONG THE COASTAL STRIP FOR A FEW
HOURS BEGINNING AROUND 00Z...BUT LIKELY BELOW HIGH WIND CRITERIA
AT THE COASTAL AIRPORTS.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS...WITH A SMALL CHANCE OF MVFR
CIGS THIS MORNING. FRONTAL RAIN WILL BEGIN IN EARNEST AROUND OR
JUST BEFORE 00Z WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN IN THE EVENING THROUGH
MIDNIGHT. MVFR IS AGAIN POSSIBLE DURING THIS PERIOD. PT
&&

.MARINE...SEAS WILL BE 10 TO 12 FT THIS MORNING...BUT WILL LIKELY
RISE TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 FT DUE TO STRONG WIND DRIVEN SEAS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A STRONG FRONT APPROACHES. SEAS WILL
DROP BACK INTO THE LOWER TEENS LATER TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY...
THEN AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN WATERS WILL GET CLIPPED BY SWELL IN THE
MID TEENS AS A SWELL TRAIN HEADS SOUTHEAST TOWARD CALIFORNIA.

GALE FORCE WINDS WILL DEVELOP IN THE OUTER WATERS THIS MORNING AND
SPREAD INTO THE INNER WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM HAS A
STRONGER LOW LEVEL JET WITH IT THAN THE LAST. THE GRADIENT STAY
EASTERLY AHEAD OF THE FRONT BUT THE MODELS NOW INDICATE A
SOUTHERLY COMPONENT MAY DEVELOP RIGHT WITH THE FRONT BETWEEN ABOUT
00Z AND 02Z THAT COULD ALLOW THE WINDS OVER THE COLUMBIA BAR.
SHOULD SEE HIGH END GALE GUSTS TO NEAR 45 KT WITH A FEW POSSIBLY
CLOSE TO 50 KT DURING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. WINDS DROP OFF BY
MIDNIGHT AS THE FRONT MOVES ONSHORE. WINDS ARE MUCH MORE SUBDUED
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. PT
