AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
215 PM PST TUE MAR 1 2011

.SYNOPSIS...WARM AIR PUSHING BACK ACROSS THE REGION...BUT WINDY
SYSTEM OFFSHORE WILL SEND A STRONG COLD FRONT BARRELING ACROSS THE
PAC NW ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT STRONG WINDS ON THE COAST LATE TONIGHT
AND WED...THEN COOLER WITH SHOWERY WEATHER FOR NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
UNSETTLED WEATHER LOOKS TO CONTINUE RIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...STILL HAVE WARM FRONT THAT LIES ACROSS SW WASHINGTON
BUT IT IS MOVING N. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR CONTINUES TO SHOW
RAIN DECREASING OVER THE REGION...AND THE REMAINING RAIN MOSTLY
CONCENTRATED OVER FAR N COAST RANGE AND OVER W WASHINGTON.
TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED CONSIDERABLY...WITH 50S REPORTED AS FAR
NORTH AS SALEM AND LINCOLN CITY AT 1 PM. SNOW LEVEL ALSO RISING AS
WARMER AIR TAKES OVER. AT 1 PM...SNOW LEVEL OVER N CASCADES UP TO
AROUND 4000 FT. WILL BE A BALMY NIGHT ACROSS LOWLANDS AS REGION
REMAINS IN WARM SIDE. TEMPS OVER FAR NORTH WILL LIKELY HOLD STEADY OR
RISE SOMEWHAT TONIGHT AS WARMER SOUTH WINDS KICK IN...ESPECIALLY ON
THE FOOTHILLS AND COAST RANGE AND WILLAPA HILLS.

ATTENTION STILL FOCUSED ON STRONG DEVELOPING LOW OFFSHORE. WATER
VAPOUR AND IR IMAGERY SHOWING VERY WELL DEFINED LOW TAKING SHAPE NEAR
39N AND 135W. MODELS AGREE IN MOST PART IN TAKING THIS LOW A BIT MORE
TO THE E/NE BEFORE TURNING IT MORE NORTHWARD AROUND 130W LATER
TONIGHT AND EARLY WED. LOW WILL BOTTOM OUT AROUND 964 MB JUST TO W/SW
OF VANCOUVER ISLAND ABOUT WED MIDDAY. COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ONSHORE
AROUND 7 TO 9 AM WED...AND RACE QUICKLY EASTWARD.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN. WILL HAVE ENOUGH GRADIENT TO POP HIGH WINDS
ON THE COAST...BUT MODEL TREND OF PULLING THE LOW FURTHER TO W OF
130W INDICATES BEST/STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ON THE HEADLANDS AND
ESPECIALLY OUT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. WILL GO WITH GUSTS 70 TO 75
MPH ON HEADLANDS...BUT 55 TO 65 MPH FOR REST OF COASTAL AREAS AWAY
FROM HEADLANDS. BY EARLY WED AFTERNON...WINDS WILL BE RELAXING EARLY
IN THE AFTERNOON...FROM S TO N.

AFTERWARDS...REMAIN IN MUCH MORE UNSTABLE AIR MASS...WITH PLENTY OF
SHOWERS FOR NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO POP
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLY AGAIN THU
AFTERNOON. WITH MUCH LOWER FREEZING LEVELS...AROUND 2000 FT...
SHOULD SEE SMALL HAIL WITH SOME OF THESE TSTORMS.        ROCKEY.

.LONG TERM...THE EXTENDED PERIOD REMAINS ACTIVE AND UNSETTLED...WITH
ANOTHER STRONGER SYSTEM PASSING THROUGH THE PAC NW LATER FRI INTO
SAT. MODEL DETAILS START TO VARY MORE AFTER THAT BUT ADDITIONAL
SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED. TOLLESON
&&

.AVIATION...A WARM FRONT SLOWLY LIFTS NORTH THIS EVENING...
ALLOWING SHOWERS AND LOW VIS/CIGS TO BRIEFLY IMPROVE. SITES BEHIND
THE FRONT ARE REPORTING VFR CONDITIONS...WHILE AHEAD OF IT A MIX
OF MVFR/IFR/LIFR CIGS PERSIST. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM ARRIVES
TONIGHT...BRINGING STRONG WINDS TO THE COAST OVERNIGHT AND INTO
WED MORNING.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...CONDITIONS WILL BRIEFLY IMPROVE TO VFR THIS
EVENING AS A WARM FRONT DEPARTS FROM THE AREA...THEN A MIX OF
VFR/MVFR SHOULD PREVAIL AFTER 06Z. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED AFTER 12Z
AS A COLD FRONT BEGINS MOVING ONSHORE.
&&

.MARINE...A STRONG SYSTEM RAPIDLY INTENSIFIES AS IT CROSSES OVER
THE WATERS TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. EXPECT WINDS TO GRADUALLY INCREASE
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THIS EVENING...BEGINNING WITH SCA WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON AND BECOMING GALE FORCE WINDS BY THIS EVENING. STORM
FORCE WINDS SHOULD BEGIN AROUND 06Z TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT STRONG GUSTS IN THIS CATEGORY ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGHOUT THE STORM. SEAS WILL BE IN THE 20 TO 25 FT RANGE
TONIGHT... BUT 25 TO 30 FT SEAS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTIONS
ESPECIALLY AROUND 18Z WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS SYSTEM IS A FAST
MOVER...AND APPEARS TO DEPART THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE
END OF THIS WEEK WILL BE RATHER MELLOW...UNTIL YET ANOTHER STRONG
SYSTEM AIMS FOR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST OVER THE WEEKEND.
