.SYNOPSIS...THE FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND
NORTHWEST OREGON OVERNIGHT WILL LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATER
TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT. SNOW LEVELS BRIEFLY JUST BELOW CASCADE
PASSES WILL RISE AGAIN LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE NEXT IN A SERIES
OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY. THIS ONE
WILL AGAIN BE QUITE STRONG WITH STRONG WINDS AGAIN NEAR THE COAST AND
WINDY CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP MONDAY AFTERNOON
AND MONDAY NIGHT AND WITH A GOOD SHOT OF SNOW IN THE CASCADES. THE
ASSOCIATED COLD PARENT UPPER LOW WILL THEN BE ALONG THE COAST THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK FOR LOW SNOW LEVELS AND UNSETTLED SHOWERY
WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK.
&&

.SHORT TERM...THE STRONG COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH SOUTHWEST
WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON AND PRODUCED STRONG WINDS OVER A GOOD
PART OF THE AREA HAS MOVED SOUTH THIS MORNING. THE FRONT IS FORECAST
TO LIFT NORTH LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING AS A WARM FRONT AHEAD OF
THE NEXT DEVELOPING STRONG SYSTEM. SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE WITH THE
WARM FRONT BUT NOT BEFORE A FEW INCHES OF CASCADE SNOW LATER TODAY
AND THIS EVENING WITH THE WARM FRONT.

PRECIPITATION WILL EASE LATE TONIGHT BEHIND THE WARM FRONT...BUT THE
THE COLD FRONT WITH THE NEXT STRONG SYSTEM WILL PUSH ONSHORE DURING
THE DAY MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE A STRONG SURFACE LOW WITH IT
AND HIGH WINDS NEAR THE COAST ARE LOOKING LIKELY. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
THE WINDS MAY BEGIN AS EARLY AS MID MORNING MONDAY. THERE IS A SECOND
BIT WEAKER SURGE THAT MAY KEEP THE WINDS GOING UNTIL EARLY EVENING
THOUGH SLIGHTLY WEAKER. PLAN TO ISSUE A WATCH WITH THE FORECAST
PACKAGE THIS MORNING.

SNOW LEVELS DROP WITH THE FRONT AND LOWER TO NEAR THE PASSES LATE
MONDAY. WILL LIKELY NEED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN THE CASCADES
FOR THAT.

ANOTHER WAVE OR POSSIBLE SECONDARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE COLDER AIR
WITH COOLER ASSOCIATED UPPER TROUGH LIFTS NORTH THROUGH OUR FORECAST
AREA TUESDAY THAT WILL INCREASE SHOWERS AGAIN. SNOW LEVELS BY TUESDAY
WILL LIKELY FALL INTO THE ELEVATIONS COVERED BY THE CASCADE FOOTHILLS
AND THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS AND WILL LIKELY NEED HIGHLIGHTS OR
ADVISORIES FOR AREAS ABOVE 1500 TO 2000 FEET.

ALL IN ALL...IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD THIS
WEEK. TOLLESON

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...A COLD UPPER
TROUGH SETTLES OVER THE REGION MID WEEK. PRECIPITATION WILL BE
SHOWERY IN NATURE SO SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FOR THE MOUNTAINS
APPEAR LOW AT THIS TIME. GFS POOLS SOME COLD AIR OVER B.C. THU AND
FRI THOUGH UPPER RIDGE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO REALLY PUSH MUCH OF THAT
AIR MASS INTO EAST OF THE CASCADES.
&&

.AVIATION...PATCHY FOG AROUND THE REGION THIS MORNING THOUGH SHOULD
SEE A RETURN TO VFR CONDITIONS FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY. AS WARM
FRONT BEGINS TO LIFT BACK ACROSS REGION LATE...WILL SEE CLOUDS
INCREASE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...BUT STILL VFR WITH A RETURN TO
SOME MORE SOUPY STUFF IN WARM FRONT. ON COAST...EXPECT INCREASING
MVFR CIGS WITH LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPING AFTER 00Z.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS TODAY...THEN AFTER 00Z CHANCE
FOR RAIN AND MVFR CONDITIONS INCREASE. WOLFE
