AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
247 AM PDT TUE SEP  6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...AN  UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL SUPPORT VERY WARM AND
GENERALLY DRY WEATHER ACROSS THE INTERIOR THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
COOLER WEATHER MAY ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE OVERHEAD FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS PROVIDING VERY WARM AND DRY WEATHER. A SLIGHT BUILDING
OF THE RIDGE AHEAD OF A WEAK SHORTWAVE WEDNESDAY WILL RESULT IN THE
THERMAL LOW REDEVELOPING INTO WESTERN OREGON. THIS WILL RAISE 850 MB
TEMPERATURES AND 1000-500 THICKNESS VALUES RESULTING IN HOT WEATHER
ACROSS THE INTERIOR. THE COAST WILL SEE TEMPERATES PEAKING ON
WEDNESDAY IN THE 70S...WITH LOW 80S NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION AWAY
FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST LINE. HOWEVER...COOLER AIR AND MORE
PERSISTENT MARINE STRATUS WILL ARRIVE ALONG THE COAST THURSDAY.

THE CENTRAL OREGON CASCADES WILL BE ON THE EDGE OF A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND WEDNESDAY...BUT MOISTURE IS LOW AND THERE
APPEARS TO BE A LACK OF FORCING. WILL LEAVE STORMS OUT OF THE
FORECAST FOR NOW. HOWEVER...A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL APPROACH
THE CASCADES ON THURSDAY AND THIS IS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE CURRENT
FORECAST OF SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTH OREGON AND
LANE COUNTY CASCADES.

.LONG TERM... FORECAST MODELS INDICATE THAT A LOW AMPLITUDE
OMEGA-LIKE BLOCKING PATTERN WILL SET UP LATE IN THE WEEK AND THAT
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE UNSEASONABLY HOT WEATHER THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. BLOCKING PATTERNS ARE NOTORIOUSLY HARD FOR MODELS TO
HANDLE MUCH BEYOND A FEW DAYS..AND WILL STICK WITH A GENERAL
PERSISTENCE FORECAST OF HEAT GOING INTO THE WEEKEND. WITH GRADUAL
COOLING MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...INLAND...VFR CONDITIONS IN WEAK ONSHORE FLOW. ALONG THE
COAST...IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING
AND INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THE COASTAL STRATUS WILL SPREAD SLIGHTLY
INLAND TO COASTAL COMMUNITIES THIS MORNING...BUT WITH SUCH A SHALLOW
MARINE LAYER NOT MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER. SMOKE FROM WILDFIRES
GENERALLY BETWEEN 4000 AND 6000 FT.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE TODAY.

&&

.MARINE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WATERS THROUGH MID WEEK.
STRONGER NORTHERLIES DEVELOPING OVER OUTER SOUTHERN WATERS LATE THIS
