AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
212 PM PST MON NOV 21 2011

.SYNOPSIS...THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS IS MOVING
THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS SYSTEM IS SPREADING LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW ACROSS THE DISTRICT. A MUCH STRONGER
FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS WASHINGTON AND OREGON TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY...BRINGING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS TO THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. THE CASCADES MAY START OFF AS SNOW
THEN TRANSITION TO RAIN TUESDAY AS SNOW LEVELS RISE. PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAIN MAY PERSIST AS LONG AS WEDNESDAY...THEN ANOTHER STRONG FRONT IS
POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS RAIN CONTINUING OVER
THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN TO THE MID
TO UPPER 30S IN THE GORGE AND PRECIPITATION HAS CHANGED OVER TO RAIN.
DOPPLER RADAR IS STILL SHOWING GOOD OROGRAPHIC SHOWERS IN THE SOUTH
WASHINGTON CASCADES...AND SCATTERED SHOWERS INTO THE NORTH OREGON
CASCADES THIS AFTERNOON...SO WILL CONTINUE THE SNOW ADVISORY FOR THAT
AREA.

WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN COAST
AND HAVE ENDED THE HIGH WIND WARNING. WINDS ON THE CENTRAL COAST WILL
CONTINUE FAIRLY STRONG THIS AFTERNOON.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE A STRONGER FRONTAL SYSTEM. THE FRONTAL ZONE
WILL LIFT BACK NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT TONIGHT...SPREADING MORE
RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW ACROSS THE DISTRICT. LOW-LEVEL WINDS AND
MOISTURE TRANSPORT BECOME IMPRESSIVE WITH THE WARM FRONT AS THE
MODELS INCREASE THE 850 MB S-SW FLOW TO AROUND 80 KT ALONG COAST AND
ACROSS THE WILLAPA HILLS AND N OREGON COAST RANGE. AS LONG AS THIS
CONTINUES...HEAVY RAIN RATES WILL BE EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS. LOCAL
AMOUNTS OF 1-2 INCHES PER 6 HR PERIOD ARE NOT UNLIKELY. MODELS
CONTINUE THIS RAINFALL INTO TUESDAY NIGHT..THIS COULD PRODUCE 3 TO 8
INCH 24-HOUR TOTALS FOR THESE AREAS IF THE CURRENT MODELS VERIFY.
WITH THESE RAIN RATES...WE WILL MAINTAIN A FLOOD WATCH FOR TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. FLOODING IS ALSO LIKELY ON SMALLER STREAMS AND IN
URBAN AREAS DUE TO LEAVES BLOCKING DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND WILL ISSUE A
SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THIS. MAINSTEM RIVERS ARE STARTING OFF
LOW AND MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM AS A RESULT. WILL NEED TO MONITOR RIVER
FORECASTS CLOSELY IN THE COMING DAYS.

MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE 70-75 KT WINDS JUST A COUPLE THOUSAND
FEET ABOVE THE SURFACE ALONG THE COAST AND ALSO OVER THE INLAND AFTER
THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY TUESDAY MORNING.
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN GUSTS 70-80 MPH ON THE BEACHES AND
HEADLANDS TUESDAY...AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE HIGH WIND WARNING.
HAVE ALSO ISSUED A HIGH WIND ADVISORY FOR THE INLAND VALLEYS TUESDAY
AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE VALLEY

MODELS SHOW DECENT AGREEMENT IN FINALLY ALLOWING THE FRONTAL ZONE TO
SAG SOUTH ACROSS OREGON WEDNESDAY. THERE MAY BE A SHOT OF HEAVY RAIN
FOR THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THIS
OCCURS. EVENTUALLY IT APPEARS RAIN WILL TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY.

YET ANOTHER POTENT FRONT IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON
THANKSGIVING DAY. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AS TO THE TIMING AND
STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND SNOW WILL INCREASE
OVER THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. HIGH WINDS WILL AGAIN BE A
POSSIBILITY AT LEAST OVER THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST...WITH POSSIBLY
SOME GUSTY WINDS IN THE VALLEYS AS WELL. LIKENS

.LONG TERM...YET ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO
AFFECT THE REGION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD LATE
THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...THE
FORECAST MODELS HAVE BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY STRONGER WITH THIS
SYSTEM. BASED ON THE MODEL 850 MB WINDS...IT LOOKS LIKE MORE GUSTY
WINDS MAY BE IN STORE FOR THE COAST. WITH SNOW LEVELS FALLING IN
ASSOCIATION WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...THE CASCADES
AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE COAST RANGE COULD PICK UP MORE
ACCUMULATING SNOW WITH THIS FAIRLY QUICK MOVING FRONT.

MODEL CONSENSUS IS GROWING THAT AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER
THE WEST COAST BY THE END OF THE WEEK..POTENTIALLY GIVING US A DAY
OR TWO BREAK FROM THE WET WEATHER. IT LOOKS LIKE A SHARP TROUGH WILL
TRY TO BRING ANOTHER SYSTEM INTO THE PAC NW SOMETIME LATE IN THE
WEEKEND. MODEL UNCERTAINTY IS PRETTY HIGH AS TO WHEN...OR
WHETHER...THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE RIDGING AND
PROGRESS INTO OUR REGION. AT THIS POINT...DECIDED TO TREND DRIER
WITH THE FORECAST ON FRI AND SAT...THEN BRINGING HIGHER POPS IN FOR
SUN INTO MON. JFP

&&

.AVIATION...BRIEF LULL IN THE ACTION AT MOMENT...BUT MORE LOWER
FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD INLAND THIS EVENING. SHOULD SEE PLENTY
OF LOW VFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS WITH CLOUDS AND SPOTTY PRECIP THIS
EVENING...WITH OBSCURED MTNS. AS NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES...WILL SEE
INCREASING MVFR WITH RAIN AFTER 06Z...WITH INCREASING S WINDS OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN AND ESPECIALLY COAST AFTER 08Z...WITH S GUSTS OF 55
TO 70 KT LIKELY THERE. FURTHER INLAND...GUSTY S WINDS NOT EXPECTED
TIL AFTER 12Z...WHERE GUSTS 35 TO 45 KT LIKELY THROUGH TUE
AFTERNOON. RAIN AND MVFR TO CONTINUE THROUGH TUE.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...LOW END VFR THIS EVENING AS AREA LIES BETWEEN
SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...EXPECT INCREASING MVFR AFTER 07Z WITH RAIN. WINDS
REMAIN E TO SE...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WITH
SOUTH WINDS SITTING 2000 FEET ABOVE SURFACE. S GUSTS NOT LIKELY TO
REACH KPDX RUNWAYS TIL AFTER 15Z TUE...THEN MODERATE POTENTIAL OF
GUSTS REACHING 40 KT.					  ROCKEY.
&&

.MARINE...WINDS REMAIN GUSTY THIS EVENING...AND WILL GRADUALLY RAMP
UP AGAIN AFTER DARK. A SLOW MOVING LOW AND FRONT PUSH INTO THE
REGION TONIGHT...WITH STORM FORCE WINDS DEVELOPING OVER THE OUTER
WATERS THIS EVENING...AND SPREADING TO THE INNER WATERS BY OR JUST
AFTER MIDNIGHT. S WIND GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 KT LIKELY. SEAS MOSTLY
DOMINATED BY SHORT PERIOD WAVES...BUT WITH WINDS AND SWELL WILL SEE
COMBINED SEAS BUILD UP TO 24 TO 27 FT LATER TONIGHT AND HOLD AT THAT
RANGE THROUGH TUE.
