AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
850 PM PST FRI NOV 16 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST IS
SPREADING MOISTURE OVER THE AREA TONIGHT. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL ROTATE A SERIES OF INCREASINGLY STRONGER
WEATHER SYSTEMS THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST BEGINNING SATURDAY AND
CONTINUING THROUGH NEXT WEEK. STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE
EXPECTED AT TIMES.
&&

.SHORT TERM...NWS DOPPLER RADAR SHOWS A BAND OF SHOWERS MOVING NORTH
ALONG THE SW WASHINGTON/NW OREGON COAST AND COAST RANGE THIS EVENING
AS THE UPPER LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST CONTINUES TO SPREAD
MOISTURE OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THE FIRST OF SEVERAL FRONTAL SYSTEMS
MOVING THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THIS WEEKEND CAN BE SEEN LIFTING
A LITTLE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA IN INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY...
WHILE THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUES TO ROTATE IN THE GULF OF
ALASKA. THIS FIRST DISTURBANCE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY
TONIGHT AS IT MOVES INTO THE MEAN UPPER RIDGE THAT EXTENDS INTO
NORTHERN B.C. /27

A SECOND STRONGER DISTURBANCE FARTHER NW...CURRENTLY NEAR 40N/145W
WILL DIG IN OVER THE EAST PACIFIC TONIGHT AND SAT. MODELS HAVE BEEN
FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN PUSHING THE FRONT ONTO THE COAST BY MID SAT
MORNING...AND THROUGH THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA SAT AFTERNOON.
WHILE NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...MODELS DEPICT STRONG MOISTURE
ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT...WHICH COUPLED WITH GOOD DYNAMICS SHOULD BE
GOOD FOR SOLID RAIN EVERYWHERE. SNOW LEVELS ARE RELATIVELY HIGH WITH
THIS SYSTEM INITIALLY...LIKELY ABOVE PASS LEVELS...THOUGH THEY WILL
COME DOWN TO PASS LEVELS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING...POSSIBLY ENOUGH FOR A QUICK FEW INCHES AT THE PASSES. POST
FRONTAL SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED FOR SAT NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. STILL
EXPECT TO SEE STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH ON THE COAST.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON DEEPENING A SURFACE LOW NEAR 50N 130W
SUN NIGHT...SWINGING A STRONG FRONT INLAND LATE SUN INTO MON. THIS
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT HIGH WIND EVENT OF THIS
SEASON...WITH THE LATEST MODEL 850MB AND 925MB WINDS SHOWING A LOW
LEVEL JET OF 65 TO 80 KT. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A HIGH WIND EVENT FOR
THE COAST ON MONDAY MORNING/AFTERNOON.

THE FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES ONSHORE AND STALLS OVER THE FORECAST AREA
BEGINNING MONDAY...WITH AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVENT SETTING UP.	MODEL
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN THE 1 TO 1.25 INCH RANGE
ALONG WITH A VERY STRONG ONSHORE FLOW COMPONENT SHOULD LEAD TO HIGH
RAINFALL RATES...PARTICULARLY IN THE COAST RANGE. A FAIRLY MILD
AIRMASS WILL ACCOMPANY THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVENTS...SO SNOW SHOULD
BE CONFINED TO THE CASCADES. EXPECT SKI RESORTS WILL PICK UP
SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATIONS. LIKENS

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...MON NIGHT
THROUGH FRI...AT THIS POINT...IT LOOKS LIKE THE STRONGEST WINDS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BE DURING THE DAY MON...WITH
WIND SPEEDS DROPPING OFF SOMEWHAT MON NIGHT. HOWEVER THE BAROCLINIC
ZONE WILL STALL OVER THE REGION...KEEPING HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUING
THROUGH AT LEAST MIDWEEK. MODEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS INDICATE
THAT MON WILL BE THE PEAK OF THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVENT...BUT THERE
IS STILL PRETTY IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE TRANSPORT ALONG WITH A STRONG
ONSHORE COMPONENT TO THE FLOW ON TUE. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY
HIGH...MAINLY STAYING ABOVE CASCADE PASS LEVELS. ANOTHER SHOT OF
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY AS THE BAROCLINIC ZONE BECOMES
ORIENTED N TO S AND PUSHES INLAND. WITH ALL OF THE RAINFALL EXPECTED
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK...FLOODING ON AREA RIVERS AND
STREAMS WILL CERTAINLY BE A POSSIBILITY.

BEYOND WED...THE FCST GETS TRICKY AS THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE
SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. THE GFS AND ITS ENSEMBLES
KEEP AN AMPLIFIED TROUGH OFF THE PAC NW COAST...WHILE THE ECMWF AND
ITS ENSEMBLES SHOW A FLATTER MORE PROGRESSIVE SOLUTION. THESE
DIFFERENCES WILL AFFECT THE TIMING OF FRONTS AND THE SNOW LEVELS
OVER THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. BUT EITHER WAY...THE WET WEATHER
LOOKS TO CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THE COOLER GFS SOLUTION WITH
THE AMPLIFIED TROUGH WOULD BRING SNOW LEVELS DOWN BELOW THE CASCADE
PASSES AND POTENTIALLY INTO THE FOOTHILLS...WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS
SNOW LEVELS HIGHER MAINLY IN THE SKI RESORTS AND ABOVE. BY THU NIGHT
THE GFS HAS SWUNG THE UPPER LOW INTO THE ROCKIES...LEAVING WEAK
RIDGING IN ITS WAKE...WITH A POSSIBLE DRY BREAK ON FRI. THE FLATTER
EC ALLOWS THE NEXT LOW TO DROP DOWN OUT OF THE G OF A. THIS WOULD
MEAN THE NEXT POTENTIALLY POTENT FRONT WOULD SWING IN ON FRI AND FRI
NIGHT. THE RIDGE IN THE GFS KEEPS THE FRONT AT BAY UNTIL NEXT
WEEKEND. PYLE
&&

.AVIATION...FRONT APPROACHING...BUT E TO SE FLOW OVER THE INTERIOR
WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE INTERIOR UNDER VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT. CIGS
WILL GRADUALLY LOWER TO MVFR AFTER 16Z SAT INLAND. ALONG THE COAST
WILL SEE MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS WITH POCKETS OF MVFR CIGS TONIGHT...
BUT MVFR INCREASES AFTER 12Z AS RAIN INCREASES.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO SAT AM WITH LIGHT
EAST WINDS CONTINUING. WILL SEE INCREASING MVFR AFTER 18Z SAT AS RAIN
INCREASES...ALONG WITH SHIFT TO MORE S TO SE WIND. ROCKEY.
&&

.MARINE...NOT MUCH IN WAY OF CHANGES. LOW PRES ABOUT 500 NM WEST
OF ASTORIA WILL PUSH E A BIT MORE...THEN SHIFT INTO VANCOUVER
ISLAND ON SAT. STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS SAT AM. SOLID GALES EXPECTED...BUT AGAIN WITH SE FLOW AHEAD
OF THE FRONT...STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE JUST OFFSHORE. THE
STRONGER WINDS WILL MOVE CLOSER TO THE COAST EARLY SAT AM. WIND
DROP A BIT BEHIND THE FRONT SAT AFTERNOON. DECENT LONG FETCH
ACROSS THE NE PAC CONTINUES...WITH W TO NW SWELL OF 15 TO 18 FT
THROUGH SAT NIGHT.

A STRONGER SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE WATERS SUN AND MON...WITH STRONG
GALE WINDS...POSSIBLY EVEN STORM FORCE WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY. NOT WARNINGS YET AS WILL WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST FRONT HAS
PUSHED INLAND ON SAT BEFORE ADDING MORE HEADLINES. LARGE SEAS
WITH PERIODIC GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS A
PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FRONTS THROUGH
EVERY ONE OR TWO DAYS.
