AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
233 AM PST WED NOV 28 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PERSIST OVER THE
NORTHEAST PACIFIC INTO THE WEEKEND. THE FIRST FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS LOW WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE AREA TODAY FOR SOME RAIN AND
AREAS OF WIND... STRONGEST OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. A SECOND STRONGER
MORE ORGANIZED FRONT IS EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THAT
SYSTEM WILL BRING MORE RAIN AND WIND WITH POSSIBLY STRONGER COASTAL
WINDS. THE OFFSHORE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SYSTEMS THROUGH THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AT REGULAR INTERVALS THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...EASTERLY WINDS CONTINUE TO BLOW THROUGH THE COLUMBIA
RIVER GORGE THIS MORNING...WITH THE KDLS TO KTTD GRADIENT AT -9.1 MB.
MODELS CONTINUE STRONG WINDS EASTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE WEEK. THE
EASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO MIX THINGS UP  AND KEEP THE NORTHERN
VALLEY FREE OF FOG. HOWEVER...THE SOUTHERN VALLEY ALREADY HAS SOME
AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING THIS MORNING.

SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE PARENT LOW SETTING UP IN THE NORTHEAST
PACIFIC NEAR 50N 144W. A LOW OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST NEAR 40N 134W
CONTINUES TO SPREAD HIGHER CLOUDS NORTH OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF THE
NEXT DEVELOPING FRONTAL SYSTEM. THIS FRONT WILL INITIALLY MOVE INTO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS MORNING...THEN LIFT NORTH ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. MOST PLACES WILL SEE RAIN BUT
NOTHING VERY HEAVY. THE HIGHER	CASCADES WILL SEE SNOW...WITH THE
LOWEST SNOW LEVELS NEAR THE CREST DUE TO THE OFFSHORE GRADIENTS.
THERE IS A FAIRLY STRONG SHORT WAVE LIFTING THROUGH OUR AREA IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH AN 850 MB JET OVER 60 KT AND A 300 MB JET AROUND 120
KT. WHILE THE SURFACE GRADIENTS ARE EASTERLY...JUST AS THE SHORT WAVE
LIFTS THROUGH OR JUST IN ITS WAKE WE HAVE A CHANCE OF DECENT WINDS
SURFACING ACROSS OUR AREA...STRONGEST NEAR THE COAST. WILL BE KEEPING
THESE WINDS JUST UNDER HIGH WIND CRITERIA ALONG THE COASTAL BEACHES
AND HEADLANDS...BUT IT COULD GET CLOSE IF THE ON LAND WINDS SHIFT
JUST A BIT FROM BEING DUE EASTERLY.

FOLLOWING THIS IS A SECOND FRONTAL BAND THAT IS MORE CONSOLIDATED AND
AIMED AT WESTERN OREGON FOR LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS FEATURE
HAS 850 MB WINDS NEAR 80 KT AND A 300 MB JET STILL NEAR 120 KT. THIS
SYSTEM IS WETTER BUT THE SNOW LEVELS WILL STILL BE RELATIVELY
HIGH...AGAIN LOWEST NEAR THE CASCADE CREST. THIS FEATURE HAS A BETTER
CHANCE OF PRODUCING HIGH WINDS AT THE COAST...THOUGH THE AMOUNT OF
EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE SURFACE GRADIENT MAY AGAIN KEEP THE WINDS
FROM BEING AS STRONG AS THEY COULD BE OR EVEN SURFACING. INTERIOR
AREAS COULD SEE DECENT WINDS AS WELL.WILL CONTINUE A HIGH WIND WATCH
FOR THE NORTH AND CENTRAL OREGON COASTS AS THEY HAVE THE BEST CHANCE
OF SEEING THE WINDS SHIFT FROM EASTERLY...BUT THERE IS STILL
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THIS EVENT.

THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVE SWINGING THROUGH LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY FOR MORE RAIN AND BREEZES. THE NEXT FRONT IS
EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT. THE NAM SHOWS WEAK INSTABILITY...MODEST
SHEAR... AND FAIRLY COLD TEMPS ALOFT THAT MAY WARRANT A MENTION OF
THUNDER ALONG THE COAST AND COASTAL WATERS FOR BOTH THE INITIAL SHORT
WAVE AND THE FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT. LIKENS

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY...CLOSED UPPER LOW AND LONG WAVE TROUGH THAT HAVE
BEEN ANCHORED IN THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO PROGRESS
SLOWLY EASTWARD ON SATURDAY...BUT NOT BEFORE PUSHING A FEW MORE SHORT
WAVES ONSHORE FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE MOST
VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL COME THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS WAVE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A
TROPICAL MOISTURE TAP...AND ALSO GET UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM THE
LONG WAVE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT MOVING INLAND. THEREFORE...EXPECT THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION AND HIGHEST AMOUNTS DURING THIS TIME. THE
UPPER TROUGH QUICKLY MOVES EASTWARD AFTER IT COMES ONSHORE
SUNDAY...REPLACED BY UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BY MONDAY AS THE LONG WAVE
TROUGH BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE RIDGE...SO WHILE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE RISING EARLY NEXT WEEK...PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY
TO CONTINUE.  BURGESS

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR MOST TAF SITES UNDER
EASTERLY FLOW. IFR/LIFR CLOUD DECK REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTH
WILLAMETTE VALLEY THIS MORNING. WILL MAINTAIN A THREAT FOR SOME
PATCHY IFR FOG POSSIBLE AT KHIO AND KSLE...BUT ITS LOOKING VERY
MARGINAL. EXPECT INCREASING MVFR CIGS AS THE NEXT FRONT BRINGS
RAIN AND BREEZY CONDITIONS TO THE AREA LATE THIS MORNING/AFTERNOON.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY EAST WINDS PERSIST
THROUGH THIS MORNING. RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD SPREAD INTO THE AREA
LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH MARGINAL MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE DAY. /NEUMAN/27
&&

.MARINE...A SERIES OF STORMS ROTATING AROUND A LARGE PARENT STORM
WILL IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE FIRST STORM SYSTEM
WILL SEND A SURFACE TROUGH NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA AS IT
WEAKENS AND SPLITS THIS EVENING. EXPECT SOLID GALE FORCE WINDS
35 TO 45 KT THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH A FEW MARGINAL STORM FORCE
WIND GUSTS NEAR 50 KT NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

WINDS MAY BRIEFLY WEAKEN A BIT LATE TONIGHT...BUT GRADIENTS
QUICKLY TIGHTEN EVEN MORE AS ADDITIONAL FRONTAL SYSTEM SLIDES
EASTWARD INTO THE WATERS. THE BEST THREAT FOR STORM FORCE GUSTS 50
TO 55 KT WILL BE EARLY THURSDAY MORNING OVER THE OUTER WATERS. A
FEW GUSTS NEAR 50 KT MAY REACH THE INNER WATERS...ESPECIALLY NEAR
NEWPORT AS SEVERAL MINI LOW PRESSURE RIDE ALONG THE FRONT. WILL
KEEP GUSTS IN THE HIGHER GALE FORCE CATEGORY AT THIS TIME THOUGH
DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN MODEL GUIDANCE. ADDITIONAL GALES WILL BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH WEEKEND...BUT TIMING REMAINS UNCERTAIN...AS
MODELS ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME RESOLVING THE FAST MOVING
SYSTEMS MOVING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA.

SEAS SHOULD GENERALLY HOVER BETWEEN 15 TO 25 FT LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY. /NEUMAN/27
