AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
941 AM PST MON JAN 16 2012

.SYNOPSIS...COLD ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SHOWERS ONSHORE
TODAY WITH SNOW LEVELS OCCASIONALLY DOWN TO THE LOWEST ELEVATIONS. A
WEAK SURFACE LOW WILL PRODUCE MORE ORGANIZED SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. THIS LOW WILL ALSO PUSH A MODIFIED ARCTIC COLD FRONT INTO
WASHINGTON AND NORTHERN OREGON...BRINGING A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD
AIR ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CASCADES AND POSSIBLY INTO THE
WILLAMETTE VALLEY. A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL FOLLOW TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...LIKELY BRINGING HEAVY SNOW FOR THE GORGE AND
THE CASCADES...POSSIBLY FOR THE PORTLAND METRO AREA AND NORTH COAST
AS WELL. STRONG COASTAL WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM.
MILDER BUT VERY WET AND WINDY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO LAST THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...THE NEXT BATCH OF SHOWERS IS BRINGING ADDITIONAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS TO THE SOUTH WASHINGTON AND NORTH OREGON COAST AND
COAST RANGE THIS MORNING. FURTHER INLAND SHOWERS ARE WEAKER AND MORE
SCATTERED WHICH SHOULD KEEP ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS SPOTTY AND LESS
THAN AN INCH. ALSO AS THE SHOWERS MOVE INLAND SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY LIFTING THE SNOW LEVEL A BIT ABOVE THE
VALLEY FLOOR...BRINGING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH TEMPERATURES
CLIMBING WELL INTO THE 30S.

THE NEXT BIG CHALLENGE WILL BE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE MODIFIED ARCTIC
BOUNDARY OFF THE BC COAST...WHICH IS BEING DRAGGED SOUTHWARD BY THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SWINGING THROUGH TUE MORNING. A FORMIDABLE ARCTIC
AIR MASS HAS BEEN IN PLACE OVER ALASKA FOR DAYS AND IS NOW SPREADING
ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN CANADA. THE SAME AIR MASS IS SPILLING
INTO THE NE PACIFIC OFF THE COAST OF BC RESULTING IN THE MODIFIED
ARCTIC BOUNDARY WHICH WILL DROP SOUTH NEAR THE WA/OR BORDER PRIOR TO
THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT WARM FRONT.

ALONG THE FRONT...MODELS SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THERE WILL BE A
DECENT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THIS WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF ADVISORY ACCUMULATIONS DOWN TO 500 FT
OR POSSIBLY THE VALLEY FLOOR WITH THE HIGHEST SNOW FALL RATES
CENTERED RIGHT AROUND THE MORNING COMMUTE. STRONG ONSHORE FLOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WILL ALSO LEAD TO HEAVIER ACCUMULATIONS
ALONG THE CASCADES AND AROUND THE GORGE AREA. HEAVY SNOW WILL
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY AND PROBABLY WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST.

THIS SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM HAS BEEN THE FOCUS OF MUCH DISAGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE WARMER GFS AND THE COLDER NAM AND GEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS. LITTLE HAS BEEN SETTLED IN THIS MODEL DISAGREEMENT
IN THE PAST 12-24 HOURS. IF THE 00Z NAM/GEM OR EVEN THE RELATIVELY
WARMER 06Z NAM/00Z ECMWF SOLUTION COME TO FRUITION...WE WILL BE
DEALING WITH A MAJOR WINTER WEATHER EVENT FOR SOME OF THE INTERIOR
LOWLANDS INCLUDING THE PORTLAND AND VANCOUVER METRO AREA.  LOOKING AT
THE 03Z SREF...IT SUGGESTS THE PROBABILITY OF 2-METER TEMPS BELOW
FREEZING SHOWS AT GREATER THAN 80 PERCENT FOR PORTLAND AS
PRECIPITATION INTENSIFIES MIDNIGHT TUE NIGHT. AFTER SOME DISCUSSION
WITH HPC IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE WARMER GFS SOLUTIONS WERE NOT
FAVORED AND THE ECMWF SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY GOOD COMPROMISE. LOOKING
AT ALL THIS AND OTHER DATA...FEEL IT IS TIME TO ISSUE A WINTER STORM
WATCH FOR MOST OF OUR NORTHERN ZONES...INCLUDING THE PDX/VUO METRO
AREA...FOR TUE NIGHT AND WED. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY
THOUGH ON ACCUMULATIONS AND WHERE EXACTLY THE RAIN/SNOW LINE WILL BE.
IN ADDITION TO ALL THIS...THERE WILL BE STRONG WINDS ALONG THE COAST
SOUTH OF THE LOW TRACK...AND A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST.  WEAGLE/RUTHFORD

.LONG TERM...FEW CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST THIS
MORNING AS THE FOCUS HAS BEEN ON THE STORMY WEATHER THROUGH MIDWEEK.
A SERIES OF MOIST STORM SYSTEMS CONTINUES TO ROLL ONSHORE INTO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST...SOME WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WIND. MOST
MODELS ARE TRYING TO BRING IN SOME SORT OF STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
NEAR ASTORIA SOME TIME FRI-SUN...BUT THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN
THIS. IF THIS OCCURS THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SOUTHERLY WIND
EVENT IN THE INLAND VALLEYS. ALSO THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF RAIN OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...SO WE WILL NEED TO WATCH THE RIVERS AS MILDER
AIR MOVES IN LATER THIS WEEK.  WEAGLE

&&

.AVIATION...A VERY SIMILAR DAY TODAY COMPARED TO YESTERDAY AS
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE WITH A VARIETY OF FLIGHT
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. EXPECT IFR CIGS OR VIS IN STRONGER SHOWERS.
NEXT FRONT DROPPING IN FROM THE NW TONIGHT INTO TUE WILL LIKELY
BRING MORE WIDESPREAD MVFR ALONG WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION OF A COUPLE OF INCHES TO/NEAR THE
VALLEY FLOOR DURING THE 12Z TO 18Z TIME FRAME. WILL HAVE TO WATCH
THIS CAREFULLY.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...MVFR TO IFR CIGS TODAY IN STRONGER SHOWERS
WITH VFR IN BETWEEN. SOME SHOWERS MAY BRING LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS...THOUGH THE PERIOD TO WATCH IS 12 TO 18Z TUESDAY
MORNING AS THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH BRINGING A FAIRLY GOOD
CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS NEAR THE TERMINAL. A SMALL
LAYER OF WARM AIR AT THE SURFACE MAY IMPEDE THIS. IT IS DEFINITELY
SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON. WOLFE

&&

.MARINE...COOL UNSTABLE AIR MASS REMAINS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
WITH LOW PRES OVER SW CANADA. MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT...AND FOR SEAS WHICH WILL
HOLD BETWEEN 10 AND 13 FT AND GRADUALLY SUBSIDE TO AROUND 10 FT
TONIGHT. CONFIDENCE HIGH ENOUGH WITH STORM SYSTEM FOR LATE TUE AND
WED TO ISSUE STORM WATCH FOR CENTRAL COASTAL WATERS...AND GALE
WATCH FOR THE ZONES TO THE NORTH. COMBINED SEAS BUILDING TO 20 TO
30 FT POSSIBLE WITH THIS STORM. THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN OVER
THE NORTH PACIFIC CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
