AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
841 AM PDT TUE MAR 13 2012

.SYNOPSIS...A COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE PACIFIC
NW TODAY. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL LIFT A WARM FRONT INTO THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT EARLY THU. ANOTHER
STORM SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE REGION AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM...STILL DEALING WITH THE STORM SYSTEM FROM YESTERDAY.
PRIMARY WEATHER IMPACTS TODAY WILL BE SNOW AND THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL. INFRA-RED SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS THE COLD
UPPER POOL OFF THE WA AND N OREGON COAST. LATEST NAM INDICATES -36C
500 MB TEMPS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COLD POOL. ALREADY HAD REPORTS OF
THUNDERSNOW ON THE N OREGON COAST EARLIER THIS MORNING.

MAIN INITIAL WEATHER CONCERN TODAY CONTINUES TO BE LOW-ELEVATION
SNOW. THE KSLE 12Z SOUNDING CAME IN WITH AN 850 MB TEMP OF -5C.
IDEALLY...FOR SNOW TO REACH THE VALLEY FLOOR WE NEED -7C TO -8C 850
MB TEMPS AND 1000-500 MB THICKNESSES NEAR 520 DM. DESPITE AN 850 MB
TEMP OF -5C...THE POWER OF DYNAMIC COOLING WITH AND BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT PLAYED A BIG ROLE IN FORCING SNOW LEVELS TO SEA LEVEL LAST
NIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING. NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS FROM YESTERDAY DID
QUITE WELL. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TODAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA. THE AIR MASS WILL MIX OUT A BIT THIS MORNING WITH
THE END OF THE STEADIER PRECIPITATION...BUT SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN
NEAR THE VALLEY FLOORS THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN HEAVIER SHOWERS.
HOWEVER...ANY ADDITIONAL STICKING SNOW THIS MORNING WILL BE CONFINED
TO ELEVATIONS AT AND ABOVE 500 FEET. THE 1000-500MB THICKNESS VALUES
AND H8 TEMPS STILL SUPPORT SNOW SHOWERS DOWN INTO THE COAST RANGE AND
CASCADE FOOTHILL ELEVATIONS TODAY...WITH A DECENT ONSHORE FLOW
CONTINUING EARLY TODAY. OROGRAPHICS WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY THIS
AFTERNOON. SO OVERALL...WILL LET THE MOUNTAIN WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES
CONTINUE TODAY...WITH THE EXPECTATION OF SHOWERS DECREASING IN THE
AFTERNOON.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE NEXT SYSTEM FOR LATE TONIGHT AND WED.
MODELS INDICATE LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT...WHICH WILL ALLOW SNOW LEVELS TO COME UP TO AT LEAST 1000 TO
1500 FEET. HOWEVER...OFFSHORE LOW-LEVEL COMPONENT WILL KEEP SNOW
LEVELS LOWER THAN THAT IN AREAS SUCH AS NEAR HOOD RIVER AND THE UPPER
HOOD RIVER VALLEY. THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE NEAR AS POTENT AS THE LAST
ONE...BUT THE LATEST NAM AND 00Z WRF-GFS INDICATE BOUNDARY LAYER
WINDS OF 35-40 KT ALONG THE OREGON COAST LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WED.
WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE OREGON COAST ZONES.
THIS WILL BE MAINLY A HEADLAND EVENT. LEFT OUT THE S WA COAST AS IT
APPEARS THERE IS TOO MUCH EAST COMPONENT. IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH...AN
EVEN STRONGER SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA LATE WED
NIGHT AND THU. WEISHAAR

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.
MODELS REMAIN PERSISTENT IN THEIR COOL AND WET WEATHER SOLUTION
THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET AND LONGWAVE
TROUGHING PATTERN WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN PAC AT LEAST THROUGH
THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND. A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL IMPACT THE
REGION INTO FRIDAY...BRINGING ABUNDANT PRECIP AMOUNTS AND SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS CONFINED TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
CASCADES. SHOWERY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
SNOW LEVELS GRADUALLY DROP AS THE TROUGH DIGS FURTHER SOUTH LATE
FRIDAY...FLIRTING NEAR 1000 FT THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND. 27

&&

.AVIATION...WE WILL BE IN THE COOL SHOWERY ONSHORE FLOW TODAY AS A
COOL UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH WITH COLD TOPPED SHOWERS ON IR
SATELLITE MOVING THROUGH. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOW AND CLOSE TO THE
VALLEY FLOOR AT TIMES. MVFR CONDITIONS PREVALENT THIS MORNING WITH
AREAS OF IFR...SHOULD LIFT SOME IN THE AFTERNOON WITH POSSIBLY A
BIT OF VFR MIXING IN AT TIMES IN BREAKS BETWEEN SHOWERS. SHOULD
SEE SOME MVFR RETURN TO THE COAST LATER TONIGHT WITH THE NEXT
SYSTEM...REACHING INLAND WEDNESDAY MORNING. PT

KPDX AND APPROACHES...MVFR CONDITIONS THIS MORNING WITH OCCASIONAL
IFR POSSIBLE IN RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. A MIXTURE OF VFR AND MVFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH THE LOWER
CONDITIONS DUE TO HEAVIER SHOWERS. MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT
THOUGH MAY SEE MVFR CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH THE NEXT
FRONT MOVING IN. PT
&&

.MARINE...CONTINUED ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEK. COLD
UPPER TROUGH TODAY WILL BRING STRONG SHOWERS WITH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WINDS...GUSTS TO 30 OR EVEN CLOSE TO 35 KT LOCALLY. AFTER
A BRIEF BREAK THIS EVENING...THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BRING GALE FORCE
WINDS TO THE WATERS LATER TONIGHT AND A GOOD PART OF WEDNESDAY...
WITH GUSTS TO 45 KT POSSIBLE. ANOTHER MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH STORM FORCE WINDS
POSSIBLE. YET ANOTHER LOW IS POSSIBLE FRIDAY THOUGH THERE IS SOME
MODEL DISAGREEMENT...AT LEAST GALES ARE POSSIBLE. SEAS WILL STAY
IN THE TEENS FOR A WHILE...PEAKING 15 TO 20 FT WEDNESDAY AND
POSSIBLY ABOVE 20 FT THURSDAY. PT
