AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
239 AM PST TUE JAN 8 2013

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH
OF THE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. WARM ADVECTION PRECIPITATION WILL
BREAK OUT THIS MORNING AND THEN LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY WITH THE FRONT.
SOME SNOW MAY OCCUR WITH THIS MORNING OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS
WHERE THE SNOW LEVELS ARE STILL LOW...BUT AMOUNTS WILL BE BELOW
HIGHLIGHT THRESHOLDS. SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE TO ABOVE 5000 FEET WITH
THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. THE WIND WILL BECOME THE PRIMARY CONCERN
TODAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY IN THE WARM SECTOR. THE NAM IS THE MOST
BULLISH WITH THE LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS SUGGESTING WARNING LEVEL
WINDS IN SEVERAL AREAS. HOWEVER GIVEN THE WARM ADVECTION PROFILE AND
ALSO THE STABLE SURFACE BASED LAYER...HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH WIND
ADVISORIES IN SEVERAL AREA FOR NOW. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS THE YAKIMA
VALLEY WHERE A HIGH WIND WARNING WILL BE ISSUED. THERE IS A GOOD
POTENTIAL FOR A MOUNTAIN WAVE TO FORM THERE BY THIS EVENING. THIS
COULD RESULT IN SUDDEN BURSTS OF DAMAGING WINDS. THE WINDS WILL
GENERALLY SUBSIDE BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA. THE SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER BUT SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY THRESHOLDS. 78

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT BRINGING MUCH COLDER AIR
TO THE REGION. THIS WILL CAUSE SNOW LEVELS TO DROP BACK DOWN BELOW
1000 FEET BY THURSDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH SNOW SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH
DURING THIS PERIOD...LINGERING MOISTURE AND NORTHERLY UPSLOPE FLOW
WILL ALLOW FOR 1 TO 3 MORE INCHES TO ACCUMULATE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF
NORTHEAST OREGON BETWEEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY EVENING.
NORTHERLY FLOW WILL THEN PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY WITH DAYTIME HIGHS
ONLY IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE TEENS TO
LOW 20S. OCCASIONAL LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF ANY
WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCES THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE AREA IS LOW DUE TO
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF. DRIER THOUGH SLIGHTLY WARMER
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE PACIFIC PUSHES SLOWLY EASTWARD. BY TUESDAY DAYTIME HIGHS
COULD CLIMB INTO THE MID 30S TO NEAR 40 DEGREES ACROSS CENTRAL
OREGON AND INTO THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN. THERE ARENT ANY
SIGNIFICANT WIND EVENTS ANTICIPATED DURING THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...BUT WINDS MAY BECOME LOCALLY BREEZY AT TIMES.  TRIMARCO

&&

.AVIATION...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...06Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. CLOUD COVER WILL
GRADUALLY THICKEN AND LOWER LATER TONIGHT AS ANOTHER WARM FRONT
APPROACHES THE AREA. WILL INTRODUCE RAIN OR RAINSHOWERS AT ALL SITES
EXPECT KRDM AND KBDN WHERE RAINSHADOW AFFECTS WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE
VICINITY SHOWERS. FOR NOW WILL ALSO GO WITH MVFR CIGS/VIS AT KDLS,
KYKM, KALW AND KPDT AS THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED RAIN MOVES THROUGH
TUESDAY. BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVIER RAIN MAY CAUSE LOWER CONDITIONS.
THE MVFR CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR AT KPSC, BUT AM NOT AS CONFIDENT AT
THIS TIME. WINDS THIS EVENING HAVE LARGELY DRIED THE LOW LEVELS AND
DO NOT EXPECT ANY FOG PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE RAIN. WINDS AROUND
16 KTS SUSTAINED AT KALW AND KPSC SHOULD DECREASE BY 10 UTC.
OTHERWISE SUSTAINED WINDS WILL RUN BETWEEN 5 AND 13 KTS. 90
