Area forecast discussion, Dec 19, 2:48 PM PST, 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
248 PM PST FRI DEC 19 2014
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...WILL SEE A BRIEF BREAK IN
PRECIP THIS EVENING, THEN A STRONG PACIFIC STORM WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION AND INCREASING WINDS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY. SNOW LEVELS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION WILL BE BETWEEN 3500
AND 4000 FEET OVERNIGHT. THESE SNOW LEVELS WILL GRADUALLY RISE
ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY AS THE PRECIP AND WINDS INCREASE. STILL
UNCERTAIN AS TO THE AMOUNT OF SNOW THAT WILL FALL OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS EAST OF THE CASCADES. THE MAIN SNOW FALL IN THESE AREAS
WILL OCCUR DURING THE DAY SATURDAY, AND WILL THEREFORE HOLD OFF ON
ISSUING ADVISORIES IN THESE AREAS. DO HAVE DECENT CONFIDENCE THAT
SIGNIFICANT SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE, ESPECIALLY ABOVE 2000 FEET, IN
WESTERN KITTITAS COUNTY LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THUS WILL ISSUE
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW IN THIS AREA. WINDS WILL INCREASE
AND BECOME VERY WINDY OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND WILL WIND ADVISORIES FOR A NUMBER OF OUR CENTRAL OREGON AND
WASHINGTON ZONES, AS WELL AS THE BLUE MTN FOOTHILLS. 90
.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...A VERY STRONG
UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM WILL BRING ABOVE NORMAL MOISTURE AND STRONG
DYNAMIC LIFT TO FORECAST AREA SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
THE JET STREAM WILL USHER IN A WARM FRONT WITH DRAMATICALLY RISING
SNOW LEVELS DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY RESULTING IN
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN FALLING ON THE SNOWPACK IN THE MOUNTAINS.
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING IN MUCH OF THE
MOUNTAINS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT RESULTING IN SNOWMELT AND
RUNOFF FROM SNOWMELT AND THE RAIN. AS SUCH AREA RIVERS, STREAMS AND
CREEKS WILL RISE TO OR ABOVE BANKFULL IN SOME AREAS. AT A MINIMUM
1.00-1.50 INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS AND THE
WALLOWA MOUNTAINS FOR THE 36 HOUR PERIOD FROM SUNDOWN ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNUP ON MONDAY. LOWER ELEVATIONS CAN EXPECT TO
RECEIVE ANYWHERE FROM 0.20 TO 1.00 INCH OF RAIN FROM SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. SNOW LEVELS RISE TO AROUND 6000-8000 BY
DAYBREAK ON SUNDAY WITH THE LOWER SNOW LEVELS IN THE WASHINGTON
CASCADES. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGH ON SUNDAY, AROUND 6000 FEET
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WASHINGTON CASCADES AND RISE TO
7500-8500 FEET IN THE CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST OREGON WHILE THE WARM
FRONT REMAINS OVERHEAD ON SUNDAY. SNOW LEVELS LOWER TO 4500-5500
FEET ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WASHINGTON CASCADES SUNDAY NIGHT
AND LOWER TO 6000-7500 FEET SUNDAY NIGHT IN CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
OREGON. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT FOR SINKING AIR YIELDING MAINLY DRY
CONDITIONS, ALTHOUGH THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS WILL KEEP A LOW CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. POLAN
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER
THE AREA THROUGH THE MORNING OF CHRISTMAS EVE. MODELS ARE STRUGGLING
WITH THE AMPLITUDE OF THE HIGH...AS THE ECMWF IS MORE SUPPRESSED AND
WILL PROVIDE A MORE MOIST WESTERLY FLOW TO THE AREA. THE GFS HAS THE
RIDGE MORE AMPLIFIED WITH THE MOISTURE OVERRUNING TO THE NORTH.
ASSUMING MINIMAL CLOUD COVER THIS WOULD PRESENT A FOG SCENARIO FOR
THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.
WEDNESDAY EVENING A WEATHER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA
WITH MORE FAVORABLE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION. BUT MODELS HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING TO HANDLE THE SNOW LEVELS AND WHEN THE RAIN WILL
TRANSITION TO SNOW. LATEST GFS GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS MAY NOT COOL DOWN ENOUGH FOR SNOW BY FRIDAY NIGHT. BUT
THE ECMWF HAS SNOW AT ALL LEVELS LATE CHRISTMAS EVE. RIGHT NOW SNOW
AMOUNTS ARE TOO DIFFICULT TO FORECAST WITH THE RUN TO RUN
INCONSISTENCY AND LACK OF CURRENT MODEL AGREEMENT. AS THE SYSTEM
EXITS THE AREA...COLD DRY NORTHWEST FLOW SETS IN FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE EXTENDED. WEBER
&&
.PREVIOUS AVIATION DISCUSSION...18Z TAFS...A COLD FRONT IS MOVING
ACROSS THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN THIS MORNING WITH KPDT RADAR SHOWING
RAIN AHEAD OF THE FRONT ALONG THE FOOTHILLS OF THE NORTHERN BLUE
MOUNTAINS AND -RA AT KPDT AND KALW, WHICH SHOULD END BY 20Z. AREAS
OF MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBY IN FOG AND LOW STRATUS ARE EXPECTED FOR
REMAINDER OF THIS MORNING WITH SOME IMPROVEMENT AFTER 20Z TO VFR.
HOWEVER, KYKM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MVFR/IFR THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
AFTER 03Z/20TH EXPECT CIGS TO LOWER TO MVFR/IFR WITH SOME FOG
THROUGH OVERNIGHT. LIFR VSBYS ARE NOT EXPECTED SATURDAY MORNING.
