AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
300 PM PST WED NOV 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK BUT WET LOW PRES SYSTEM COMING IN FROM THE SW OFF
THE PACIFIC WILL OVERRUN A COLD AIR MASS ALREADY IN PLACE LATER
TONIGHT THROUGH THU NIGHT. E WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE GORGE
THROUGH THU NIGHT REFRESHING THE SUPPLY OF COLD AIR IN THE N PART OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THU NIGHT THE FRONT WILL STALL NEAR THE COLUMBIA
RIVER...THEN MOVE S AGAIN FRI AND INTO SOUTHERN OREGON FRI NIGHT.
COLD HIGH PRES WILL REASSERT ITSELF OVER THE INTERIOR PACIFIC NW
OVER THE WEEKEND BRINGING A RETURN TO DRY COOL CONDITIONS.
&&

.SHORT TERM...THE COMPLEX WEATHER FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS IS
COMPLICATED BY MODELS THAT HAVE TENDED TO WAFFLE A BIT ON KEY
THERMAL FEATURES. KEY THINGS TO NOTE THIS AFTERNOON IS THAT THE AIR
MASS THAT MOVED IN DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS APPEARS COLD ENOUGH TO
EXPECT FROZEN OR FREEZING PRECIPITATION WHEN PRECIPITATION BEGINS
LATER TONIGHT OR EARLY FRI...THE TIMING OF PRECIPITATION MOVING UP
FROM THE SW TONIGHT HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT...THE FLOW THROUGH
THE GORGE REMAINS STRONG THROUGH THU WHILE OFFSHORE FLOW CONTINUES
OUT INTO THE N AND CENTRAL WILLAMETTE VALLEY...AND FINALLY MODELS
DIFFER SOME ON HOW QUICKLY AND HOW FAR TO SPREAD A LAYER OF WARMER
AIR ALOFT NORTHWARD THU. CONFIDENCE REMAINS RELATIVELY HIGH IN A
SIGNIFICANT STORM FOR THE GORGE AS COLD AIR REMAINS IN GOOD SUPPLY
WITH A STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW THROUGH THU NIGHT AND MODELS REMAIN IN
GOOD AGREEMENT IN INDICATING PRECIPITATION BAND LIFTING N TO THE
REGION FOR THU AND THU NIGHT. WILL THEREFORE CONVERT THOSE AREAS TO
WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR THE CENTRAL GORGE AND HOOD RIVER
VALLEY...AND A BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THE W GORGE. FURTHER TO THE S
AND W CONFIDENCE LEVELS DECREASE DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES WITH THE
ABILITY TO RETAIN A SUFFICIENTLY COLD SURFACE AIR MASS...AND THE
DEPICTION IN SOME MODELS OF A WARM LAYER ALOFT SPREADING N. WITH THE
LATE START TO THE REMAINING AREAS UNDER A WINTER STORM WATCH...WILL
DELAY CONVERTING ANYTHING ELSE OVER TO A WARNING UNTIL WE GET A LOOK
AT THE 00Z MODEL RUNS. AS IT LOOKS NOW THOUGH...THE PRIME THREAT W
OF THE CASCADES GENERALLY GOES FROM PRIMARILY SNOW NEAR THE COLUMBIA
RIVER...TO FREEZING RAIN IN THE CENTRAL WILLAMETTE VALLEY...TO
MAINLY RAIN ALONG THE COAST AND THE S VALLEY.

MODELS APPEAR TO BE FINALLY SETTLING ON HAVING THE BAROCLINIC ZONE
DROP S FRI...AND INTO SOUTHERN OREGON FRI NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING AN
END TO THE SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN THREAT FRI...BUT A COOL AND DRY
OFFSHORE FLOW IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH SAT AS ANOTHER CANADIAN
HIGH PRES SYSTEM SETTLES DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.

.LONG TERM...MODELS AGREE ON AN UPPER RIDGE DEVELOPING ALONG THE
WEST COAST DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD SAT NIGHT AND SUN...WITH THE
STUBBORN BAROCLINIC ZONE LIKELY TO PUSH S BY SAT NIGHT. GFS TRIES TO
LIFT A WARM FRONT TYPE FEATURE N THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SUN
THROUGH MON NIGHT FOR A THREAT OF RAIN...BUT GIVEN THE DRY ECMWF AND
GEM SOLUTIONS WHICH ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER AND THE
STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE IN ALL MODELS...PREFER TO GO WITH A DRY
FORECAST SUN THROUGH MON NIGHT. DEPICTED AIR MASS COMING FROM THE E
IN AN OFFSHORE FLOW DOES NOT LOOK QUITE AS COLD AS THE PREVIOUS COLD
AIR MASS. TUE AND WED MODELS GENERALLY BREAKING DOWN THE RIDGE TO
ALLOW SOME SORT OF SYSTEM PUSHING THROUGH...SO WILL TREND BACK MORE
TOWARDS CLIMATOLOGY POPS BY MID WEEK. &&

.AVIATION...A DRY AIR MASS AND OFFSHORE FLOW WILL HELP MAINTAIN
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG
WITH GUST OF 40 KTS POSSIBLE NEAR THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE AND
THE ADJACENT CASCADES AND FOOTHILLS. WINDS IN THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTH WILLAMETTE VALLEY AND ALONG THE COAST WILL NOT BE AS
INTENSE.

A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE TONIGHT AND
MOVE INLAND AND EASTWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY FRIDAY. THIS WILL
BRING A MIX OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION. SNOW IS
EXPECTED NORTH OF KSLE AROUND 12Z. HOWEVER...THIS WILL LIKELY
TRANSITION TO A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW SOMETIME AFTER 18Z.
SOUTH OF KSLE WILL SEE A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW AS EARLY AS
06Z TO 08Z. THIS WILL TRANSITION TO RAIN SOMETIME AFTER 15Z. IFR
AND LIFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF FRIDAY. CONFIDENCE OF
WHEN THE PRECIPITATION WILL TRANSITION BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER IS
STILL QUITE LOW AT THE MOMENT AND WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON HOW COLD
IT GETS TONIGHT.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH BLUSTERY
EAST WINDS WITH GUSTS TO 40 KTS. EXPECT SNOW TO DEVELOP AROUND
12Z AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. CONDITIONS WILL
SLOWLY DETERIORATE TOWARDS IFR AROUND 15Z.
&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRES INLAND WILL MAINTAIN GALE FORCE GUSTS OVER THE
NORTHERN WATERS THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN
WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE US SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GUSTS. AREAS
WEST OF THE COASTAL RANGE GAPS COULD CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE
HIGHER GUSTS. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH
LATE TONIGHT. AS THE FRONT STALLS OVER THE SOUTHERN WATERS WE
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS...WITH SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY SEAS POSSIBLE. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE WATERS ON SUNDAY. CONDITIONS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT
BE AS INTENSE...BUT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. A MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM LOOKS TO MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS
LATE IN THE EXTENDED FORECAST...POSSIBLY WED...WITH SMALL CRAFT
WINDS AND SEAS POSSIBLE.
