WEAGLE/ROCKEY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
1040 AM PST TUE FEB  4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...COLDER CANADIAN AIR WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST
WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON TODAY AND REMAIN THROUGH AT LEAST
FRIDAY. STRONG EAST WIND WILL RESULT IN EXTREMELY COLD WIND CHILLS TO
MANY AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN THE MOUNTAINS. A SWITCH TO MOIST
WEST FLOW ALOFT SATURDAY WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SNOW FOR MOST AREAS
TRANSITIONING TO FREEZING RAIN...AND EVENTUALLY RAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM UPDATE...SEVERAL REPORTS OF SNOW FLURRIES AND EVEN SOME
MINIMAL ACCUMULATIONS AROUND HOOD RIVER AND IN THE N OREGON CASCADES
AND FOOTHILLS THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY SEEMS TO BE THE RESULT OF
NORTHWEST TO NORTH JET STREAK BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA...PROVIDING
ENOUGH LIFT TO THE LOW LEVEL CLOUD DECK TO PRODUCE ACTUAL PRECIPITATION.
EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY TO PERSIST THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON
THEN DIMINISH AS THE JET STREAK SHIFTS TO THE EAST. REST OF THE SHORT
TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

NW-N FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING. THERE IS STILL
A SLIGHT CYCLONIC NATURE TO THE FLOW...AND COUPLED WITH A JET MAXIMUM
NEAR THE CASCADES... ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS PERSISTED. NWS DOPPLER
RADAR IMAGERY AT 1630Z INDICATES SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE CASCADES
AND POSSIBLY OVER THE NORTH OREGON COAST RANGE. CASCADE WEB CAMS SHOW
SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION ON ROADS BUT NOTHING FALLING. HAVE LEFT
IN THE ISOLATED SHOWERS THROUGH THE MORNING. DESPITE THE MID-LEVEL CLOUD
COVER OVER THE AREA...EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES WERE STILL ABLE TO
DIP INTO MID 20S TO LOWER 30S. LOW STRATUS IN THE S WILLAMETTE VALLEY
KEPT MOST AREAS JUST ABOVE FREEZING. LOWERING DEW POINTS SHOW THAT
DRIER AIR IS BEGINNING TO FILTER INTO THE AREA. THE KTTD-KDLS
GRADIENT WAS JUST UNDER -4 MB AT 16Z...WITH KTTD REPORTING EAST WIND
TO 15 KT AND ROOSTER ROCK GUSTING TO 20 KT OR SO. THE GORGE GRADIENT
WILL ONLY GET STRONGER AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.

THE EAST TO NORTHEAST GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH
WED...AND IS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 7 MB BY 00Z WED AND THEN UP TO
NEAR 10 MB BY 12Z WED. THE NAM HAS BEEN A LITTLE UNDERDONE WITH THE
GRADIENT DURING THE PAST COUPLE OF EPISODES. 850 MB TEMPS PLUNGE TO
NEAR -18C AT KCZK BY 12Z WED AND TO -10C AT KPDX. THUS...THE NAM MAY
NOT BE HANDLING THE DEPTH AND MAGNITUDE OF THE COLD AIR WHICH MAY
LEAD TO STRONGER HIGH PRES EAST OF THE CASCADES AND A LARGER PRES
GRADIENT. THE NAM INDICATES 30 KT BOUNDARY LAYER SUSTAINED WIND AT
THE WEST END OF THE GORGE 06Z WED...WITH 45 KT AT 925 MB. WITH
EVERYTHING TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION...HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE NORTH WILLAMETTE VALLEY AND
SOUTHERN CLARK COUNTY...CLOSEST TO THE GORGE...AND ALSO IN THE WEST
HILLS OF PORTLAND. THIS ADVISORY WILL RUN FROM 06Z WED THROUGH 06Z
FRI. ALSO...WILL BE HOISTING A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE WEST END OF
THE GORGE FOR THE SAME TIME FRAME. SHOULD THE KTTD-KDLS GRADIENT
EXCEED 11 MB...THEN GUSTS TO 80 MPH AT CORBETT ARE QUITE POSSIBLE.
WILL ALSO BE CONSIDERING A WIND CHILL WARNING FOR THE CASCADES FOR
WED THROUGH THU. EXPECTED DAYTIME PASS TEMPS WILL BE IN THE
SINGLE-DIGITS WITH LOWS AT 0 OR SLIGHTLY BELOW. ALL IT TAKES IS 15
MPH TO ACHIEVE -20F WIND CHILL...WHICH IS WARNING CRITERIA.

COLD AIR NORTH AND EAST OF THE CASCADES WILL CONTINUE TO POUR INTO
THE FORECAST AREA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND RESULT IN VERY
COLD TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM. WIND CHILLS NEAR 0
CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR THE GORGE WED THROUGH THU. ANOTHER POTENTIAL
ISSUE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF PRECIP THU. THE LATEST NAM AND DEVELOP A
CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER SRN WA...NRN OREGON AND CENTRAL IDAHO 00Z THU
AND THEN RETROGRADE IT WWD WED NIGHT. BY 00Z FRI THE GFS HAS IT
CENTERED OVER NRN WA WHILE THE ECMWF HAS IT MORE SOUTH AND EAST.
THERE IS NO REFLECTION OF THIS LOW AT THE SURFACE...WITH STRONG
OFFSHORE LOW-LEVEL FLOW. THIS FLOW APPEARS TO WEAKEN A LITTLE
THU...BUT BELIEVE THE MODELS MAY BE CUTTING IT OFF TOO SOON AND TOO
MUCH. MODELS INDICATE THE MAIN AREA OF QPF ACTUALLY OVER SRN OREGON
THU AFTERNOON...BUT THE GFS HINTS AT SOME PRECIP GETTING INTO THE SRN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA 00Z FRI. THE ECMWF IS DRY...WHILE THE 12Z
NAM HAS SOME ACTIVITY OVER THE SRN SECTION LATE WED NIGHT AND THU
MORNING. WEISHAAR

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY...GFS...ECMWF AND GEM HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN SHOWING
THE STRENGTH OF THE COLD AIR MOVING INTO THE COLUMBIA BASIN MID WEEK.
USUALLY THE ECMWF OVERDOES THE COLD AIR. WITHOUT GOOD TERRAIN
DEFINITION THE COLD AIR FLOODS WEST OF THE ROCKIES TOO EASILY.
HOWEVER...IN THIS CASE THE UPPER LOW IS MOVING DOWN ACROSS OREGON
THURSDAY AND THIS SHOULD DRIVE THE COLD AIR EAST OF THE ROCKIES.
MODELS INDICATE THE STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL RELAX ON THURSDAY AS
THE UPPER LOW AND COLDEST AIR MOVES OVER THE AREA. THIS AIR MASS WILL
BE AT LEAST AS COLD AS THE DECEMBER 2013 EVENT...WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN WILLAMETTE VALLEY WHICH SHOULD BE WARMER
THAN DECEMBER DUE TO THE LACK OF SNOW ON THE GROUND. WITH CLEAR SKIES
WIND PROTECTED AREAS COULD DIP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS IN THE VALLEYS
AND BELOW ZERO IN THE MOUNTAINS. SOME WIND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE IN
THE GORGE EVEN THOUGH THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE RELAXING THE GRADIENT
CONSIDERABLY BECAUSE THESE MODELS DON'T HANDLE THE COLD AIR WELL DUE
TO TERRAIN LIMITATIONS. THIS WILL MEAN WIND CHILLS ZERO TO 10 BELOW
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN THE GORGE.

THE NEXT PROBLEM WILL BE THE WEEKEND PATTERN SHIFT INDICATED BY ALL
THE MODELS FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE ECMWF IS FASTER TO BRING
PRECIPITATION TO THE COAST AND INLAND...EARLY SATURDAY MORNING VS
THE SLOWER GFS. ALL MODELS AGREE THAT THE DEEP COLD AIR MASS EAST OF
THE CASCADES AND OVER THE WEST SIDE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH A
STRONG EAST GRADIENT DEVELOPING AS A WARM FRONT...OVERRUNNING
PATTERN DEVELOPS SATURDAY. CURRENT MODEL FORECASTS AGREE ON A SNOW
FOLLOWED BY ICE STORM EVENT FOR MOST OF THE AREA. ANTICIPATING SOME
VARIATIONS IN THE MODELS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...AND SOME TWISTS
AND TURNS IN THIS FORECAST...I WONT BE SPECIFIC AS TO AMOUNTS OF
SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN...BUT ITS A GOOD THING THIS APPEARS TO BE
MOSTLY A WEEKEND EVENT. HOWEVER...I CAUTION AGAINST WORDING THE
COLD AIR OUT OF THE NORTHERN VALLEYS AND THE GORGE AS EARLY AS THE
GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF COLD AIR IN PLACE AND
DIFFICULT TO ERODE AND THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THE FREEZING
RAIN COULD DRAG ON INTO MONDAY MORNING IN THE GORGE AND UPPER HOOD
RIVER VALLEY.					       SCHNEIDER
&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA
TERMINALS THIS MORNING. THE EXCEPTION IS KEUG WHICH IS LIFR WITH
FOG. THIS WILL LIKELY PERSIST UNTIL AROUND 20Z...WITH CONDITIONS
IMPROVING TO VFR AT THAT TIME. AN EAST WIND WILL DEVELOP THROUGH THE
GORGE AND TURN NORTHERLY DOWN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY...MAINTAINING
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TODAY AND TONIGHT.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH
INCREASING EAST WINDS THROUGH THE GORGE. EAST WINDS ALREADY EVIDENT
THROUGH THE EASTERN APPROACHES...BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT
TO ARRIVAL AT KPDX. EXPECT WINDS GUSTS NEAR 30KT BY TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...OFFSHORE FLOW HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE NORTHERN WATERS IN
RESPONSE TO AN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH A
STRENGTHENING AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING EAST OF THE CASCADES.
EXPECT OFFSHORE WINDS TO INCREASE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS TODAY AND
TONIGHT...PARTICULARLY OVER THE NORTHERN WATERS AND COASTAL
GAPS....AND WILL REMAIN THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY. SEAS WILL REMAIN
AROUND 4 TO 6 FEET THROUGH THE WEEK.
