AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
345 AM PST SUN FEB 16 2014

.SYNOPSIS...SHOWERS CONTINUE EARLY THIS MORNING WITH SNOW LEVELS
BELOW THE CASCADE PASSES.EXPECT DECREASING SHOWERS THROUGH THE
MORNING...BUT. THE NEXT STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED LATER
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...BRINGING MORE WIND AND HEAVY RAIN...AS
WELL AS PLENTY OF CASCADE SNOW. A MUCH COOLER AND SHOWERY PATTERN
WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE THIRD FRONT EXPECTED TUESDAY...WITH SNOW
LEVELS LIKELY DROPPING INTO AT LEAST THE CASCADE FOOTHILLS AND
COASTAL MOUNTAINS. A DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED ON THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

MOIST AND UNSTABLE IN THE LOW LEVELS COMBINED WITH THE BASE OF THE
UPPER TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IS MAINTAINING MODERATE
SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA. SOME OF THESE HAVE A BIT OF KICK WITH
THEM...PRODUCING QUARTER TO EVEN HALF INCH HAIL AS REPORTED NEAR
NEWPORT EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE SHOWERS SHOULD START TO EASE SOME
AFTER DAYBREAK AS THE UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED CYCLONIC FLOW SHOVE
OFF TO THE EAST AND WEAK AND SHORT LIVED RIDGING BUILDS. QUICK ON ITS
HEELS IS A WARM FRONT OFFSHORE. THE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR THE S WA
CASCADES ABOVE 4000 FEET HAS BEEN GOING WELL...WITH SURPRISE LAKES
SNOTEL SHOWING ABOUT 12" OVER THE LAST 24 HRS. SNOW LEVELS HAVE COME
DOWN WITH ONLY A FEW INCHES AT LOWER ELEVATIONS...AND THIS IS ALSO
THE CASE IN THE OREGON CASCADES WHERE ANYWHERE FROM 2-5" HAS FALLEN.
SNOW LEVELS CONFIRMED BY OBS TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2500 AND 3000
FEET. SNOW ACCUMS THIS MORNING WILL BE SHOWERY IN NATURE...AND THUS
WILL NOT ADD ANY ADVISORIES BUT EXPECT SNOW AT THE PASSES.

NOW ANY TIME YOU HAVE RELATIVELY LOW AMPLITUDE UPPER FLOW AND STRONG
UPPER JET WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IN PLACE...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
RIDE ALONG THESE ZONES AND CAN BE CHALLENGING TO KNOW QUITE WHERE
THEY HEAD ONSHORE. WE WON'T BE SEEING STRONG CYCLOGENESIS TAKING
PLACE LIKE WE SAW YESTERDAY WITH A DYNAMIC NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH
AND THUS ANY SURFACE LOWS WILL BE WEAKER...BUT CAN LOCALLY ENHANCE
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE REGION. BUT WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL
DECENT WAVES PASSING BY ALONG AND TO OUR NORTH. THE LEAD WAVE IS
ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH THAT IS MUCH
FARTHER NORTH THAN YESTERDAYS...AND THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE
FIRST ROUND OF PRECIP  WITH THE WARM FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND SEVERAL
TO FOLLOW THIS WILL GRAZE THE NORTHERN TIER.

THEREFORE OUR HIGHEST IMPACT WITH THIS SYSTEM INITIALLY IS THE WINDS.
I LIKE THE EVENING SHIFTS EARLIER THOUGHTS ON THIS. 925/950MB FLOW IN
THE COASTAL JET WERE DEPICTED AT 83/73KT RESPECTIVELY. THE FLOW
YESTERDAY WAS ALSO MARKEDLY STABLE IN THE WARM ADVECTIVE REGIME.
TODAY WE ARE AND WILL REMAIN QUITE A BIT MORE UNSTABLE. STABILITY
WILL WEAKEN SOME AS THE WARM FRONTAL FEATURE PASSES THROUGH LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND SO THE LOW LEVELS WILL SUPPORT SOME BLOCKING AND
COASTAL JET ENHANCEMENT. WE DO SEE SOME EVIDENCE OF THIS. WIND SPEEDS
ARE STILL EASILY SUPPORTIVE OF HIGH WINDS AT THE COAST...BUT THE
FEELING IS THAT THE EXTREME WINDS FOUND ON THE HEADLANDS YESTERDAY
WILL BE TEMPERED SOMEWHAT. THAT SAID THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE
MORE PRONE TO A LONGER PERIOD OF MORE SOUTHWESTERLY HIGH WINDS. HIGH
WIND WATCH IS UPGRADED TO A HIGH WIND WARNING...WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE.
THE CENTRAL COAST RANGE STANDS THE BEST CHANCE OF REMAINING BELOW
HIGH WINDS...THOUGH IT WILL BE CLOSE THERE TOO. AS FOR STRONGER WINDS
IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY...IT IS POSSIBLE...BUT WOULD LIKE TO SEE
LESS OF AN EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE GRADIENTS SUN/SUN NIGHT.
NONETHELESS...THE 00Z UW WRFGFS RUN SHOWS THE POTENTIAL FOR 40-50 KT
GUSTS IN THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY SUN EVENING. THE RAP SHOWS THE
GRADIENT GETTING A BIT LESS SOUTHEASTERLY AND TARGETS THE CENTRAL
VALLEY FROM SALEM NORTH TO THE SOUTH METRO AREA OF PORTLAND. THE GFS
HINTS AT THIS TOO BUT IT IS LATER IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. IT
ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL SURFACE LOWS TRACK.
MODELS ARE SHOWING SIMILAR VALUES TO THOSE SEEN YESTERDAY AND THERE
WERE ONLY A FEW GUSTS THAT REACHED OVER 45 MPH. COULD GO EITHER WAY
AND IT WILL BE CLOSE. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT TAKE A LOOK TO SEE IF
ANY SMALLER SCALE LOWS FORM THAT WILL HELP TO ORIENT THE GRADIENT.
FOR NOW WILL MENTION 40-45 MPH. THE THEME IS WINDIER CONDITIONS LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND LOCAL POWER OUTAGES POSSIBLE AGAIN
TONIGHT FOR INLAND AREAS.

THE NEXT IMPACT WILL THEN BE FROM THE HEAVY RAINFALL. AFTER A PERIOD
OF MODEST RAINFALL WITH THE WARM FRONTAL PORTION OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM
WHEN THE WINDS START TO REALLY PICKUP...ATTENTION WILL THEN TURN TO
ANOTHER ROUND OF IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL RATES. THIS IS NOT YOUR CLASSIC
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER SITUATION WITH SUPER HIGH PW VALUES. BUT WHAT THIS
SYSTEM IS LACKING FROM IN MOISTURE...IT MAY MAKE UP ENOUGH IN A
STRONGER FRONTOGENETICAL CIRCULATION AND ALSO BETTER LAPSE RATES
WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE MODELS IDEA OF HEAVY RAINFALL RATES. THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWA WILL BE FIRMLY ROOTED IN THE LEFT EXIT
REGION OF THE UPPER LEVEL JET.	ALL MODEL GUIDANCE AND NOW LOOKING AT
THE 4KM EMC WRF REFLECTIVITY DEPICTS A VERY INTENSE BAND OF RAINFALL
WILL DRIFT SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING. WE FIRST GET IN ON A WARM FRONTAL FEATURE THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN THE SECONDARY COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY GETS POINTED
NORTH OF THE AREA INITIALLY IN THE EVENING. IT IS ORIENTED PARALLEL
TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW AND THUS THIS BAND WILL BE RATHER SLOW MOVING
INITIALLY IT WILL THEN SAG SOUTH AS THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH
NEAR...WHICH MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THIS STARTING TO
OCCUR SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING OUR FOCUS TO NOT ONLY POTENTIAL
RIVER FLOODING FOR S WA AND N OR COASTAL RIVERS...BUT THESE RATES ARE
CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE OF URBAN AND STREET FLOODING. AS MENTIONED
EARLIER..ALL IT WILL TAKE IS A 1-3 INCH EVENT TO CAUSE AT LEAST A
COUPLE RIVERS TO COME CLOSE TO FLOOD IF NOT GET OVER. AND THERE ARE
SEVERAL WAVES THAT WILL BE RIDING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY THAT WILL KEEP
PRECIPITATION FOCUSED ON THE SAME AREAS WHEREAS THIS WAS NOT THE CASE
ON SATURDAY.  THEREFORE THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT IN WATCHING AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS FOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. WITH THE STRONG OROGRAPHIC FLOW...SOME OF
THIS PRECIPITATION WILL SHIELD THE VALLEY A BIT...BUT WITH THE
FRONTAL ZONE PASSING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND
OF HEAVY/SQUALLY TYPE PRECIPITATION EVEN FOR THE LOWLANDS...WITH
HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE RIGHT DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE.

MEANWHILE THE MOUNTAINS WILL FINALLY GET A SOLID DUMPING OF SNOWFALL.
HAVE UPGRADED THE S WA CASCADES TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR 1-2 FT
OF SNOW. HAVE LEFT THE NORTH OREGON CASCADES IN A WATCH...AS IT IS
NOT CLEAR HOW HEAVY THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE FARTHER SOUTH. THAT
BEING SAID MONDAY MORNING THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF PRETTY HEAVY SNOW
WITH RATES IN EXCESS OF 1" PER HOUR...BUT WILL NEED TO SEE HOW LONG
