...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY DUE TO
HEAT...INSTABILITY...AND THUNDERSTORMS...

HOT WEATHER HAS DEVELOPED TODAY ACROSS MUCH OF OREGON AND SOUTHERN
WASHINGTON...CAUSING A BROAD THERMAL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION. THIS IS RESULTING IN VERY DRY AND
UNSTABLE MID-LEVEL HAINES 6 CONDITIONS WHICH WILL PERSIST INTO
MONDAY. HUMIDITY RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL LIKELY BE POOR ABOVE THE
THERMAL BELTS. MEANWHILE...A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST WILL DRIFT NORTHWARD...
INCREASING THE THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THERE MAY BE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THIS PERIOD...WITH THUNDERSTORMS TENDING TO BE DRY AND
GUSTY TO START...THEN BECOMING WETTER LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY EXPECTED AND DRY FUELS IN PLACE...THERE
IS HIGH POTENTIAL FOR LIGHTNING STRIKES TO GENERATE SEVERAL NEW
FIRES WHICH MAY OVERWHELM INITIAL ATTACK.

TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING AS A DISTURBANCE NEAR KLAMATH FALLS
LIFTS NORTH NORTHWEST ACROSS WESTERN OREGON AND SOUTHWEST
WASHINGTON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL GENERALLY APPROACH FROM THE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
213 PM PDT SAT AUG 9 2014

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LOW WILL LINGER OFF THE N CA COAST THROUGH
MON...BEFORE FILLING IN AND LIFTING OUT TUE. THIS WILL BRING A
WARMER UNSTABLE AIR MASS UP FROM THE S. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE W TUE AND WED...BRINGING A
CONTINUED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND A COOLER AIR MASS. &&

.SHORT TERM...WATER VAPOR PICTURES SHOWED THE UPPER LOW OFF THE N CA
COAST NEAR 38N 126W...STILL MOVING SE. MODELS ARE FAIRLY CONSISTENT
IN STALLING THIS FEATURE ALONG THE N CA COAST LATER TONIGHT...AND
LEAVING IT THERE THROUGH MON. THIS WILL ALLOW IT TIME PULL SOME MID
AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE NORTHWARD TO HELP IN DESTABILIZATION LATER
IN THE DAY SUN AND MON. BEFORE THAT THOUGH...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
OVER THE REGION COUPLED WITH A NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL FURTHER
WARM THE AIR MASS FOR SUN...WHILE TENDING TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
MARINE CLOUDS ALLOWED TO FORM AND PUSH INLAND TONIGHT. MODELS APPEAR
SETTLED ON H8 TEMPS REACHING AROUND 24 DEG C BOTH SUN AND MON
AFTERNOON OVER THE INTERIOR VALLEYS...SUGGESTING HIGHS WELL INTO THE
90S. MODEL SOUNDINGS HOWEVER SHOW A BIT OF A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
NEAR OR A LITTLE BELOW 850 MB...WHICH COUPLED WITH SOME CLOUDS
MOVING UP BY MON MEANS TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO COME UP A FEW DEGREES
SHORT OF WHAT H8 TEMPS MIGHT SUGGEST. THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREAT
STILL APPEARS TO BE ALONG THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE FORECAST
AREA SUN AFTERNOON AS A VORT MAX IS SEEN IN MODELS ROTATING E ACROSS
SW OREGON. MODEL DEPICTIONS OF INSTABILITY LATE SUN ALSO BEST OVER
THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SUN AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE
EASTERLY COMPONENT TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW SUGGESTS A THREAT FOR
THUNDER EXISTS OUT TO THE COAST.

ON MON THE FLOW ALOFT OPENS UP ACROSS THE N PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA...SHIFTING TO THE SSE. INSTABILITY SPREADS N WITH THE OPENING
UP OF THE SOUTHERLY FLOW...SPREADING THE CHANCE FOR CONVECTION TO
INCLUDE VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BY MON NIGHT. GFS AND NAM
ESPECIALLY SHOW GOOD DIVERGENCE ALOFT MON NIGHT SPREADING W INTO THE
WILLAMETTE VALLEY...SO WILL INCREASE POPS A BIT W OF THE CASCADES
FOR MON NIGHT. THERMAL INDUCED SURFACE TROUGH SHIFTS E OF THE
CASCADES LATE MON TURNING THE FLOW ONSHORE. NORMALLY A SW PUSH WOULD
TEND TO SUGGEST A DEEP MARINE LAYER COMING IN MON NIGHT AND TUE...
BUT MODELS SEEM A BIT RESERVED IN PUSHING THE MARINE CLOUDS INLAND.
GIVEN THE NEXT TROUGH IS APPROACHING THE COAST TUE...IT SEEMS
REASONABLE TO EXPECT THE MARINE PUSH WOULD BE LACKING SOMETHING FOR
TUE. MODELS STILL STRUGGLING A BIT WITH HANDLING THE UPPER FEATURES
TUE...BOTH MODELS SUGGESTING BEST INSTABILITY BEGINS TO SHIFT E BACK
TO THE CASCADES BY TUE AFTERNOON. AT THIS POINT PREFER TO LEAVE THE
POSSIBILITY OF THUNDER IN W OF THE CASCADES AS THE SOUTHERN LOW
FILLS IN SOME AND BEGINS TO LIFT OUT...BUT POTENTIALLY KEEPING THE
MID AND UPPER FLOW BACKED TO THE S.

.LONG TERM...THERE CONTINUES TO BE DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS.
THE GFS SHOWS A DRIER SOLUTION THAN THE EC AND HAS THE POSITION OF
THE CUTOFF LOW DEVELOPING FURTHER NORTH.  THIS HAS INCREASED THE
UNCERTAINTY OF THE FORECAST BEYOND WEDNESDAY.  BOTH MODELS CONTINUE
TO HINT AT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE CASCADES THROUGH
THURSDAY.  ALSO INCREASED THE POPS AND SKY COVER IN THE VALLEY
REGIONS TO SHOW A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY.  UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING LOOKS TO BRIEFLY RETURN TO THE REGION FOR THE LATTER
PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.  TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY BE NEAR
SEASONAL NORMS. AHUE
