...WINDY WITH LOW HUMIDITY ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE LOWER
COLUMBIA BASIN...

.THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN DEVELOPING ACROSS CENTRAL OREGON...AND
WILL TRACK NORTHWARD...AND THEN EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. THE EASTERN
MOUNTAINS ARE FAVORED FOR THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...WHERE
INSTABILITY IS GREATEST...AND HAINES IS A HIGH 5. THERE IS ALSO A
SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE BLUE MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS AND EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN...BUT THERE IS CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY DUE TO DIFFERING MODEL GUIDANCE AND A PROFOUND LACK OF
MOISTURE IN THESE AREAS. ANY STORMS COULD PRODUCE ABUNDANT
LIGHTNING AND GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS...WITH MINIMAL RAIN. ALTHOUGH
BRIEF DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE UNDER STORM CORES...IN
GENERAL...LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH OF RAIN IS EXPECTED.
ADDITIONALLY...SURFACE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL BE VERY LOW THIS
EVENING...AND WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN. ANY NEW LIGHTNING FIRES
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SPREAD RAPIDLY DUE TO VERY DRY FUELS AND
GUSTY WINDS.

A SECOND WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
BRING MORE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS...AND POSSIBLY
THE WASHINGTON COLUMBIA BASIN...SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.

Area Forecast Discussion...Update
National Weather Service Pendleton OR
422 AM PDT FRI AUG 5 2016

Updated Aviation Discussion

.SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday...An upper low pressure system
off the BC coast will move southeast into western Washington today
and then will move slowly east across the Pacific Northwest during
the next few days...continuing into the extended period. The
southwest flow ahead of this low will allow moisture and instability
to increase from the south...especially over the central and eastern
mountains. As a result there will be isolated to scattered
thunderstorms over the central and eastern Oregon and southeast
Washington mountains each day during the short term starting today.
With hot conditions at the surface with fairly low humidities the
thunderstorms could have little precipitation and may cause new fire
starts. Gusty winds with low humidity will cause any new fires and
existing fires to spread rapidly. As such a Fire Weather Watch is in
effect today through Saturday evening for a good portion of the
area. See the fire weather discussion for more details. In the
western and northern areas of the CWA conditions will remain dry
with another hot day today. After that temperatures will be on a
cooling trend beginning Saturday as heights, thicknesses and 850 mb
temperatures drop as a result of more clouds and showers and
thunderstorms as well, as a cooler air mass moves into the region
with the upper low. Showers and thunderstorms will be most
widespread today and then will slowly decrease each day from
southwest to northeast as the upper low slowly advances eastward.
Temperatures today will be in the mid 90s in the lower elevations
with 80s in the mountains...cooling to the lower to mid 80s lower
elevations by Sunday...with 60s to mid 70s mountains on Sunday.
Unsettled conditions will persist into the extended period as the
upper low continues to slowly move across the region. 88

.LONG TERM...Sunday night through Friday...The extended period will
begin with an anomalous, slow moving upper level low pressure system
affecting the area through at least Tuesday evening. On Sunday night
this upper level low is forecast to be centered near Seattle...then
directly over our CWA on Monday and near Spokane by Tuesday. With
this upper low moving through expect increased cloud cover...chances
for showers and afternoon thunderstorms each day (Monday & Tuesday)
and cooler temperatures. The current forecast track of the low would
place the higher chances for showers/thunderstorms over Washington
and northern Oregon...Central Oregon would be on the southern
periphery of the low's impacts. It will also likely be breezy to
windy for parts of the forecast area Sunday evening and again on
Monday. High temperatures will be below average both Monday and
Tuesday...with mid 70s to lower 80s in the valleys/basins and mid
60s to lower 70s mountains. By Wednesday and Thursday the upper low
will begin to slowly exit the area to the east with temperatures on
a gradual warming trend. However, a general troughy pattern looks to
continue over our area during this time. There is also some model
disagreement on just how fast this upper low moves out of the
area...the latest 00z ECMWF has the low lingering over our CWA
through Thursday. For now leaned the forecast toward consistency and
the latest 00z GFS which kicks the upper low east, away from our
area faster. The latest guidance is then in fairly good agreement
that a transient upper level ridge will move overhead next
Friday...bringing dry, sunny and warmer conditions. 77

&&

.AVIATION...12z TAFS...VFR conditions will persist for the next 24
hours across all TAF sites. Mid and high level clouds will be on the
increase through the day today as the overall flow pattern turns
more southerly. Look for cumulus development this afternoon as the
atmosphere moistens and becomes unstable. Cloud bases should mainly
be between 6-12K FT AGL. Most terminals are forecast to remain dry
through the period...however after about 05/21z KBDN may see showers
or even a thunderstorm develop nearby. Later in the evening...after
about 06/06z showers may even move INVOF KPDT and KALW...however
there was not enough confidence in this scenario to add into the
tafs at this time. Winds will continue generally under 12 kts this
morning before increasing some this afternoon. Most terminals will
see winds between 8 to 18 kts this afternoon and evening...however
KDLS will see westerly winds gusting up to 25 kts during this time
period. 77

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A southwest flow aloft will bring a wave into the
region today. This will interact with subtropical moisture to cause
isolated to scattered dry thunderstorms from Central Oregon
northeastward through the Blue Mountains, including Grant, Union and
Wallowa counties in Oregon, as well as Asotin County in Washington.
Thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon, with activity
persisting through early Saturday morning. A second wave associated
with a deep low pressure system will bring more thunderstorms to the
eastern mountains Saturday night and Sunday. Any new lightning fires
have the potential to spread rapidly due to very dry fuels and gusty
winds. Rainfall amounts will generally be less than a tenth of an
inch, although brief downpours are possible under thunderstorm
cores. Fire Weather Watches for dry thunderstorms are in effect for
the above mentioned areas. Additionally, surface relative humidity
will be very low today and Saturday, and winds will become breezy,
especially across the Lower Columbia Basin. This area will therefore
need to be monitored as well for critical fire weather conditions.
