Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Portland OR
314 PM PST Mon Mar  6 2017

.SYNOPSIS...A wet and unsettled weather pattern will continue for
much of the upcoming work week with periods of valley rain and
mountain snow. Tuesday will likely be particularly windy along the
Oregon coast and coast range. There may be some minor flood issues
late Thursday into Friday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Thursday...Southerly flow at the surface
and an unstable atmosphere have led to plenty of rain and snow
showers today. Temperatures have generally climbed into the low to
mid 40s at the lowest elevations, but will continue to temporarily
drop with any passing shower. Snow may occasionally mix down to
near the valley floor this evening. However, snow accumulations below
500-1000 ft should be increasingly hard to come by.

Water vapor satellite imagery this afternoon reveals a distinct
shortwave trough and 500mb cold pocket aloft shifting eastward across
Oregon. 500mb heights are just beginning to build across the Pacific
Northwest behind this feature, which should allow snow levels to
creep upwards overnight. Increasingly shallower convection should
also produce lower snowfall rates across the higher terrain as we
move into this evening. Nonetheless, we should still see amounts
flirt with Winter Wx Advisory criteria across the north Oregon Coast
Range and Willapa Hills overnight. At similar elevations, amounts may
have a tendency to be a bit higher across the Cascade Foothills and
embedded river valleys where colder air will hang on longer so will
keep the Winter Storm Warnings going into the overnight hours. Most
weather stations across the Cascades fell just short of our 12" in 12
hour warning criteria except for a wx station or two around Mt Hood.
However, several sites in the higher Cascades are approaching our
Winter Storm Warning criteria of 18" in 24 hours so despite weakening
snow showers, many sites will likely exceed this threshold over the
next few hours.

The next shortwave trough slated to impact the Pacific Northwest is
currently out near 40N and 145N. Precipitable water values between
1-1.25" are currently streaming northeastward ahead of this system.
As this moisture and a baroclinic zone interact with the right
entrance region to a 120 kt jet, a surface low pressure will spin up.
Models have trended slightly stronger with the low pressure and have
come into decent agreement that it will make landfall somewhere
between Tillamook and the mouth of the Columbia River. Even though
this storm system's central pressure seems somewhat lackluster, near
1008mb, the pressure gradient and orientation and modeled 925-850mb
winds seem supportive of a low end high wind event along the Oregon
Coast and Oregon Coast Range. High winds will be almost entirely
confined to areas south of the low pressure track so areas between
Tillamook and Astoria could either be quite windy or barely breezy
depending on where exactly the low pressure makes landfall.

Isentropic lift ahead of this low pressure should gradually turn
precipitation towards more stratiform rain late tonight and Tuesday
across the area. Given the more northward track of the low pressure,
snow levels may be a bit faster to climb than currently forecast, but
cold air is often more stubborn to scour out over the Cascades,
particularly Mt Hood and points northward in these kind of
overrunning situations. As a result, while snow totals Tuesday and
Tuesday night may end up just short of Winter Storm Warning criteria
across the Cascades, suspect it will be close enough that will keep
the warning going given impacts to travel will linger across the
Cascades for much of Tuesday and Tuesday night.

Models suggest the trailing 850mb baroclinic zone and low level cold
front will stall out across the southern half of our CWA Tuesday
night, which will likely keep valley rain and high elevation snow
continuing especially towards Lane, Lincoln, Benton and Linn
Counties. Modest zonal flow will then hold this baroclinic zone more
or less over the CWA Wednesday and Wednesday night. Additional weak
shortwave troughs that are likely not well resolved by the models at
this point will likely cause this band to waver north or south from
time to time, but overall it looks fairly wet across the CWA during
this time.

A more distinct shortwave trough currently out near 30N and 165W
(i.e. well south of the Aleutians) will tap into deeper tropical
moisture as it moves towards the region Wednesday and Thursday.
Models suggest a weak surface low pressure will develop and move
northeastward across the northeast Pacific. This will likely
reinvigorate the stalled front over the area and produce a period of
steadier valley rain and mountain snow Thursday and Thursday night.
Given this will be coming on the heels of several days of wet
weather and a record wet February, and the NAEFS suggests IVT values
peak out around 500 kg/ms across the area, could see some minor
flooding issues crop up later Thursday or Friday. This is despite
the fact that this storm system isn't really all that impressive
with NAEFS return intervals suggesting similar IVT values occur
about once a year or once every other year in March. /Neuman

.LONG TERM...Thursday night through Monday...The models say a cold
front from a rather strong low will sweep through southwest
Washington and northwest oregon Thursday night with pretty good
rains, mountains snows, and coastal wind. The models vary some after
that, but indicate as a whole that another front will move through
around Saturday with another about Monday. The models are backing
away from being very cold next weekend, with conditions still below
normal but much closer to seasonal normals than we have seen
recently. Tolleson

&&

.AVIATION...A showery pattern continues this afternoon. There was
quite a lot of MVFR across the region over the past few hrs, but
conditions now trending toward mostly VFR as showers become
increasingly confined to the higher terrain. Expect lowlands
showers to taper off further this evening, with conditions
becoming widespread VFR. A warm front approaching overnight will
bring increasing steady rain and MVFR/IFR conditions on Tue
morning. Expect mainly VFR through around 12Z Tue, but conditions
should deteriorate considerably between 12Z and 18Z and remain
lower through the rest of the day. A surface low is expected to
move onshore along the north Oregon coast during the afternoon
hours. This will bring gusty southwesterly winds to KONP, with
gusts as high as 40 to 50 kt possible in the afternoon. KAST is
currently expected to be just north of the main wind impacts, but
a shift north in the low track would bring strong winds to KAST
as well.

KPDX AND APPROACHES...Scattered showers continue through this
afternoon. Expect predominantly VFR conditions during this time,
with occasional MVFR in heavier showers. Showers taper off this
evening, and expect conditions to remain VFR through most of the
night. A warm front will spread increasing rain and MVFR/IFR
conditions in between 12Z-18Z Tue. Pyle

&&

.MARINE...W-SW winds 15 to 20 kt continue through this evening
with weak high pres over the waters. A low pres system is
beginning to form around 42N/145W this afternoon. The low will
strengthen as it approaches overnight, and is currently expected
to move onshore along the north Oregon coast as around a 1008 mb
low. There has been some considerably uncertainty on the exact
track of the low over the past couple of days, but the latest
couple of model cycles seem to be zeroing in on a landfall
somewhere between Tillamook and the mouth of the Columbia. The
exact track has a very significant impact on this forecast, as
strong southerly winds will occur on the south side of the low,
with very little wind to the north. The focus of the strongest
winds continues to look like it will be over the central OR
waters, but the current expected low track would also clip
southern portions of PZZ250/270 with the stronger winds as well.
Have issued a gale warning for all of the coastal waters, but the
main impacts should be along the Oregon coast waters, with
wind less than 20 kt likely over the Washington waters. Although
the strength of the low is not all that impressive, the model
wind fields suggest that this storm will pack high-end gales. The
last couple of runs of the GFS have shown boundary layer winds of
55 to 60 kt. This is quite a bit higher than the other models are
showing, so will not buy into this solution. However, would not
be surprised if isolated storm force winds are observed.

Seas will remain in the 7 to 9 ft range through tonight. The
strong southerly winds tomorrow will push seas back into the low
to mid teens for much of the Oregon coastal waters, with seas
potentially not reaching 10 ft over the Washington waters. The
seas will be primarily wind wave driven with short periods, so
they will drop off rather quickly once the winds die down Tue
night.

Winds and seas decrease considerably Tue night. A frontal
boundary will remain stalled over the waters through the rest of
the week. Expect a fairly quiet period from Tue night through
early Thu. Then another low will form along the boundary and
approach the waters late Thu or Fri. There is considerable
uncertainty on the timing and track of this system, but it has
the potential to bring another round of significant winds and
seas. Pyle
