What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pendleton, OR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 22, 9:54 AM PST, 5 hours 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 22, 9:54 AM PST, 5 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pendleton OR 954 AM PST Mon Jan 22 2018 .SHORT TERM...A generally westerly flow aloft remains over the area this morning. A couple of weak ripples in the flow will keep scattered light snow showers in the mountains today and a slight chance of rain showers in the Blue Mountain Foothills. The rest of the Columbia Basin and Central Oregon should remain dry. Have adjusted rain and snow chances this morning downward due to the lack of returns right now on radar. Also reduced cloud cover somewhat today and lowered temperatures a degree or so as they looked a little too warm compared to guidance. Otherwise forecast is in good shape. Main forecast challenge today will be the system arriving tomorrow into Wednesday. Snow levels will remain low into Tuesday night before rising due to warm air advection. The snow levels will be critical to how much snow will fall along the Cascade crest region Tuesday through Wednesday. May need to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for the Washington Cascades with the afternoon forecast package. The Oregon Cascades look like they will remain below advisory amounts. Forecast update already out. Perry && .AVIATION...18Z TAFs...VFR conditions should prevail the next 24 hours. However, KDLS may see IFR/MVFR conditions by 23/12Z due to fog and low clouds. A system will begin to spread precipitation across the area by sunrise Tuesday. Winds will generally be less than 12 kts. Earle && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 938 AM PST Mon Jan 22 2018/ SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday...The upper level flow will continue to be onshore westerly today. A weak disturbance within this flow will move across the region today. The combination of the onshore flow and the disturbance will cause isolated to scattered showers over the area at times. Best chances will be the along the Cascade east slopes where numerous showers will be possible this morning. Snow levels this morning range from near 1000 feet to near 3000 feet. Snow levels will rise to between 2500 and 3600 feet this afternoon. Overall, snow accumulations should be light and spotty due to the showery nature of the precip. A weak upper level ridge will build over the region tonight. Thus will see chances of showers decrease, becoming very limited by midnight. The next Pacific system will then push precip into the region Tuesday morning, with much of the area having decent chances through the day. Snow levels will be low again Tuesday morning, but will gradually rise during the afternoon and evening. The Washington Cascade east slopes and the Kittitas valley will see the slowest rise in snow levels, thus these areas will most likely see snow through the day Tuesday. Could see up to 2 inches in the Kittitas valley and 2 to 6 inches in the Washington Cascade east slopes. Winds will become breezy to locally windy over portions of central Oregon, the Grande Ronde valley and the Blue mountain foothills on Tuesday. A moist southwest flow will keep precip chances high late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Snow levels will continue to rise overnight Tuesday and Wednesday morning, then fall slightly Wednesday afternoon. 90 LONG TERM...Wednesday night through Sunday...A fast moving disturbance pushes a cold front across the region Wednesday night with snow levels lowering to 2000-3000 feet overnight and continuing lower during the day on Thursday thus decreasing to 1000-2000 feet. Another disturbance moves into the region Thursday night and Friday and Friday morning for another round of a mix of rain/snow in the Columbia Basin and additional snow in the mountains. A warm front brings valley rain and mountain snow to the region over the weekend. Polan && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
