Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Portland OR
1016 AM PDT Wed Mar 17 2021

Updated aviation discussion.

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will bring dry weather through tonight.
The next system will arrive early Thursday bringing valley rain
and mountain snow, with continued wet weather through the weekend,
but right now its looking drier after Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Friday...Another dry day after a cool
start with valley temperatures in the low 30s so will likely have
frost in many areas early this morning. Rural roads most likely to
have some frost for a few hours early this morning as well. Will
have a little more clouds than Tue with some passing mid and high
level clouds. Expect it to be slightly warmer today with increasing
southerly flow in advance of a front now near 135W and the
associated low centers near southeast AK and 42N 142W. These low
centers are parts of a north-south oriented trough slowly stretching
over the northeast Pacific. This will make for a slow eastward
progress. Eventually the southern portion becomes dominant and
swings an occluded front across the area on Thu spreading rain
across the CWA. The surface low approaches the coast Fri morning
where windy conditions are possible on the coast per 00Z GFS.  ECMWF
and its ensembles place the low slightly further offshore.  Have
added a slight chance for thunderstorms for the coastal waters and
coastal strip Thu night into Fri as cooler air aloft arrives. Model
soundings show thin CAPE above -10C for part of that time.

Snow levels will drop to Cascade pass levels Thu afternoon then down
to around 3000 ft by Fri morning and 2500-3000 ft Fri afternoon.
Snow accumulations will not be very impressive as the orographics
aren't favorable.

.LONG TERM...Friday night through Tuesday...The upper trough and
surface low finally moves inland late Fri/early Sat with west to
northwest flow developing to provide more favorable orographics for
the Cascades with snow levels in the 2000-2500 ft range. Will have
better snowfall rates then, but QPF is decreasing Sat so will
probably be sub-advisory criteria. Precipitation tapers off slightly
Saturday night but quickly returns Sunday afternoon as the next
front moves towards the coast. The front associated with this system
looks to be moving at a pretty good pace so the rain should taper by
Monday afternoon but not quite end, especially for the mountains, as
the area will be under cyclonic northwest flow aloft which is a good
pattern to keep showers going. Showers look to end Tue as the upper
flow turns northerly as an upper ridge builds offshore. /mh

&&

.AVIATION...High pressure with VFR cigs will persist over the
area with east easterly through 06Z Thu. Around 06Z Thu a strong
front and associated low pressure system will advance towards
the area from the North Pacific causing winds to become
westerly. Cigs will begin to reduce at this time and likely will
reach MVFR levels between 10-13Z Thu. This is a fairly slow
moving front so the onset of the lowering cigs may be delayed a
few hours and winds will follow along the same trend. Expecting
precipitation to start towards the end of the period after 13Z
Thu. Will likely see more continuous MVFR cigs along the coast around
1000-2000 ft with the frontal onset but may see periods of near
IFR level cigs with heaviest rain. Inland locations will mainly
stay VFR becoming MVFR after 15Z Thu with the incoming rain.

online to: https://weather.gov/zse

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR through much of the next 24 hours as
high pressure remains over the area. Frontal advancement will
bring some stratus or broken skies to the area after 08Z Thu
which may lower to MVFR levels after 15Z Thu. Expecting rain late
in the period. Easterly light winds will become south-southwest
overnight.   -Muessle

.MARINE...Surface high pressure over the waters will lead to light
winds and seas hovering in the 5 to 7 ft range through Wednesday
afternoon.

An occluding front will swing northeastward across the waters
Wednesday night. Strong south-southeasterly winds will likely
develop ahead of the front and possibly result in Gale Force
wind gusts of 35 to 45 kt across the outer waters by Wednesday
night. Seas should respond accordingly and climb into the low to
mid teens late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. There
still remains some uncertainty as to the timing and area of
impact for the Gale Force winds within the outer waters.
Therefore, have issued a Small Craft Advisory for winds and seas
starting tonight followed by a Gale Watch starting early Thursday
morning.

The inner waters should expect Small Craft Advisory level wind
gusts of 25 to 30 kt and seas building towards 10 ft across the
inner waters Wednesday night. The inner waters could see some
isolated gusts up to 35 kt.

After a temporary lull in the winds early Thursday, a second
bout of strong winds will likely spread across the waters late
Thursday as a surface low pressure near 985 mb moves near 130W.
This will likely result in widespread southerly Gale Force wind
gusts of 35 to 50 kt across the outer waters Thursday night. Near
shore waters will likely see a continuation of Small Craft winds
but cannot rule out the possibility of Gale Force winds, but
confidence is currently low. Seas should respond accordingly and
climb to around 20 ft possibly higher Thursday night into Friday
afternoon for the outer waters. Seas for the inner waters will
also build towards 15 to 18 ft through the same time frame. Winds
and seas will subside quickly Friday night with winds falling
below 20 kt gusts and seas settling around 10 to 12 ft.

Surface high pressure will shift over the waters Saturday, which
will result in considerably lighter winds and will allow seas to
lower below 10 ft. Another front appears likely to bring another
bout of Small Craft Advisory level wind gusts of 25 to 30 kt
late in the weekend or early next week. This should also push
seas back into the low teens. /42

Note: NDBC buoy data is not available due to water damage at a
Washington DC building where the data is processed and stored.
The time of data return is not known at this time.
