26What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Portland, OR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Nov 11, 3:25 PM PST, 5 hours 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 11, 3:25 PM PST, 5 hours 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Portland OR
325 PM PST Thu Nov 11 2021
.SYNOPSIS...An atmospheric river will result in periods of
moderate to heavy rain through Friday, especially for locations to
the north of Salem. High pressure will bring a break from the rain
this weekend, except for southwest Washington zones which will most
likely see precipitation return by Sunday. Then, a cold front will
bring widespread precipitation to the region on Monday and set the
stage for a cool and showery weather pattern heading into Tuesday
and Wednesday.
&&
.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Sunday...Water vapor satellite imagery
reveals a broad shortwave trough over the northeast Pacific with an
elongated front and attendant atmospheric river taking aim at far
northwest Oregon and western Washington this afternoon. Doppler radar
and surface observations show most of the rain has shifted across the
northern half of the CWA. Models are in good agreement rain will be
focused primarily across western Washington for much of the night
including the Willapa Hills before shifting southeastward across the
rest of the area late tonight into Friday.
HREF guidance suggests hourly rainfall rates will peak in the
0.25-0.50" across the higher terrain of the north Oregon Coast Range,
south Washington Cascades and Willapa Hills overnight. HREF guidance
also suggests that there is over a 90% chance of 1" of rain in 6
hours across the higher portions of the north Oregon Cascades and
Willapa Hills this evening and later tonight with the odds of 2" of
rain falling in 6 hours at ~30-40%. This should result in rising
rivers overnight and potentially some flooding of low lying areas
across Pacific and Clatsop Counties. Will monitor rainfall trends
before issuing any products. Models are in good agreement rainfall
rates will gradually decrease as the front drops southeastward
across the area on Friday. This should result in the threat of
flooding diminishing as rainfall amounts decrease with time. /Neuman
The cold front will continue to drop south Friday evening, allowing
rain to diminish from northwest to southeast, although hanging into
the central OR Cascades into Saturday morning time frame. Some
partial clearing skies Friday night will allow for the moisture rich
lower boundary layer to easily allow the formation of fog. Have
added areas of fog into the forecast, especially in the lower
valleys.
Upper ridging will stretch along the US west coast Saturday while a
surface high moves inland. This will promote dry weather for the
day. Lower stratus in the morning will give way to increasing high
level clouds from the next incoming atmospheric river system off the
Pacific. Temperatures over most of the forecast area should be
slightly cooler following Friday night's cold front passage, however
areas south of Salem may remain unchanged from Friday's highs due to
warm advection from the south under the ridging.
As for the next AR system, this one has been trending slower and
further north into Washington, so have decreased PoPs for Saturday
afternoon across the whole area, then slowly reintroduced them into
the northern third of our forecast area, mainly north of Salem,
Saturday night and into Sunday. This AR looks to be another weak to
moderate event, but again further north and a quicker mover. Snow
levels will once again rise to above 9000 feet. At this time, a
quarter to three-quarters of an inch of rain is forecast Saturday
night into Sunday afternoon, again, mainly north of Salem with the
highest amounts in the Willapa Hills and the southern WA Cascades.
/Kriederman
&&
.LONG TERM...Sunday night through Thursday...The momentary drier
period of the weekend looks to end by Sunday night/Monday as the
upper level ridge starts to break down and a upper level trough
drops down from western Canada as the typical work week starts.
Models are showing good agreement in the overall pattern as well as
timing. There are still some subtle differences within the models
themselves, but they all show the same general solution. The system
looks to bring precipitation and cool temperatures across the CWA.
While this will bring colder temperatures and lowering snow levels,
the bulk of the moisture will likely be east of the Cascades by the
time the colder -3C to -4C 850mb temperatures arrive. As a result of
the cooler air expect, daytime highs look to be in the mid 40s to
low 50s along the coast and within the Willamette Valley, with highs
in the low 30s to low 40s in the Cascades. In addition snow levels
look to drop from 8000 ft Sunday towards 2500 to 3500 through the
middle of the week.
While we know that people are wondering when/if the valley floor
will see snow, we look for 850 mb temperatures around -7C to -8C
when under onshore flow along with precipitation. On average the
first snowfall for the valley will happen around mid December. /42
&&
.HYDROLOGY...At this time, the Grays River near Rosburg appears
likely to go well above minor flood stage later tonight. However, the
rainfall rates needed for it to reach major flood stage appear
relatively unlikely to occur (less than 30% chance), but are
nonetheless not insignificant. The Wilson River at Tillamook appears
to be the next most likely river to reach minor flood stage tonight.
The Nehalem at Foss is another river to watch. Unless the Willapa
Hills get 1.75-2.50"+ of rain in two 6 hour periods tonight, it
appears the Naselle and Willapa should escape reaching minor flood
stage. Rainfall amounts will also be high across the south
Washington Cascades overnight so will need to monitor the Cowlitz
River in case upstream dam releases are larger than expected.
It appears rainfall rates should diminish enough as the frontal rain
band shifts southeastward across the area on Friday that the threat
of debris flow and flash flooding appears to be diminishing across
the Oregon Cascade burn areas. Will keep the flood watch in effect
for now to make sure everything continues to evolve as expected, but
we may be able to drop our central Coast Range watches and our
Oregon Cascade Flood Watches early. /Neuman
&&
.AVIATION...00Z TAFs: Radar continues to show widespread
stratiform rain this afternoon which is decreasing visibilities
at times in areas of heaviest rain showers. This system remains
convective, especially along the coast, so a slight chance for
thunderstorms persists right along the northern Oregon/south
Washington coastal terminals. Little confidence as to whether
those storms will manifest. Winds are generally S-SW everywhere
aside from the Columbia River Gorge, and are beginning to
intensify this afternoon. Coastal areas will likely gust upwards
of 30 kt, with interior locations closer to 20-25 kt. The
Columbia Gorge into KPDX are experiencing more E-SE winds,
becoming gusty at times.
In general expecting a mix of all levels of CIGs with all IFR,
MVFR and VFR conditions possible. CIGs will be highly reliant on
rain as it moves in (lower decks with heavier rain). In
generally though, trending towards most areas experiencing CIGs
at or below 3000 ft AGL. Some models are suggesting a brief
period of improvement overnight as the warm front moves inland
and a cold front quickly approaches from the eastern Pacific.
However, conditions have yet to improve and with the more
stationary nature of this system, it appears that they will not
improve.
For detailed regional Pac NW aviation weather information, go
online to: https://weather.gov/zse
KPDX AND APPROACHES...Low MVFR to IFR with minimal improvement
expected. May see higher CIGs overnight as the warm front exits,
but quickly the cold front will approach which will cause those
CIGs to drop once again and precipitation to fall once more. Will
likely see some pooling of water on runways and decreased
visibility due to increased rain rates at times. Winds will
generally remain E-SE through the forecast. -Muessle
&&
.MARINE...Minimal change in the forecast as it looks to be on
track. The warm front continues to push inland today, and will
shift slightly to the north tonight. This shift will cause winds
to begin to ease from 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt to 15 to
20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt around Friday morning. Seas will
remain around 7 to 9 ft at 9 seconds, increasing to 12 ft by
Friday afternoon. Saturday likely will be fairly settled with
lower winds and seas around 7 to 9 ft. On Sunday though, another
active weather pattern is expected which will cause winds to
increase once again to 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 ft.
