What 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 Jan 3, 3:23 AM PST, 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 3, 3:23 AM PST, 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Portland OR
323 AM PST Sun Jan 3 2021

.SYNOPSIS...An active weather pattern will continue through at least
the middle of next week. A cold front moves onshore late this evening
with increasing rain and wind. Another system impacts the area Sunday
and Sunday night, followed by additional weather systems through
mid-week. A brief break in the action is expected Wednesday night or
Thursday, but a return to wet conditions is likely Friday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...Today through Tuesday night...Surface analysis at 10Z
Sunday shows the cold front has moved inland pushing through the
Portland Metro area and on a line southwest to Florence. The front
will continue to slide southeast early this morning with
precipitation quickly transitioning to mainly light showers across
the area. The winter weather advisories for the north Oregon
Cascades will be allowed to expire at 12Z this morning, and the
Cascades in Land County continuing until 18Z Sunday. The front will
then stall over southern Oregon briefly before the next frontal
system absorbs this front and lifts northward. An upper trough
extending south from the Gulf of Alaska will swing across the
Pacific today and approach the Pacific Northwest by Monday. Multiple
shortwaves embedded within the trough are expected to influence the
weather pattern today through Monday.

The initial shortwave associated with the next frontal system lifts
northward Sun night which will drag a warm front north across
western Oregon into southwest Washington tonight. Rain will spread
across the region this evening and overnight from the south. Snow
levels around 3000-3500 feet will quickly rise with the push of warm
air aloft to around 5500 feet. This will likely keep snow above the
Oregon Cascade passes. But over the southern Washington Cascades
model guidance suggests snow levels will hover around 4500 feet, so
could see higher amounts of heavy, wet snow there. Will issue a
Winter Storm Watch starting at 03Z Monday, with 12 to 24 inches of
snow possible. Will allow later shifts to see if this trend
continues, or if an advisory will be needed. The next shortwave
appears that it will split and go on a more southeast trajectory,
bringing heavier rain with it to southwest Oregon. A frontal
boundary will likely push inland between these shortwaves Monday
continuing the wet and mild conditions. One more shortwave appears
it will push across northwest OR Mon evening enhancing showers.

Wind will also be a concern with the lifting warm front later Sun
afternoon through Sun night. South winds will once again set up
along the coast, with model 925 mb max wind speeds of 60-70 kt. This
could translate to 60 mph gusts along the beaches and headlands
Sunday night, but more likely will see gusts up to 55 mph as surface
gradients are set up with more of a southeasterly gradient, keeping
the stronger winds offshore.

By Tuesday a transitory upper ridge moves across the region allowing
for mostly dry conditions through at least Tue afternoon. The next
Pacific front approaches Tue evening. Latest deterministic models
suggest upper level support weakens as the front moves inland, but
still could see breezy south winds along the coast through Tue
night. /DDH

.LONG TERM...Wednesday through Saturday...The active weather
pattern continues Wednesday through the end of next week. The ECMWF
MSLP ensemble mean valid 00Z Thu indicates weak ridging over the
area, which lines up reasonably well with the total mean 500 mb
cluster analysis. There is moderate confidence that Wed night
through Thu will be rather quiet, but not confidence enough to go
completely dry. Model discrepancies become more pronounced Fri and
Sat. The 12Z model runs show another frontal system moving into the
area Fri. However, the ECMWF shows a wide range of surface low
solutions. All in all, rather wet and mild conditions look to
persist through the extended period. Weishaar/DDH

&&

.AVIATION...As a cold front pushes inland during the early morning
hours, the steadier rain will come to an end which will likely end
the threat of patchy IFR conditions along the coast and far north
interior areas by 12Z. Expect a mix of VFR and MVFR conditions
through 01Z today, with the VFR conditions becoming more predominant
between 16Z and 01Z. After 01Z chances for rain associated with a
warm front will increase, and with it prevailing MVFR conditions are
expected to develop for Sunday night.

For detailed regional Pac NW weather information,
go online to:          http://weather.gov/zse

KPDX AND APPROACHES...VFR, occasionally MVFR conditions expected to
continue today, with the MVFR conditions most likely through 18Z
this morning. Ceilings are expected to lower back to MVFR category
after 04Z tonight as a warm begins to spread rain back into the
region.

&&

.MARINE...An active weather pattern will continue over the northeast
Pacific through the first half of next week, keeping seas elevated
with systems periodically moving through bringing gale force winds.

The cold front that moved through overnight has pushed inland, and a
weak ridge of high pressure will move across the waters today,
keeping winds under 20 kt until the afternoon. A warm front lifting
north through the waters this evening will be followed quickly by an
east moving cold front later Sunday night and early Monday.
Southerly winds will strengthen late today, bringing gales tonight
to the waters. There is a small chance that these winds approach
storm force tonight, with the strongest winds expected beyond 10 nm
offshore, but at this point it still appears to be unlikely. As the
cold front moves across early Monday the winds will die down as they
switch to a westerly direction.

Seas today appear likely to remain around 20 ft as a long period
swell continues to move through. As that westerly swell begins to
drop some tonight, southerly winds waves and fresh swell will
steepen the seas and likely hold the combined seas height in the
range of 18 to 20 ft into Monday morning.

Southerly winds are expected to increase again Monday night into
Tuesday as another frontal system approaches. Winds by Tuesday
afternoon are likely rise to gale force, with the strongest winds
over the outer waters. Expect seas to subside a few feet Monday
afternoon as both the west swell and the fresh southerly swell
subside. The break will be short-lived however, as seas are expected
to build back into the range of 18 to 21 ft Monday night and
Tuesday.
