Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1010 AM PST Thu Jan 6 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Parts of central Washington will experience one of the biggest
snow events in many years tonight into Thursday morning including
the Wenatchee, Leavenworth, and Chelan areas. Motorists with plans
to travel across the Cascade Passes tonight into Thursday should
closely monitor pass conditions before making their trip. Friday
will be quite windy with gusts as high as 40 to 50 mph across the
Columbia Basin, Palouse, and West Plains. Quieter weather will
arrive over the weekend and persist into early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Quick update: Made updates to the winter highlights this morning
to extend several them through the day. Snow continues to fall in
the lee of the Cascades and getting reports of 1-2+ feet of snow.
The snow will lighten up across the Okanogan Valley and Highlands,
although in the Columbia Basin warmer air will filter in and
anticipate a precipitation type change in the afternoon. Extended
the highlights to cover this threat with the potential of any ice
glazing. The Cascade crest will continue to be hammered through
the day and night. The warmer air will creep across the Palouse
through the day and has the best chance to switch to rain. /rfox.

Previous Discussion:

..SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TODAY...

Today through Friday night: The widespread winter system will
continue to impact the Inland Northwest today, but milder air will
start to invade the area tonight into Friday as a stout southerly
flow develops. First, this morning a warm front is draped across
west-central Washington to the lower Panhandle. Moisture
overrunning that boundary coupled with the cold air in place to
bring widespread snow. Heavier snowfall rates have been found
around some of the Cascades, with an earlier report of on inch per
hour near Leavenworth, WA. There have been a few reports of
around six inches or so in that region, but there are likely
higher amounts that we haven’t reports of yet. Waves of heavier
snow will continue to spread across that area this morning.
Another swath of heavier snowfall rates is found from the Okanogan
Highlands and east-southeast across Steven and Pend Oreille
county, into the Spokane/CdA area and some of Palouse and central
Panhandle. At our office we have picked around two inches so far
and the Spokane Airport reports approximately an inch and half so
as of about 2 am.

Most areas will see continued snow through early morning, but by
mid to late morning that activity is projected to wane some in the
lee of the Cascades/upper Columbia Basin and maybe as far east as
the West Plains and lower Palouse – at least briefly. The
Cascades and eastern mountain zones and remainder of southeast
Washington will continue to see precipitation falling much of the
morning and afternoon, however, in the moist west-northwest flow
and in the vicinity of that warm front. Yet some of that will
transition away from snow to a mixture of rain, snow and freezing
rain.

Milder air will be invading as we go into later this morning and
afternoon. As of about 2 AM, the milder air aloft (850 mb
temperatures at 0 C or higher) according to LAPS analysis was
lifting through western WA and impinging on the south-central WA
border. Extrapolation of that LAPS trends and model depiction
brings that warm nose into the deeper Columbia Basin, lower
Palouse and L-C Valley southward between about 15-20Z (7 am to
noon). That will allow for more of a mix in the lee of the Blues
into the L-C Valley and Palouse. Freezing rain is possible here,
as mentioned, but there is a better potential for the surface
temperatures to being to warm as well. Farther west into the
Columbia Basin and Moses Lake area the milder air aloft is more
apt to be coupled with freezing temperatures at the surface. The
precipitation chances will be waning in these areas some later
this morning and early afternoon, so that will limited that
freezing rain potential some.

Late this afternoon into tonight the parent low starts to move in
and the milder air continues to surge north, while that incoming
low revitalizes the precipitation across the region. Snow will
continue over the mountain zones and over north-central to
northeast WA. It will also continue early on over portions of the
northern basin and the Spokane/CdA area, but it is more apt to mix
with rain or freezing rain and eventually change to all rain as
evening progresses into overnight as temperatures rise. Farther
west, however, into the deeper Columbia Basin and Moses Lake and
perhaps the Waterville Plateau, the freezing rain there could be
more impactful. So we will have to monitor that for possible
highlights after this morning’s round of precipitation. Up to a
tenth of an inch of ice might be seen in those areas.

Overall, away from the mountain zones and additional snow amounts
of 3-7 inches are possible during the day today, on top of what
has fallen overnight. Within the mountain zones, another 4-10
inches will be possible, with amounts measured in feet toward the
passes. Again that is on top of what has fallen overnight.

Going into Friday and Friday night the area will remain activity,
but in a milder regime. Look for continued mountain snow and a
chance of rain over the eastern third of WA and lower ID. The
chances will be highest during the day, then quickly retreat to
the mountain zones at night. However the other impact will be
winds. Increasing southwest winds will bring potential 15-30 mph,
with gusts near 30-45 mph. We will have to monitor areas downwind
of the Blues onto the Palouse for possible wind highlights. These
winds will also bring the threat of blowing/drifting snow,
particularly in areas that remain colder toward the wester Basin
and Waterville Plateau. /Cote’

Saturday - Tuesday: Ensemble model suites continue to support high
pressure building over the Northwestern US late this weekend and
continuing into next week keeping the region void of any
significant winter weather systems. Snow showers will continue
across the Cascade Crest and Idaho Panhandle on Saturday but at
much lighter intensities and produce far less impacts compared to
what will come during this current winter storm. Confidence is
above average for dry weather to return to the region Sunday and
Monday as the ridge axis strengthens overhead. Areas of fog and
low clouds are likely to plug many of our lowlands and could
struggle to dissipate throughout the day given poor mixing, an
abundance of lowland snow, and low January sun angle. As such,
temperatures will likely remain cool and struggle to warm above
freezing.

We have seen some changes within the 100 member ensemble model
output in regards to precipitation chances going into the middle
of next week but confidence remains high that any precipitation
will be extremely light. Roughly 85% of members have trend toward
the direction of the European and now flatten the ridge and draw
deeper moisture toward the WA Coast bringing a glancing blow of
mid and high level moisture into the region. Roughly 70 of the 100
members have 24hr QPF between 0-0.01" for locations like
Wenatchee, Omak, Spokane, and Lewiston for each "potential"
precipitation event Tue-Wed so unless there is a major shift in
the models, looks as if the region will get a break from any
significant winter weather systems. If we do get any moisture in
this time, it could fall as a wintry mix due to a complex thermal
structure with subsidence warming aloft and cooler air trapped
under low-level inversions. Stagnant air and increasing pollutants
is something else that will need to be considered. If the stratus
was to develop and persist, it will be tough to meet thresholds
for air stagnation but a few of the models do suggest we could be
close for many locations.

Following some flattening of the ridge around midweek, the
upper-level ridge will stand a good chance of re-amplifying
bringing another period of cool and quiet weather. /sb

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAFS:

...PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW THIS MORNING FOLLOWED BY THE POTENTIAL
FOR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

Precipitation has started to wane near the lee of the Cascades and
into central WA, such as near MWH. Snow will mix with rain and maybe
freezing rain around LWS as milder air noses in. A broader chance
for freezing rain will develop later this afternoon into tonight.
Best chances for this will impact the central and western Basin,
near places like MWH and EPH. Farther east the precipitation will
eventually transition from snow to a rain/snow mix, and all rain
across the lowest elevations. Lastly, winds will be on the increase
aloft going into tonight. A slight increase in surface winds is
possible tonight, but that is more likely to hold off until during
the day Friday. Strong low-level wind shear will be possible in
places like GEG/SFF/COE/PUW, with winds near 2kft around 40-50kts.
