Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pendleton OR 333 AM PST Fri Feb 25 2022 Updated Aviation Discussion .SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday night...The upper-level shortwave that brought light snow to the region yesterday is exiting to the east with a transient upper-level ridge beginning to build across the Pacific Northwest in its place. Dry weather is expected today under the ridge, and very cold morning lows will once again be widespread, aided by mostly clear skies and calm winds, especially in areas that still have snow on the ground to further enhance radiational cooling. The arrival of the next disturbance has trended later in recent guidance with dry conditions now expected through Saturday. In advance of this system, surface pressure gradients are forecast to strengthen this evening through Saturday across eastern Oregon which will support breezy conditions across the foothills of the Blue Mountains and through the Grande Ronde Valley. By Saturday night, cross section analysis of mesoscale guidance shows a good signal for downslope winds along the Foothills of the Blue Mountains, and though some uncertainty exists in the strength of these winds, gusts of 30-45 mph are present in high-resolution guidance. Moreover, 8- 10+ mb ONO-MEH pressure gradients Saturday afternoon through Sunday night will drive advisory-level winds through the Grande Ronde Valley. These winds look to peak Saturday night into Sunday morning with sustained winds of 25-40 mph, gusting 35-50 mph, strongest through Ladd and Pyles Canyons and the southern Grande Ronde Valley. EFI values of 0.6-0.7 are still advertised for the Grande Ronde Valley for the aforementioned period, and EPS ensemble members are in good agreement with 35-45 mph gusts forecast for KLGD. Current water vapor imagery shows an atmospheric river off the coast. This will bring the next round of precipitation to the region with multiple shortwaves forecast to impact the Pacific Northwest through the period. Ensembles and deterministic guidance both show the first wave for late Saturday night into Sunday morning, with a second wave for Sunday night. However, ensemble cluster analysis reveals substantially more uncertainty with the track of the Sunday night system. Depending on whether it tracks more northerly into northwest Washington or more southerly into Oregon will determine how much of an impact our CWA will see. Plunkett/86 .LONG TERM...Monday through Friday...Confidence is high that a warming trend with rain and mountain snow will be the predominant weather through Wednesday night followed by cooler and more unsettled conditions the end of the week. The main focus for next week will be on the amount of precipitation and how the rivers and creeks will respond. It will also be very windy in the Grande Ronde Valley and portions of the Blue Mtn Foothills, and the forecast will include gusty winds in the Joseph area on Monday. Overall, deterministic and ensembles are in good agreement with the moist southwest flow through Wednesday. The main differences are the amplitude of the ridge to the east along the Rockies. Although models show the passage of the upper level trough and cold front the end of the week, there are some variations in the timing and amplitude. The moist southwest flow aloft will have a well defined atmospheric river (AR) associated with it early in the week. The strongest magnitude of the AR will be off the coast, but the values inland are impressive. Both the GEFS and ECMWF ENS probabilities are 90 percent for IVT > 150 kg/m/s and 60-70 percent for IVT > 250 kg/m/s. At this time, no flooding is anticipated but the river levels bear watching, especially on Monday night and Tuesday with the passage of a strong warm front. Snow levels will rise to around 6000-7000 feet. Current QPF forecast has 1-2 inches along the east side of the WA/OR Cascades and 0.5-0.75 inch over the northern Blues. There will be sharp water level rises during this time, and hydro concerns will be elevated if this warm front packs in more precipitation than currently advertised by the models. As a strong upper level trough moves onshore on Wednesday, the warm front will lift northward with decreasing chance of precipitation over the southern half of Oregon. There remains a decent chance of high QPF and heavy snow above 6000 feet over the northern Oregon and Washington Cascades and the northeast mountains. The ECMWF EFI has highlighted this area for high QPF for Wednesday--but nothing extreme--with an index of around 0.5-0.6. There is some uncertainty on the amount of QPF but the current forecast will show around 0.5 inch QPF over the northern Blues and the east side of the Cascades. The offshore trough will move inland on Thursday and will be accompanied by a strong cold front. It will be windy in the lower elevations, and it will be considerably cooler with lowering snow levels to around 3000-4000 feet. The trough will be slow to move eastward but should be out of the forecast area by mid-day on Friday with decreasing showers. This does not look to be a heavy snow producer but will have impacts on winter travel over the mountains and adjacent valleys. Wister/85 && .AVIATION... 12Z TAFS...Skies will be mostly clear with light winds for the next 24 hours. Fog satellite shows some stratus clouds near KRDM and KBDN, but clouds have thinned out over the past several hours. An easterly gradient may provide enough low level upslope for stratus cloud early Saturday morning at KDLS and will forecast a SCT level in the TAF. Winds will be 10 kts or less at all sites through Saturday morning. Wister && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
