AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
200 PM PDT SUN JUN 19 2005
.SYNOPSIS...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE N CA COAST
WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT WOBBLES AROUND THROUGH MONDAY. THE
REMNANTS OF THE LOW WILL LIFT ACROSS THE PACIFIC NW LATE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY...PUSHING MARINE AIR INLAND TUE NIGHT. ANOTHER TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE PACIFIC NW TOWARDS THE END OF
THE WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...SATELLITE/MSAS ANALYSES INDICATE AIR MASS DESTABILIZING
BEST OVER S AND E PARTS OF AREA THIS AFTERNOON. KRTX RADAR THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON STILL QUIET...BUT WITH INSTABILITY AND THE UPPER LOW
STILL PUTTING THE REGION IN A SSE DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT...WILL KEEP IN
A MENTION FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE SE
HALF OF THE REGION. UPPER LOW REMAINS OFFSHORE TUE...PERHAPS DRIFTING
A LITTLE WEST OF CURRENT POSITION. MODELS INDICATE MID/UPPER LEVEL
FLOW VEERS MORE TO THE S...WHICH WOULD TEND TO FAVOR MOUNTAINS MORE
SO THAN VALLEYS. AIR MASS ALSO CONTINUES WARM AND STABILIZE...SO WILL
CONTINUE TO INDICATE MORE OF A PREFERENCE FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION OVER
THE CASCADES AND FAR S COAST RANGE. GFS HAS BEEN REASONABLY
CONSISTENT IN DEPICTION OF LOW LIFTING OUT TUE-WED...AND WILL
CONTINUE TO FOLLOW. AS THE LOW LIFTS OUT AND ACROSS THE AREA...EXPECT
POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD BY TUE NIGHT AND WED.
ALTHOUGH FLOW IS ONSHORE TUE...EXPECT THE MAIN MARINE PUSH TO HOLD
OFF MOST INLAND AREAS TILL TUE NIGHT...SO WILL KEEP TEMPS WARM
THROUGH TUE.
.LONG TERM...GENERAL TRENDS REMAIN THE SAME AS IN PREVIOUS FORECAST
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. GFS DELAYS SLIGHTLY THE
NEXT TROUGH EXPECTED TO DROP DOWN OVER THE PACIFIC NW TILL THE
WEEKEND...SO WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY WIDESPREAD CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
UNTIL SAT AND SUN...KEEPING THU AND FRI MOSTLY DRY. ONSHORE FLOW WILL
KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS.
&&
.AVIATION...UPPER LOW OFF NORTH CALIFORNIA COAST CONTINUES TO PUSH
UNSTABLE AIR OVER PARTS OF THE AREA. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP
NEAR CASCADES HEAVIEST SOUTH WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SPREADING
ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS SOUTH OF SALEM. LOCAL MVFR CEILINGS AND
LOCAL IFR VISIBILITIES ARE POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SHOWERS ALONG WITH
SMALL HAIL. AIR MASS WILL STABILIZE AFTER DARK WITH LINGERING
SHOWERS ENDING BY MIDNIGHT.

A particularly strong thunderstorm formed near the Cascades in Lane county and moved north through eastern Lane, Marion, and Clackamas counties during the evening, producing strong winds and frequent lightning. In Gresham a home was reportedly struck by lightning; no one was injured but there was extensive damage to the house. Lightning hit several transformers, and trees and limbs felled by wind downed power lines, resulting in loss of power service to approximately 4,000 customers in Gresham, Troutdale, and Sandy for most of the evening. Eight miles east of Springfield 70 mph winds blew down numerous trees. Over an inch of rain fell in 45 minutes in the Eugene/Springfield area, resulting in local street flooding.
