AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
428 PM PDT MON JUL 26 2010
UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE AREA REMAINS UNDER THE
WESTERN EDGE OF A RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON
WHILE A TROUGH SLOWLY STRENGTHENS IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC. THIS IS
GIVING US A SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF MID AND UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE. DAYTIME HEATING HAS CREATED AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE
OVER CENTRAL OREGON AND THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND WAVE MOVING OVER
THE RIDGE HAS BEEN FIRING UP SOME THUNDERSTORMS. THIS SHOULD
CONTINUE THIS EVENING FROM CENTRAL OREGON EAST ALONG THE MOUNTAINS
TO WALLOWA COUNTY. STORMS COULD GET STRONG BUT IT LOOKS MARGINAL FOR
SEVERE STORMS. THE MAIN THREATS WOULD BE GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL
AND LOCALIZED AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN DUE TO THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF
THE STORMS. THE STORMS SHOULD SUBSIDE AFTER MIDNIGHT FROM WEST TO
EAST. TOMORROW THE SITUATION WILL BE SIMILAR WITH THE RIDGE OVER US
AND A TROUGH REMAINING OFFSHORE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
EASTERN MOUNTAINS IN THE LATE MORNING AND EXPAND TO CENTRAL
OREGON...THE CASCADES AND THE BLUE MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS IN THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP A FEW DEGREES FROM
TODAY IN PART DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER. HAVE KEPT A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ALL OF TUESDAY NIGHT AS MODELS INDICATE SOME
UPPER LEVEL LIFT MOVING INTO CENTRAL OREGON LATE IN THE EVENING AND
PROGRESSING THROUGH THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS BY SUNRISE. WEDNESDAY
LOOKS TO BE ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA
AS NOT ONLY WILL WE HAVE A HOT UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...BUT WE WILL
HAVE A WAVE MOVING OVER THE RIDGE AS WELL. HAVE PLACED A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN MOUNTAIN AND A SLIGHT CHANCE
ELSEWHERE. SOME STORMS COULD APPROACH SEVERE LEVELS WITH GUSTY WINDS
AND HAIL BEING THE GREATEST THREATS. THE STORMS SHOULD BE MOVING
FAST ENOUGH SO THAT HEAVY RAIN SHOULD BE LESS OF A PROBLEM.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE STORMS WILL TAPER OFF BUT SHOULD CONTINUE OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE NIGHT. ON
THURSDAY THE SITUATION WILL BE LITTLE CHANGED. THE TROUGH OFFSHORE
WILL WEAKEN SOMEWHAT AND MIGRATE NORTH A LITTLE WAYS BUT WILL
CONTINUE TO BE UNDER A SOUTHWEST FLOW. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
CONFINED TO THE CASCADES...CENTRAL OREGON AND THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE IN THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S. PERRY
.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...A MID/UPPER
LEVEL LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL BE PARKED JUST OFFSHORE OF THE COAST
THROUGH FRIDAY. THE TROUGH WILL THEN MOVE SLOWLY INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS EAST
OF THE TROUGH AXIS WILL TRANSPORT MID LEVEL MOISTURE INTO THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. THE MOISTURE WILL COMBINE WITH
DAYTIME SURFACE HEATING ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOR A CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH DAYS IN CENTRAL
AND NE OREGON AND THE BLUE MOUNTAINS IN SE WASHINGTON. POLAN
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...MODELS IN THE EXTENDED ARE IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH THE GENERAL PATTERN. HOWEVER...THERE HAVE BEEN
DISCREPANCIES AS TO THE MOISTURE CONTENT ACROSS CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST OREGON. 12Z GFS MODELS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS SET UP AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OFF THE COAST. WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE
TROUGH DRAWING UP MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND BRING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AND MONDAY. HOWEVER...ECMWF...DGEX...AND
CANADIAN HAVE THE SAME PATTERN BUT KEEP CONDITIONS DRY OVER THIS
AREA. SEEING THAT THE GFS CONTINUES TO BE THE OUTLIER AGAIN
TODAY....WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THUNDERSTORMS OUT OF THE EXTENDED.
OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS AND SUMMER LIKE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED. WEBER
&&
.AVIATION...00Z TAFS...KPDT RADAR AND LIGHTNING DATA INDICATE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL OREGON THIS
AFTERNOON. AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IS INTERACTING WITH INCREASING MID
LEVEL MOISTURE THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH IS TRIGGERING SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST OREGON THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF A LINE FROM MOUNT JEFFERSON TO
SPRAY TO TOLLGATE TO FLORA. A FEW NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE TONIGHT OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL
OREGON. MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL AGAIN COMBINE WITH DAYTIME SURFACE
HEATING TO CREATE AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS OVER CENTRAL AND NE OREGON ON
TUESDAY AFTERNOON THUS SETTING THE STAGE FOR A REPEAT OF
ISOLATED/SCATTERED AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING MAINLY
OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. WIND GUSTS TO 35MPH WILL OCCUR IN THE VICINITY
OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
SUSTAINED WINDS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 15 KTS...EXCEPT AT KDLS WHERE
GUSTY WINDS TO 25 KTS WILL BE LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING. POLAN
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR
OREGON FIRE ZONES 611, 630, 632, AND 638 THROUGH WEDNESDAY FOR NOW
AS THE UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE INLAND ALONG WITH
FREQUENT SHORTWAVES PASSING THROUGH THE FLOW TO TRIGGER ADDITIONAL
SIGNIFICANT LIGHTNING ACTIVITY EACH DAY. THURSDAY MAY SEE SOME
STRONGER AND EVEN WETTER STORMS HOWEVER SPECIFIC DETAILS HAVE BEEN
SKETCHY AS OF LATE FOR THAT TIME FRAME. WILL WAIT FOR ANOTHER DAY
BEFORE DECIDING ON EXTENDING FURTHER.
HAVE ALSO TALKED WITH ADDITIONAL USERS ACROSS NORTHEAST OREGON AND
THEY FEEL ZONE 633 IS CLOSE TO SUPPORTING SIGNIFICANT IGNITION
PROBLEMS THUS WILL BRING FIRE WEATHER ZONES OR/WA INTO THE PACKAGE
AS WELL BEGINNING TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND ALSO CONTINUING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AT THIS TIME. ZONES 634 AND 635 GENERALLY REMAIN UNREADY
TO POSE SIGNIFICANT FIRE CONCERNS FROM LIGHTNING PER THE USERS SO
WILL KEEP THOSE ZONES OUT OF THE WARNING PACKAGE UNTIL USERS ADVISE
OTHERWISE. LOW ELEVATION GRASSES AND RANGE LANDS STILL MAY SEE SOME
LIGHTNING STARTS, HOWEVER.
ZONE 610 SHOULD BETTER COME INTO PLAY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS BUT
THINK THE BEST CHANCE FOR 610 TO SEE SIGNIFICANT LIGHTNING WILL BE
TUESDAY. WILL NEED TO SEE HOW STORMS PLAY OUT BEFORE DECIDING ON ANY
TIME EXTENSIONS. /JBONK
