Fxus66 kpqr 231015 afdpqr area forecast discussion national weather service portland or 315 am pdt Mon oct 23 2017 Synopsis Strong high pressure will generally prevail throughout the upcoming week, resulting in mostly clear and mild conditions outside of night and morning valley fog. A weak system passing by to the north Wednesday will be the exception, bringing a few showers to our northern zones before skies clear again by Thursday. East winds will be gusty at times through the gorge, particularly Tuesday and again late in the week. Short term Today through Wednesday... Most of the smaller rivers have crested this morning, with all rivers below flood stage and expected to remain that way. The luckiamute near suver is still rising, but is expected to crest below flood stage later this morning. Slow rises are still expected on the lower portions of larger rivers such as the willamette and tualatin, but these will generally remain below bankfull and well below flood stage. Locally dense fog is forming in the valleys this morning as mid and high clouds clear out of the area. Fog appears most dense near the rivers and in the coast range valleys per observations, spotter reports, and area webcams. The fog and low clouds will probably be slow to clear this morning, with weak flow under the building high pressure system. Thermal low pressure is expected to strengthen near brookings today, increasing the northerly flow a bit. This should clear out the northern and central willamette valley around midday, with low clouds likely lingering the longest around eugene as the northerly flow stacks up the low level moisture against the south end of the willamette valley. The air mass is warming up quickly as the upper ridge strengthens, so temps today should be a few degrees above normal with 60s fairly widespread across the forecast area. Offshore flow is expected to increase through the columbia gorge tonight and Tuesday, which should result in less fog across eastern portions of the portland metro area. With 850 mb temps climbing into the upper teens celsius, the foothills should easily reach the 70s and perhaps approach 80 degrees Tuesday afternoon. With 500 mb heights exceeding 590 dm, there will be inversions which will likely keep the valleys a bit cooler. The upper ridge flattens Tuesday night then a weak system drops across the pacific northwest Wednesday and Wednesday night. This will turn the flow onshore for more clouds, with some showers possible later Wednesday and Wednesday night. Used a model blend for the timing of the precipitation, but the trend is toward a bit later arrival of any precipitation as compared to model runs from Saturday. As a result, we may see some morning fog or low clouds again on

Wednesday morning before the weak system arrives. Weagle tolleson Long term Wednesday night through Sunday... After the weak system moves through Wednesday night, the upper ridge rebounds and rebuilds strongly off the coast Thursday and spreads onshore Friday and Saturday for more dry weather and some more offshore flow. The models try to break down the upper ridge early next week but anything that tries move through is weak at this point. Tolleson Aviation High pressure building over the area today. Seeing a mix of fog (with lifr conditions) and low stratus (with MVFR ifr conditions) across the area, which will continue until around 18z when clouds start to really break up. Light offshore winds should keep the coastVFR through tonight. After around 18z, expectVFR conditions across the area through the rest of today. Kpdx and approaches... Fog will keep lifr conditions at the airport through much of this morning. Expect fog to start breaking up around 18z, with improvement toVFR by 19z-20z. -lm Marine High pressure building in over the waters. An inverted surface trough along the coast strengthens Monday night and Tuesday, which will produce northerly wind gusts around 20-25 kt. This will be short lived as a weak cold front drops south into our waters on Wednesday, bringing northerlies around 20 kt behind this feature. The inverted surface trough under high pressure returns late in the week with 25 kt wind gusts possible again Thursday and Friday. Seas gradually falling today, dropping below 10 ft late this evening. Seas continue to gradually fall to around 6 ft by Wednesday, and stay around 5 to 7 ft through Friday. -lm Pqr watches warnings advisories Or... None. Wa... None. Pz...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
