SYNOPSIS
High pressure over the region will remain through Friday, maintaining mild sunny days and cool clear nights. Offshore flow increases a bit for Thu and Fri, with uptick of easterly winds. Back to cooler conditions this weekend, as a front pushes across the region on Sat.
SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...
After a cool start, and frosty in spots, will see a rather pleasant April day, with sunshine and light north winds. Overall, will see temperatures will climb back to the upper 50s along the coast, and lower 60s for most of the interior lowlands.
Rather nice weather expected for Thu and Fri, as high pressure offshore drives the local weather patterns. High pressure will remain anchored just offshore today into Thursday. This high pressure ridge offshore will lead to development of low level offshore flow across the region, as thermal trough develops along the coast. As such, will maintain mostly clear skies into Thu, with another cool night on tap. But, should not be as cool as this am.
On Thu, will see high pressure build east of the Cascades, thanks to high pressure sliding southeast out of Alberta into the northern Plains. As such, will see a boost to the offshore pressure gradients, enough to push east winds of 5 to 15 mph over much of the region Thu into Fri. Models mostly suggest about 4 to 6 mb of cross-Gorge gradient, enough to support gusts of 25 to 35 mph near Troutdale and for more common east wind favored spots of the Portland/Vancouver metro for Thu through Fri. Even the coast will have touch of east to northeast winds as well, with gusts 10 to 20 mph in spots. This offshore flow will help to boost afternoon temperatures, with highs (mainly Fri) in the upper 60s to lower 70s along the coast, and lower to middle 70s for interior lowlands. /Rockey
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
Models have been consistent, and persistent, in showing a weakening front arriving on Saturday. As such, will be cooler day, with increasing clouds. Difficult to say how much precipitation will be around, but will follow guidance and keep PoPs (prob of precipitation) at likely along the coast in the morning, spreading inland and northward for mid-day into the afternoon. With system falling part as it moves inland, will transition high PoPs over Washington and lower as move southward towards Lane County. ONshore flow, with clouds and few showers around for Sat night into Sun. But, GFS and ECMWF still show gradual improvement on Sun. Likely to be mostly dry for Sun afternoon, and will trend forecasts as such. But, not confident to go all dry, so will keep some small chance of showers in the forecasts for Sun.
High pressure will build for early next week, with return of dry and mild weather for Mon into Tue. /Rockey
AVIATION
VFR expected to prevail through 12Z Thu as high pressure aloft dominates the weather. Clear skies, calm winds, and near freezing temperatures may result in frost build-up on exposed and elevated surfaces early this morning. Northerly winds along the coast and Willamette Valley increase this afternoon to around 10-15 kt, with gusts up to 20-25 kt. Winds strongest at the coast.
PDX AND APPROACHES...VFR conditions expected through 12Z Thu. Winds turn more northerly and strengthen to around 08-13 kt after 21z Wed through 05Z Thu. /mh
MARINE
High pressure off the WA/B.C. coast with a thermal trough along the south Oregon coast will persist through Thursday night. The high pressure shifts inland by Friday shifting winds front northerly to easterly. This configuration breaks down Friday night as a Pacific front approaches and moves through the waters Saturday. Northerly wind gusting to 25 kt expected today for most of the waters, so a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for PZZ252, 253, 272, 273 through tonight. May need to extend the Small Craft Advisory into Thursday but will see what next model runs show.
General seas through the weekend of 4 to 6 feet at 11 to 17 seconds, consisting of a long period southwest swell or a shorter period west to northwest swell. /mh
