Fxus66 kpdt 161033 afdpdt area forecast discussion national weather service pendleton or 233 am pst Fri nov 16 2018 Short term Today through Sunday night... A weak weather disturbance will move southeast today in a northwest flow aloft. This system has limited amounts of moisture with it, but there should be some light rain and high elevation (above pass level) snow over the northern blue mountains and the wallowa mountains today, especially this morning. This system will gradually move out of the area tonight with high pressure aloft building in behind it for the remainder of the short term forecast period. As the ridge builds into the region there will be an increase in subsidence and strengthening of inversions in the lower valleys again. This will result in increasing patchy fog and low clouds which will become more widespread with time. Temperatures in the valleys will be below freezing, especially at night so there will be some freezing fog. The fog droplets will freeze to surfaces making them slick. Diurnal temperature changes under the areas of low clouds and fog will be little, but in the mountains at elevations above the inversions the diurnal temperature changes will be much greater. Overall highs will be mainly in the 40s to near 50 in these areas, but temperatures will have a tough time rising above the 30s in the valleys that are under the inversions. Winds will be light through the short term period. An air stagnation advisory remains in effect this morning for the yakima valley due to poor mixing out of pollutants in the lower valleys. This may be extended, and possibly expanded, this morning per coordination with local air quality officials. 88 Long term Monday through Friday... Long term period begins with good model agreement between operational and ensemble guidance with persistent upper level ridging over the pacific NW continuing through at least Tuesday and likely into Wednesday. While dry weather and light winds expected, low stratus fog freezing fog is expected to continue in the lower columbia basin and other valleys basins due to the strengthening low level inversion and air stagnation. Like early this past week, diurnal temperature ranges in foggy areas, especially the columbia basin, will see spreads generally less than 10 degrees with highs likely only in the 30s. Areas outside the fog - central oregon and mountains will see much larger diurnal temp swings and highs in the 40s to lower 50s. By

late next week beginning to see the breakdown of and eastward shift of the ridge as a series of short waves is expected to bring a good chance of rain and mountain snow to the pacific nw. Models coming into better agreement with the approach of the first quick-moving open shortwave and cold front pushing through around Wednesday night into thanksgiving. Best chances for precip would be in the mountains as the basin looks to remain fairly shadowed under the westerly flow. The arrival of the next system won't be far behind on Friday. This system looks to have a better plume of pacific moisture and better upper-level dynamics and could bring a good chance of rain mountain snow for the region, but location and timing are inconsistent between the models this far out. Snow levels will hover around 3800 to 5000 feet range for the period, so little snow impacts for the major corridors. Expect an uptick in winds beginning Wednesday ahead of the first wave which will likely help clear up some of the persistent stratus and fog. Thursday into Friday will likely be windier and any remaining fog and stratus will be extinguished. The active pattern is expected to continue into the weekend. Aviation 12z tafs...VFR conditions expected but with some increasing mid level clouds with some clearing taking place late today. Could be some showers in the vicinity of psc, kpdt and kalw as well today. Some patchy fog will be possible at kykm and kpsc through this morning. Winds will become northerly today but remain less than 10 kts.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
