Updated AVIATION forecast for 00Z TAFs

DISCUSSION...Dry weather is expected for most of the next week, with high pressure dominating the area, and only a few exceptions as weak systems moving through or nearby. Heading into tonight and Saturday morning, a mostly dry cold front will approach the Oregon coast and then dissipate as it moves onshore. This will bring some increased clouds, and perhaps some light precipitation to the coast and the northern Cascades, but amounts will be low, if measurable at all. The relatively cold air behind the front will struggle to surge into southern Oregon and northern California given the weak northwest flow late Saturday through Sunday. As a result, temperatures will trend lower, although there is no drastic 10 to 20 degree cool down. Otherwise, dry can clear will be the rule through Monday

By next week, a trough will swing through southern Oregon around Tuesday and bring a 10 to 20% chance of showers in Lake and Modoc counties. There could thunderstorms as well as the NBM guidance is showing a 15% chance of cloud to ground lightning in the aforementioned areas, which is essentially GFS and ECMWF MOS at this lead time. Forecast soundings are not that impressive, although they do show a little convective available potential energy west of Alturas.

Towards the tail end of the forecast period, ensembles are hinting at more precipitation entering the forecast as a more active pattern develops. In general, the probability of precipitation is about 20 to 30 percent Thursday evening and increasing slightly to 30 or 40 percent by Friday. There is still a lot to sort out as some ensemble members are definitely on the dry side through both days. -Smith/BPN
