SYNOPSIS. Low pressure dropping south offshore will keep a threat of showers over the region through Wednesday. Upper level high pressure is expected to bring drier weather for much of Thursday through at least early Saturday. A trough will drop south from Alaska to bring precipitation chances back in the forecast at some point on Saturday, then cross the region through Monday.
SHORT TERM. Today through Wednesday Night . Upper level low pressure, now centered about 450 miles off the Vancouver Island Coast, has moved a (sarcastically) whopping 150 miles south over the last 24 hours. This has resulted in significant timing changes in the forecast for the next few days. To begin with, the initial cold front from yesterday morning has since fully occluded, wrapped around the low, and since dissipated. There is now an elongated area of unstable clouds stretching from Vancouver Island and south to off the Golden Gate that we suppose would best be called a developing cold front. Have seen plenty of lightning activity both along the north end of the front off the Olympic Peninsula as well as west of the front and rotating around the base of the closed low.
Models seem to have adapted to this new orientation and slower movement to the low. The new quasi-frontal boundary does appear to stay positioned just off the coast per the models, keeping most of the deeper convection with it. As such, am following their lead by maintaining showers over the broad area and also introducing a threat for thunderstorms mostly over our coastal waters today with storms continuing into tonight. Upper dynamic support for the over land showers seems much weaker than yesterday with the expectation that showers will be weaker and hail much more difficult to come by. The exception may be the coast south of Newport where the quasi- front could drift slightly further east this afternoon and evening to bring stronger showers and maybe a thunderstorm.
Tonight will again see the land showers dissipate in the evening as the sunsets, however, the upper low is currently progged to drift a little closer to shore as it makes a roughly 300 mile move to the south-southeast. This position again brings the CWA under better diffluent flow aloft with general shower activity potentially returning overnight along with a continued threat for nocturnal thunderstorms over the waters and along the central coast as a shortwave rotates northward overnight.
Tuesday will see the upper low center drift to off the SW Oregon coast. Usually a low becoming centered this far south means our area is out of the deeper convection threat. Am hesitant to fully buy in on that notion though as the low also appears to be elongating to the north as the center drifts south keeping diffluent flow overhead. This may be a case where the central and south valley see southerly flow and unstable conditions while the PDX Metro and northward areas start showery and then somewhat stabilize with time Tuesday.
Wednesday has a new wrinkle as the upper low will now be much closer to the south than was indicated 24 hours ago. Additionally, an upper trough with ties to the Canadian arctic will be pushing southwest across Alberta. This will destabilize the region again as it ties in to some of the lingering moisture rotating north around the still nearby closed low. Given multiple models have latched onto this, felt compelled to expand the shower coverage Wednesday. Again, showers likely dissipate near sunset.
Back to this morning, areas of low stratus have developed from radiational cooling given the breaks in higher clouds. Suspect this will only slightly delay the onset of showers today. However, do have concern this stratus will settle closer to the surface and result in patchy dense fog. WIll continue to monitor as adjust as needed. Do expect this scenario to potentially play out each night through the next few nights, especially assuming showers continue each day as expected. /JBonk
LONG TERM. Thursday through Sunday . Main change is again an overall delay to the dry period which will now see some lower end PoPs appear on a 24 hour delay to Thursday. Have added showers for mainly Lane County end of the forecast area, although, these showers may not even make it to the afternoon. Elsewhere, the dry period is expected to begin as high pressure gets pinched over our area between another trough dropping south from Alaska and north of the departing closed low to our south.
Operational models are now all in agreement as the ECMWF compromised toward the GFS solution with the approaching trough now slated to arrive sometime Saturday late afternoon or night. This trough will be substantially cooler than what we've seen with the current upper low. NBM snow levels based on wide ranging and tuned ensemble data brought overnight snow levels as low as 500 feet MSL. The operational runs, however, barely fall below 1500 feet during overnight hours Sunday and Monday. For now, have taken the NBM guidance but artificially boosted the low end overnight values closer to 1500 feet while keeping the daytime 2000-2500 ft values as is. Regardless, the lowest snow levels are slated to occur after the initial cold front and heaviest precipitation occurs. It should be said, the Cascades, higher foothills, and higher Coast Range appear to possibly receive several inches of snow sometime between late Saturday night and Sunday night, depending on the specific frontal arrival timing. /JBonk
AVIATION. At 11Z Monday, high clouds with cigs above 10 kft were occurring across northwest OR and far southwest WA. Patchy fog and low stratus with cigs in the 300-500 ft range had formed over the Cowlitz Valley where high clouds are thinner. Low stratus and fog has also moved down parts of the lower Columbia into Vancouver and KPDX early this morning. Fog and low stratus should scatter out by 16Z Monday and give way to VFR flight conditions through Monday evening. The main exception will be with passing showers expected this afternoon and evening, which will bring the potential for brief periods of MVFR cigs and lowered visibilities. There is also a slight chance of thunderstorms this evening into tonight, mainly along the central OR coast. If a thunderstorm does affect a TAF site, it would most likely be at KONP. Stronger showers or storms will have the potential to produce small hail and brief gusty winds. Confidence in exact timing for potential storms is too low to include a mention of it in the 12Z TAFs at this time. Model guidance suggests cigs will lower to 2000-3500 ft Monday night into Tuesday morning, but cloud cover should be scattered to broken rather than overcast.

KPDX AND APPROACHES . Fog early Monday morning with broken cigs around 300 ft, becoming VFR by 16Z. VFR should then continue through at least Monday evening, with cigs potentially lowering to MVFR Monday night. Scattered showers this afternoon and evening will also bring the potential for brief periods of MVFR cigs. Small hail and brief gusty winds cannot be ruled out with stronger showers. -TK
MARINE. Westerly swell will remain elevated early this morning between 12 and 18 ft, highest over the outer waters. Expect seas to gradually decrease during the mid to late morning hours, falling to 10 to 12 ft by mid afternoon. Despite falling seas, southerly winds should increase a bit late this evening into tonight with gusts to 30 kt expected over the outer waters and gusts to 25 kt for the inner waters. Therefore, will maintain a Small Craft Advisory for winds and seas through Tuesday morning. In addition, the threat for sneaker waves will remain high along the coastline through Monday afternoon.
Model guidance suggests seas will fall to 7 to 9 ft Tuesday night with winds falling below 20 kt as weak high pressure begins to settle in. High pressure is expected to strengthen Wednesday into Friday, bringing a prolonged period of winds below 20 kt and seas in the 5 to 9 ft range. Benign conditions will continue into Saturday, before a cold front sweeps across the waters Saturday night into Sunday. -TK
