SYNOPSIS. An upper ridge will bring dry and seasonable weather today. A potent Pacific frontal system will usher in cool, wet, and blustery weather to the entire forecast area by Friday night, where rain will be locally heavy into Saturday. Cool and showery conditions will follow into Sunday, while isolated thunderstorms are possible both Saturday and Sunday. Rain will be orographically enhanced over the Coast Range and Cascades, where over three inches of rain is possible.
SHORT TERM /Today through Sunday/. In the calm before the storm, an upper ridge will bring dry weather today. This morning's dry airmass has allowed for minimum temperatures down into the upper 30s to mid 40s, which will quickly warm today into the mid 70s in the lowlands and into the mid 60s in the higher terrain and along the coasts. Clouds should begin increasing tonight
Clouds will begin increasing tonight as the vigorous weather system moves in closer, while winds will turn more southerly. A warm front will rise up over the area ahead of the surface low digging down along the western B.C. coast, increasing the southerly winds. Overall, models have slowed the system a bit, so have adjusted the arrival of the precipitation, however they continue to keep the strongest forcing and moisture transport north of our area on Friday, mainly toward the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island. With the slower arrival time and strong southerly winds, have warmed Friday's high temperature forecast, especially over the southern Willamette Valley. Further north, light rain and drizzle will spread inland north and west of Portland during the daytime hours. Southerly winds will increase, especially along the coast. Model guidance continues to show possible gusts to 50 mph Friday evening here, with up to 35 mph possible for the Willamette Valley.
The brunt of the system is expected to push in late Friday night through Saturday morning, when the cold front slides across the forecast area. The frontogenesis has trended slightly stronger than previous model runs, ahead and under the 115+kt jet aloft. Rain will become heavier, mainly in the midnight to sunrise on Saturday time frame for areas near Portland and northwest, then sunrise to noon south and east of Portland. Instability with the frontal passage and good turning of the lower level winds may allow for isolated thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and into the evening. Snow levels will be lowering to near 7000 feet by Saturday noon then down to near 6000 feet by Saturday night through Sunday. Widespread rain showers will continue Sunday with the continued chance for thunder as the upper level trough passes overhead. Sunday's temperatures will be down in the 50s to low 60s. /Kriederman
LONG TERM. Monday through Thursday . Showers may continue Monday morning, but overall should be pretty much done. Total rainfall amounts for the weekend event continues to range around 1-2 inches for the inland valleys by Monday morning, and 2-4 inches for the higher terrain.
Deterministic models build in an upper ridge quickly after the departing weather system. Yet that ridge will be shoved east just as quick as another upper trough pushes in from the Pacific, quite normal in this changing of seasons. A chance of rain will come again for Tuesday into Wednesday, before agreement between the models becomes poor quite quickly. /Kriederman
AVIATION. Dry, northerly flow will keep skies mostly clear through this afternoon while a weak upper ridge builds over the region today. The flow aloft will turn more westerly tonight ahead of an approaching warm front. Will see increasing mid and high clouds tonight through Friday morning across the forecast area. Low clouds along with some light rain will likely push onshore along the north Oregon and southwest Washington coast around 12Z Friday. Hi-Res model guidance suggests possible MVFR conditions developing at KAST Friday morning.
Northerly surface winds along the coast will likely become breezy this afternoon. Winds are expected to shift later this evening becoming more southeasterly, sometime after 06Z-08Z Friday.

KPDX AND APPROACHES . VFR expected next 24 hours as dry, stable conditions continue. Northerly winds will increase again to around 10 kts this afternoon into early evening. Southeasterly wind shift likely after 10Z Friday along with increasing high and mid clouds. /DH
MARINE. A relatively quiet period for the about the next 24 hours as surface high pressure over the waters remain gradually weakens. The high pressure then yields to a robust Pacific system. An initial warm front moves across the northern zones early Friday with a trailing cold front following during the afternoon. Gale force winds appear likely for the northern zones so have upgraded the Gale Watch to a Warning spanning from 8 am Friday through Friday night. The warning duration is probably a bit generous, but left some buffer in case models pickup on small scale features that may delay the front. Left the southern zones as a Gale Watch for now as latest models not as strong as yesterday. Seas also rise a tad to 10 to 12 ft, primarily consisting of steep wind driven waves. /mh
