Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 315 PM PST Fri Dec 6 2019
SYNOPSIS. An upper level low well off the northern California coast early this morning will move east and weaken through Saturday. This will bring periods of light rain to the area. The unsettled conditions continue through Saturday night. High pressure returns to the area Sunday and persists into early next week for another potential round of air quality issues.
SHORT TERM. Tonight through Monday . Water vapor satellite imagery this afternoon reveals a large shortwave trough and closed low pressure over the eastern Pacific. The remnants of an occluding front are shifting northeastward across the area. Expect mainly sprinkles initially late this afternoon and early this evening. Between the lower atmosphere gradually moistening, increasing mid level forcing and a destabilization of the atmosphere, we should see increasing showers spread north-northeastward across the area overnight. A couple distinct waves rotating around the parent low pressure will likely provide a focus for showers. The first wave has already rounded the base of the trough and is currently lifting northward towards the northern California coast. Models are in decent agreement this will spread a more solid round of showers across the area late this evening. The next wave is nearing the base of the parent shortwave trough and will likely provide another focus for showers Saturday morning as it lifts northward across the area. An area of light, but steady rain will likely develop Saturday across our northwestern zones before shifting southeastward across the area Saturday night as a secondary shortwave trough drops southeastward out of the Gulf of Alaska. Expect showers to decrease late Saturday night into early Sunday.
Models are in a good agreement a sharp and elongated shortwave ridge will build northward across the eastern Pacific Sunday night into Monday before shifting eastward across the area. This will likely result in a period of light winds, very little mixing and plenty of valley fog and low clouds.
After coordinating with state, regional and county air quality agencies, we opted to extend the air stagnation advisory through the first half of Tuesday. Given the wide range of rainfall scenarios produced by the models and their ensembles over the next 24-36 hours, there is a lot of uncertainty in whether or not there will be enough rain to scrub particulate matter out of the atmosphere. Given the atmosphere will remain largely stable through the weekend, opted to extend the advisory through the weekend and into early next week when air stagnation conditions will intensify. /Neuman
LONG TERM. Monday night through Saturday . The operational models and their ensembles are in general agreement a sharp shortwave ridge over the Pacific Northwest Monday night will shift eastward and open the region to increasing westerly flow aloft and allow weakening fronts to spread into the region during the middle of next week. Air stagnation issues should continue through at least the first half of Tuesday. However, timing differences and whether or not the first front will hold together enough to produce precipitation across the area remains a point of contention among the models and their ensembles so PoPs have been held mainly in the slight chance to chance categories Tuesday into early Wednesday.
When examining the WPC 500mb height clusters for next Thursday through Saturday, there is general agreement that a broad deep positively tilted trough will dig southward over the southern Gulf of Alaska while a shortwave ridge builds northward along the West Coast of the US. This pattern appears favorable for an atmospheric river to move northeastward towards the Pacific Northwest. However, there are considerable differences in the models in the amplitude of the shortwave ridge over the West Coast, which makes a big difference in whether or not it will impact Oregon, Washington or British Columbia later next week. In addition, there are scenarios like the GFS that /Neuman
AVIATION. Radar shows the warm front moving through the forecast area bringing rain to the coast. This front is expected to move inland tonight around 03Z Sat. While the rain will generally be light, periods of enhanced rainfall are expected after 09Z Sat which may reduce visibility to 4SM or less at times. Cigs will mainly be VFR through much of the forecast period, falling to low VFR/high MVFR levels around 09Z Sat as atmospheric temperatures begin to cool slightly. With a strong inversion in place overnight, there is a chance for IFR conditions with the potential for fog redevelopment around KEUG. In general though, the southern Willamette Valley may see cigs around 1000 ft AGL, especially as precipitation intensifies. Elsewhere inland, expect ceilings around 1500 ft AGL.
KPDX AND APPROACHES . VFR for the next several hours. Light showers will transition to more widespread rain around 06Z Sat, with a brief period of heaviest rain around 12Z. Visibility may be reduced at times with heavy rain. Winds will remain below 10 kt and offshore through the next 24 hr. -Muessle
MARINE. A low pressure system in the Pacific is beginning to erode as a front along the leading edge moves inland today. This system has created high energy seas causing winds to increase to 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 30 kt from the south in the outer waters. These conditions can be observed by buoy 46089 WNW of Tillamook, OR. These winds, while slow to get going, are expected to persist through Sat morning. The swell is generally southerly with seas building to 9 to 11 ft with a period of around 13 seconds. Similar to winds, seas are expected to ease Sat morning. Inner waters are following a similar trend of weakening overnight through Sat morning. However, the magnitude of these winds are much lower in the 10 to 15 kt range.
The post frontal environment will become fairly calm as high pressure builds in behind the low pressure system. This will keep seas around 5 ft 15 seconds. The next weather maker will come late next week when a low, stemming from the Gulf of Alaska, advances towards the waters on Fri. -Muessle
