12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion . CORRECTED National Weather Service Portland OR 1012 PM PDT Sat Apr 4 2020
Corrected typo in aviation discussion
SYNOPSIS. A couple of upper lows will maintain cloudy weather with a chance for showers through at least Sunday night. Instability will increase in the afternoons for a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms over the Oregon Cascades. An upper ridge of high pressure builds over the pacific NW Monday and Tuesday and holds through at least Thursday for dry weather and gradually warmer daytime temperatures.
SHORT TERM. Tonight through Tuesday . Forecast appears to be on track at the moment, as the rain band which pushed through the Portland metro area has weakened while moving into Washington. Snow levels are generally around 3000 feet this evening. Strong April solar energy has kept the passes mostly wet this afternoon, but high elevation roads will likely become more icy and slick as this evening progresses. The leading shortwave responsible for the northern batch of precipitation will continue to lift northward the next few hours, splitting apart as it moves into Washington. Precip will be probably be spotty for our northern zones for the remainder of tonight, while additional precip bands/showers associated with low pres over SW Oregon keep a decent chance of rain and Cascades snow for Lane County into Sunday morning.
Water vapor imagery shows a complex upper low moving southward along 130W this evening. While the cold core of this upper low continues S-SE to the northern California coast Sunday, surface low pressure will push inland into Oregon. This system will continue the threat for showers for the area into Sunday and provide another possibility for afternoon thunderstorms across the Oregon Cascades Sunday afternoon. South to southwest 0 to 6 km AGL streamlines suggest that any thunderstorms that may form across the south and central Oregon Cascades may drift north to northwest for a slight chance of thunderstorms along the central Oregon Cascade foothills. Do not think the thunderstorms will last long enough to impact much of the Willamette Valley though due to the lack of surface-based instability across the lowlands. However, if there is clearing in the Willamette Valley late in the morning or early afternoon, it may improve the chances.
Showers will continue but decrease from the north to south Sunday night and Monday as an upper ridge begins to squeeze in between the upper low over northern CA and an upper trough over the British Columbia. The upper ridge builds over the Pacific NW Monday night and Tuesday pushing the Californian low further south. Models hint that the upper high may settle in north of the upper low into a rex blocking pattern by Tuesday afternoon. Weagle/TJ
LONG TERM. Tuesday night through Saturday . Models and ensembles forecast a rex blocking pattern starting the long term forecast with an upper ridge of high pressure over the Pacific NW and an upper low over southern California. This will result in at least a few days of dry weather with daytime temperatures gradually warming. Models currently forecast Thursday to be the warmest day of the week with afternoon temperatures peaking at or just below 70 degrees in the interior low lands. Light onshore flow will maintain near normal temperatures along the coast though with afternoon temperatures along the coast peaking at or just below 60 degrees.
Uncertainty begins to creep into the forecast Friday as some of the models forecast the southern upper low will move inland and an upper trough over the Gulf of Alaska flattening the upper ridge. Models have a tendency to forecast the breakdown of blocking patterns too quickly, and expect that the upper pressure pattern will take a little longer to change, and that dry weather will persist another 1 or 2 days. Regardless, PoPs are reintroduced to the forecast beginning Friday night with daytime temperatures gradually cooling Friday into next weekend. It is worth mentioning that if the upper ridge persists Friday into Saturday, that the afternoon temperatures may possibly be warmer on Friday as opposed to cooler. ~TJ
AVIATION. Low pressure to the southwest opened up and moved north this evening as another offshore low pressure begins to dive south. most terminals north of Salem remained VFR aside from brief exceptions. KSLE and KUEG have settled into IFR/LIFR respectively. Light northerly flow up the Willamette Valley will likely keep this low deck in place through overnight and well into the morning. Generally expect conditions to improve to VFR all areas as Sunday progresses. Instability generated by the now closer low will develop showers across SW Oregon Sunday afternoon. These showers will drift north to affect KEUG and possible thunderstorms most likely will stay east of the field and closer to the Cascades.
PDX AND APPROACHES . Main rain band has passed north but showers are trailing. Expect Cigs to primarily remain VFR but 035-040 to affect VFR approaches from terrain obscuration through 05/19Z. /JBonk
MARINE. Low pressure to the southwest will continue through this evening. It is slowly losing energy as it sits off the southern Oregon coast reducing chances of strong winds through tonight. There is some disagreement between the hi-res models on exactly where low will track but all solutions show relatively weak winds over the northern and central Oregon waters. Possibility of stronger gusts around 21 kt near 60nm late tonight into tomorrow morning.
Weak thermal trough will build Monday afternoon and rebuild with greater intensity Tuesday afternoon. Chance for SCA winds during this time for the central waters is likely. High pressure builds well offshore during this time which will keep northerly winds through next week.
Seas will build slightly as offshore winds turn more northerly. Wave heights will trend between 5 to 7 ft through the week. -BPhillips
