Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 205 AM PST Sun Nov 3 2024

SYNOPSIS
Decreasing showers today, with snow at times across the higher Cascades. Another front will push across the region on Monday, with rain and breezy southerly winds. Then, showery later in the afternoon through Tuesday. Will see a few dry days for the mid- week, though will be chilly, frosty nights. Rainy weather returns Friday, and could be very wet for next weekend.


SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday)...NOAA satellite imagery showing cool northwest flow aloft over the region this am. Still have just enough instability aloft to support showers. Snow level holding around 4000 ft this morning. But, showers have been decreasing, so will let current Winter Weather Advisory expire.

Upper level ridge will build across region today, with warming aloft. As it does, will see air mass gradually stabilizing, with showers decreasing. Will keep most of the showers today over the higher terrain, where still maintain somewhat favorable orographic flow. Even with lingering showers today, think will only get 1 to 5 inches more across the Cascades, though most will drop this am. Snow levels will be slowly rising this afternoon into tonight.

Clearing tonight, with transitory ridge shifts inland. Likely have plenty of fog/low clouds form tonight, especially inland. But, next front will be approaching later tonight, with increasing clouds. As the front draws closer, rain will increase along the coast in pre-dawn hours, with rain spreading across the interior Monday morning. Should be a rather wet day. Front likely to push across the region Monday afternoon, with lingering showers mid to late afternoon. Pressure gradients to tighten ahead of the front, with gusty southerly winds along the coast. Likely to get peak gusts of 40 to 50 mph along the coast Monday morning, and 25 to 35 mph farther inland for late morning into the afternoon. Will note NBM does show a 10-20% chance for wind gusts as high as 60 mph along the far north Oregon coast and south Washington coast.

Once front shifts inland see transition to showers by evening. Snow level will lower back down, from near 8000 ft Monday to 4500 feet Monday evening. Snow likely to fall again across the passes at that time. Not much change for Tuesday, as maintain cool unstable air mass and decreasing showers. Snow level still holding near 3500 feet. But, with the hit-n-miss nature of the showers, think snow accumulations stay in 2 to 6 inch range. /Alviz/Rockey

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Friday)...Ensemble members are in agreement of upper level ridging building over the eastern Pacific and shifting over the Pacific Northwest mid-week. This will bring a period of dry weather and clear skies Wednesday-Thursday. Note that these clearing skies will be conducive to fog and frost formation each night. Frost coverage is mainly confined to the Cascade foothills/valleys and Upper Hood River Valley Tuesday night, but better clearing Wednesday night will result in more widespread frost. Freezing conditions are possible in the south Willamette Valley, as NBM suggests a 40-60% chance of Thursday morning lows falling below 32 degrees. Frost in the eastern Portland/Vancouver Metro area could be inhibited by mixing from Columbia River Gorge winds keeping things relatively warmer.

Friday, WPC cluster analyses suggest the ridge begins to push eastward, with half of the ensemble members showing troughing moving into the Pacific Northwest. This would return precip chances going into the end of the week. /Alviz

AVIATION
Front continues to push through the area with showers becoming more scattered west of the Cascades. Winds remain out of the S-SW through the Willamette Valley but have turned to the W-NW along the coast and should remain less than 10 knots areawide.
Mainly VFR conditions expected, though passing showers may briefly reduce CIGs and or VIS. Breaks in the clouds behind the front may allow for some patchy fog to develop but shouldn't impact any TAF sites.

PDX APPROACHES...Mainly VFR conditions expected through the period. Could see a passing shower or two but not expected to bring substantial impacts. Southerly winds around 4-8 kt expected to shift westerly behind the front. -Batz

MARINE
A passing trough will keep wind gusts between 25-30 knots for all zones through much of Sunday morning. Seas 10 to 12 feet at 8 to 10 seconds. Winds will subside late Sunday morning below Small Craft Advisory criteria but seas will remain steep, a Hazardous Seas Warning will replace the Small Craft Advisory at 10 am.

A strong low pressure system will approach western Canada Sunday night into Monday and will send a westerly swell toward the Pacific Northwest coast. Seas are expected to increase to between 15-20 feet Sunday afternoon and maintain through Tuesday, with a period of 17-19 seconds but dropping to 14-16 seconds by Monday morning.

Another trough drops towards the Pacific Northwest coast Sunday night, increasing the pressure gradient across the waters early Monday morning. 60-80% chance for Gales for the northern and central waters 4 am through the afternoon. A Gale Watch has been issued for this time frame. -Batz

BEACH HAZARDS
Long period swell around 17-19 seconds in the 15 to 17 ft is expected to bring impacts starting late Sunday afternoon into Monday morning. Have issued a Beach Hazard Statement for sneaker wave potential. /mh
