Updated Hazards and Aviation discussion.
SYNOPSIS
Onshore flow will maintain seasonable temperatures through much of the coming week. Chances for light rain return to the coast Monday night into Tuesday and inland Tuesday night into Wednesday, with very little to no measurable rain expected for most inland locations. Transitioning to a cool and showery weather pattern Friday into Saturday as a closed upper level low settles over the region and brings more substantial rain amounts to the area.
DISCUSSION
Visible satellite shows clear skies across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington this afternoon as morning stratus was much quicker to burn off than the past few days. This will help temperatures reach well into the 70s across most inland locations today, with marine influences keeping coastal areas closer to the upper 50s or low 60s. Little change is expected in the sensible weather over the next few days as deep upper level troughing over the NE Pacific maintains a broad onshore flow regime across the Pacific Northwest. This will equate to seasonable temperatures in the upper 70s in the inland valleys through Wednesday, with onshore flow keeping coastal communities cooler and cloudier. Tuesday has the potential to be the warmest day of the week, with the probability to surpass 80 degrees ranging from 60-80% from the Portland Vancouver Metro through the rest of the Willamette Valley on Tuesday afternoon.
Rain chances continue to look rather minimal and mostly confined to the coast through Wednesday as a pair of week fronts traverse the area. The first of these fronts approaches late Monday into Tuesday, but looks to fall apart offshore. Can't rule out a few sprinkles along the coast late Monday night into early Tuesday, but expect the rest of the area to remain dry.
The somewhat better chance for some light rain will come with the second weak front Tuesday night into early Wednesday, however, model QPF values remain on the meager side as coastal areas from about Tillamook County northward still only have a 30-40% chance to reach a tenth of an inch. Meanwhile, amounts have continued to dwindle further inland as the Portland area now only has about a 5% chance to even see a tenth of an inch through Wednesday morning. Will most likely see only a trace to a couple hundredths in the Portland Metro, with areas to the south from Salem to Eugene likely to stay dry.
After another dry and seasonable day on Thursday, chances for more substantial rainfall continue to increase Friday into Saturday as the deep upper level trough moves directly overhead.
Nearly all ensemble members now depict at least some measurable rain for locations in the Willamette Valley, with the chance to receive a wetting rain of a quarter inch increasing to around 40% in the Portland Metro and 20% from Salem to Eugene. Coastal areas and the higher terrain of the Cascades have the best chances for a wetting rain, with probabilities ranging from 50-60% in those areas. Regardless of exact amounts, confidence continues to increase in a wetter pattern with widespread showers likely across the area towards the end of the week, Can't rule out a few thunderstorms Friday into Saturday as cooling aloft yields steeper mid level lapse rates, but opted not include thunderstorms in the forecast at this time as the NBM currently only depicts around a 10% chance across the area.
Thunderstorm potential will likely ultimately depend on any breaks in the cloud cover which can help to generate surface based instability. It is worth noting that any thunderstorms would likely be accompanied by locally heavy rainfall given the abundant moisture which will be in place. /CB
AVIATION
Along the coast, marine stratus will redevelop tonight, yielding MVFR/IFR cigs at AST/ONP after 10-12Z Mon with chances for IFR conditions increasing to the north. Restricted cigs should mix out by 18-20Z Mon, before further stratus is expected again after 03-06Z Tue. Northwest winds will remain below 5 kt through the overnight period, and increase to 5-10 kt out of the west to northwest by Monday afternoon.
Inland, VFR conditions are likely to persist throughout the period, although few-sct stratus at 2-3 kft is expected to build westward from the Cascades overnight. There remains a 15-25% chance of coverage increasing enough to result in MVFR cigs, most likely at TTD. Cloud bases will lift as mixing deepens by 20-21Z Mon. Winds below 5 kt overnight will increase out of the west to northwest at 5-10 kt by Monday afternoon.
*KTTD ASOS is currently INOP except for altimeter and will be AMD NOT SKED.
PDX AND APPROACHES...VFR flying conditions expected throughout the period. Sct stratus coverage at 2-3 kft is again expected to encroach from the west after 10-12Z Mon, with around a 10% chance of MVFR cigs if stratus coverage is higher than anticipated. Skies will trend clearer and cloud bases lift above 3-4 kft by Monday afternoon as mixing increases. Northwest winds around 5 kt overnight increase to 5-10 kt by Monday afternoon. -Picard
MARINE
North/northwesterly flow continues, with diurnally driven peaks in the afternoon. Winds 15-20 kt with gusts to around 25 kt continue south of Cape Falcon to Florence through this evening. As a result, the Small Craft Advisory from Cape Falcon OR to Florence OR will remain in effect until 11 PM Sunday.
A weak disturbance is expected to cross the region on Monday, supporting southerly winds late Monday and through Tuesday. A westerly swell is also expected to move into the waters late Monday, generally around 5 ft at 10 seconds. Combined seas still look to remain 7 ft or less through next week. -Batz
