Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 333 AM PDT Mon Mar 29 2020

SYNOPSIS. Another strong cold front will move inland across the region Monday morning which after a period of rain this morning will bring a cool and showery air mass lasting over the next few days. By Thursday showers are expected to decrease considerably with a bit milder temperatures, but a chance for rain returns at the end of the week as another trough of low pressure aloft drops down from the northwest.

SHORT TERM. Today through Wednesday . for the second day in a row, a cold front was approaching the coast early this morning. This front was a bit stronger however, with surface pressure gradients along the Oregon coastline likely to peak around 15 mb this morning, and already pushing gusts at some of the windiest locations to 60 kt. Coastal winds will peak as the front moves inland early this morning. Radar showed rain and Cascade snow had spread in ahead of the front across most of the area, and will continue through the morning until the front pushes through. Models generally showing the front crossing the Cascades by midday, with precipitation turning showery in the afternoon as cooler air aloft begins to push down into the northern part of the region. The main upper trough and coolest air aloft remains to the northwest of the forecast area today, but some models, Nam especially,suggests deep enough instability across the far north part of the forecast area to keep a slight chance of thunderstorms and small hail in the forecast this afternoon. Snow with the front, followed by orographically aided showers behind the front in a westerly flow peaking at 25 to 35 kt at 850 mb will combine to bring a sustained period of snowfall in the Cascades through tonight, so will keep the advisory for snow going there.

A weakened low level onshore flow continues Tuesday and Wednesday under a cyclonic flow aloft, which will help to sustain chances for showers each day. Model soundings broadly suggest that unstable layer would be deep enough to support a slight chance for thunderstorms each afternoon as the coolest air aloft moves across with the upper trough.

LONG TERM. Wednesday night through Saturday . Showers likely to drop off quickly Wednesday night into Thursday as the main upper trough axis is expected to move east, leaving the region with shortwave ridging aloft and a stabilizing air mass. The break is temporary though as models generally show a weak north Pacific cutoff low phasing with another shortwave dropping south out of the Yukon at the end of the week. There are some notable differences in the look, location and timing of this wave, but the general consensus in the models is that this wave will push in to the west coast around Friday, returning a better chance for rain to the region. Another shortwave appears poised to drop south into the region over the weekend.

AVIATION. Cold front, currently located just onshore, will continue moving across the region this morning. Expect MVFR cigs to continue at the coast this morning trending toward VFR by afternoon. Should see a few hours of MVFR cigs 015-025 inland this morning as the front crosses the region but otherwise VFR today. Southerly wind gusts 25 to 30 kt with the front will ease to around 20 kt for the rest of the day. Showers prevail today with thunderstorms possible north of rough KTMK- KCZK line. Deeper convection should ease by 31/03Z. Am seeing mixed message regarding potential MVFR Cigs tonight after the convection ends. Will plan on including MVFR Cigs 020-025 for most areas to continue through much of the remaining period.

PDX AND APPROACHES . Main initial impact will be southerly wind gusts 25-30 kt as a cold front approaches the field. Front appears it will clear the operations area by 15Z. Also expect MVFR cigs 017-023. Embedded moderate rain showers may lower vsbys as well through 15Z. Then expect cigs to lift to 035-045 with continued showers through 31/03Z. Thunderstorms will also be possible over the approaches and at the field through 31/03Z. The greatest threat will be to flights operating north of the Columbia River. After 31/03Z, it appears likely that MVFR cigs around 015 will set up in the area and remain through the night. /JBonk

MARINE. Gales should just about be exiting the waters and onshore at this hour. Will leave the Gale Warning in place through 5 AM to capture any lingering convective gusts above 34 kt. Have issued a SCA for the following 48 hours as frequent wind gusts and seas will likely exceed 21 kts and 10 ft respectively. COnditions becoming more uncertain from Wednesday and thereafter. High pressure still appears to build over the northeastern Pacific, however the axis is drifting further west. This opens up potential for a low pressure system to drop south along the BC coast Wednesday. Models are conspicuously showing a developing low undercut the ridge and approach from the west on Friday. This may clip our waters, but appears to just stay south at this time. /JBonk
