UPDATED AVIATION
SHORT TERM
TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...FEW CLOUDS CURRENTLY LINGER AROUND THE KITTITAS AND YAKIMA VALLEY INCLUDING PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN BLUES AND NORTHERN BLUE MOUNTAIN-FOOTHILLS.
OTHERWISE, MAINLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT WITH OCCASIONAL BREEZES (20 MPH OR LESS) AT THE SOUTHERN BLUE MOUNTAIN- FOOTHILLS AND CENTRAL OR FROM THE WESTERLY FLOW. LOW TEMPERATURES MAY REACH TO NEAR OR SUB-FREEZING OVER THE BLUES AND THE CASCADES FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. TOMORROW INTO THURSDAY MORNING, THE UPPER- LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER TO THE PACNW WITH WARM DRY CONDITIONS AND CLEAR SKIES. AND AS THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW TAKES OVER, WINDS WILL BE LOCALLY BREEZY UP TO 20 MPH TOMORROW AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONABLY WARM FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED DAYS AND THE REST OF THIS FORECAST PERIOD.
THURSDAY EVENING ONWARDS, THE RIDGE WILL THEN BREAK DOWN AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM OR COAST TO THE PACNW. THE WEATHER WILL GRADUALLY BECOME UNSTABLE AS LIGHT RAIN DEVELOPS AT OCHOCO-JOHN DAY HIGHLANDS. THE RAW ENSEMBLES FAVOR LESS THAN 20% PROBABILITY OF QPF AMOUNTS UP TO 0.10 OVER THE LOWER PART OF THE EAST SLOPES OF OR CASCADES, THOUGH INCREASES AS THE TROUGH MOVES CLOSELY ONSHORE. WINDS COULD BECOME SLIGHTLY BREEZY AROUND PORTIONS OF THE CASCADES GAPS, BUT CHANCES ARE LOW (<30%).
FEASTER/97
LONG TERM
FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ABOUT AN UPPER LOW AND TROUGH MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND THOUGH THERE ARE SOME DISAGREEMENTS ABOUT THE EXACT PATH THE LOW AND TROUGH WILL TAKE.
DESPITE THESE DIFFERENCES, MODELS ALL SHOW RAIN ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT, BEING CONFINED MAINLY TO THE MOUNTAINS SUNDAY AND THEN TAPERING OFF SUNDAY NIGHT. MODELS ALSO AGREE IN HAVING THE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE ROCKIES MONDAY WITH A RIDGE BUILDING OFFSHORE FOR A DRIER AND WARMER DAY. MODELS MOSTLY AGREE (80%) IN HAVING THE RIDGE CONTINUE TUESDAY THOUGH SOME GFS AND CANADIAN ENSEMBLE MEMBERS WANT TO BRING ANOTHER SYSTEM ON TUESDAY. THE EXTREME FORECAST INDEX HIGHLIGHTS BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH VALUES OF AROUND 0.67 SATURDAY AND MONDAY AND 0.82 ON SUNDAY. OTHERWISE, NO SIGNIFICANTLY UNUSUAL WEATHER IS EXPECTED. OVERALL MODEL CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE BUT DROPS TO AVERAGE BY TUESDAY.
FRIDAY STARTS OUT WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS MOVING INTO THE CASCADES AND CENTRAL OREGON FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN THE MORNING AND SPREADING ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA IN THE AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT. RAIN AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE UP TO A QUARTER INCH IN THE MOUNTAINS AND UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH IN CENTRAL OREGON WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS IN THE REST OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. SNOW LEVELS ARE 6000-7000 FEET, SO ONLY THE HIGHEST PEAKS WILL SEE SNOW. NBM PROBABILITIES ARE MORE PESSIMISTIC ABOUT QPF WITH A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF A QUARTER INCH IN THE CASCADES AND MUCH LOWER CHANCE ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH LOWER TO MID 70S IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN, THOUGH INCREASING CLOUDINESS WILL KEEP CENTRAL OREGON IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S WHILE THE MOUNTAINS ARE IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S. WINDS WILL REACH 10 TO 15 MPH FROM THE WEST IN THE AFTERNOON.
ON SATURDAY, MODELS BRING THE LOW AND TROUGH OVERHEAD THOUGH WITH DIFFERENCES AS TO WHETHER THE SYSTEM WILL BE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN OR CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. EITHER WAY IT WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF RAIN OVER MOST OF THE AREA SATURDAY THEN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS BEGIN DRYING OUT SATURDAY NIGHT. RAIN AMOUNTS ARE LIGHTER WITH UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH IN THE MOUNTAINS AND JUST A FEW HUNDREDTHS IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. MOST OF THE AREA WILL HAVE WESTERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON BUT IT WILL REACH 20 TO 30 MPH IN THE COLUMBIA GORGE AND KITTITAS VALLEY. TEMPERATURES DROP ABOUT 5 DEGREES TO THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN AND MAINLY IN THE 50S ELSEWHERE.
BY SUNDAY, 82 PERCENT OF THE MODEL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS HAVE THE TROUGH DIVING INTO SOUTHERN NEVADA OR UTAH. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS LINGERS IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS THOUGH AMOUNTS ARE JUST A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. WITH LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTHWEST AND HIGHER PRESSURE OFFSHORE, THE AREA WILL GET STRONGER WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH IN MOST OF THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND 25 TO 35 MPH IN THE KITTITAS VALLEY. TEMPERATURES ARE A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER THAN SATURDAY.
MONDAY LOOKS LIKE A DRY AND WARMER DAY AS A RIDGE BUILDS OFFSHORE WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES REMAINING IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN AND WARMING SEVERAL DEGREES TO THE MID 60S TO MID 70S IN THE MOUNTAINS. WINDS ARE LIGHTER, BUT STILL FROM THE WEST REACHING 15 TO 20 MPH IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN AND KITTITAS VALLEY. TUESDAY LOOKS SIMILAR BUT DUE TO THE MINORITY VIEW OF MOUNTAIN SHOWERS, HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ARE A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER THAN MONDAY. PERRY/83
