Area Forecast Discussion...Updated National Weather Service Portland OR 1105 AM PST Mon Feb 17 2025
Updated Aviation
SYNOPSIS
A low pressure system maintains widespread rain and Cascade snow today. Heavy snow and hazardous travel is expected for the Cascade passes through this afternoon. Milder temperatures continue through the week, with another weather system arriving later Tuesday into Wednesday. Likely trending drier and warmer later this week, but potential for heavier rain returns for the weekend.
SHORT TERM
Now through Wednesday Night...Moist onshore flow continues to maintain rain showers over the area and accumulating snow in the Cascades. With snow levels around 3500-4000 ft today, expect an additional about 0.5 to 1 ft more of snow within the Cascades until this evening. Aided by a shortwave trough moving over the region today, expect snowfall rates of 0.5 to 1.0 inch per hour at times until this evening for the Cascade passes. As a result, will maintain the Winter Storm Warning for the SW Washington and NW Oregon Cascades until 4 PM this afternoon. Those traveling through the Cascades should prepare for winter weather and refer to ODOT/WSDOT for the latest road conditions and restrictions.
Furthermore, the Upper Hood River Valley will likely see some freezing rain accumulation around 0.05 to 0.10 inch this morning until 10 AM, specifically for areas above 1000 ft in elevation.
With expected accumulations and concern for slippery roads and sidewalks, have issued a Winter Weather Advisory until 10 AM this morning for areas above 1000 ft, such as Parkdale.
For areas west of the Cascades, expect rainy weather to continue today, becoming showery by the evening and dissipating overnight into early Tuesday morning. Expect an additional 0.25 inch of rain along the coast and within the Willamette Valley until 10 PM tonight. As for the Coast Range and Cascade foothills, an additional 0.50 to 0.75 inch of rainfall is expected. Although rivers are on the rise, there are still no hydro impacts expected. Could see some patchy fog or low stratus early Tuesday morning as showers and cloud cover dissipates. By Tuesday afternoon, offshore winds will increase and temperatures will increase into the low 50s.
Another frontal system will arrive between Tuesday afternoon and evening, pushing snow levels back to over 5000 ft and bringing snow to the Cascades and widespread rain west of the Cascades.
From Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, there is around a 30-50% chance for a wintry mix of snow/sleet returning to the Upper Hood River Valley as temperatures are forecast to cool to around 30-34 degrees. Additionally, NBM does suggest a 10-20% chance of 0.5 inch or more of snow early Wednesday morning for areas within the Upper Hood River Valley, such as Odell and Parkdale.
This Tuesday into Wednesday weather system will need to be monitored as there is a potential for a stronger low spinning up near the coastline and moving northeast into the region. Latest models suggest this low to deepen to around 995 mb, bringing a 10-20% chance of wind gusts up to 50 mph along the coast.
Inland, more rain and Cascade snow is expected until early Thursday morning. ~Hall
LONG TERM
Thursday through Sunday...Models and their ensembles are in good agreement later this week of upper level ridging building over the region. Most clusters keep the area dry much of Thursday and Friday, although there is around a 20-30% chance that a front is able to push rain back into southwest Washington and far NW Oregon by Friday afternoon. Temperatures are likely to continue the gradual warming trend into the mid to upper 50s into the weekend. The next weather system that brings more rain to the Pacific NW over the weekend will likely be associated with a weak to moderate atmospheric river. The European Ensemble suggests average PWAT amounts around 1 inch, with some members showing up to 2 inches within 24 hours possible. The GFS Ensemble shows slightly lower average PWAT amounts around 0.75 inch, with some members showing up to 1.5 inches within 24 hours possible. Uncertainty with where the band of heavier moisture sets up leads to this variation of expected total precipitation.
~Hall/DH
AVIATION
Showers continue a mix of MVFR and IFR conditions this morning. Decreasing showers will bring a mix of VFR and MVFR conditions this afternoon. Light SW winds across most of the area will become southerly and weaken this afternoon. Calm winds and lingering surface moisture will likely lead to fog and IFR conditions along the coast and the inland valleys tonight into Tuesday morning. There is around a 30-50% chance of IFR for the Willamette Valley tonight with higher chances (~90%) for IFR along the coast.
PDX AND APPROACHES...Showers will decrease this afternoon and evening. Winds will remain light with easterly winds this morning and tonight with possibly a brief period of south winds this afternoon.There is a 30% chance for IFR conditions developing around 10 pm tonight, then a 60% chance for IFR conditions after 2 am Tuesday morning. Flight conditions should improve to MVFR late Tuesday morning, then VFR late Tuesday afternoon. ~TJ
MARINE
Southwesterly winds will gradually weaken today, with gusts falling below 20 kt. However, seas will increase today around 12 to 14 feet at 15 seconds due to an incoming westerly swell. High pressure will continue the brief lull in winds Monday night to Tuesday with seas subsiding to 9 to 10 feet at 12 seconds.
Another frontal system arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, bringing another round of increased winds and building seas. Confidence is increasing for gale force southerly wind gusts up to 40 kt in the outer waters (10 to 60 NM out) and up to 35 kt over the inner waters (out 10 NM). Will note that there is also a 30-50% chance for isolated storm force wind gusts up to 50 kt across the outer waters. Due to greater confidence in gale force gusts in the outer waters, a Gale Watch has been issued for these marine zones (PZZ271-273) beginning 4 PM Tuesday and lasting through 10 AM Wednesday. Predominately wind-driven seas will also build during this time, around 12 to 15 feet at 14 seconds.-Alviz
BEACH HAZARDS
A westerly swell of 12-14 ft at 15 seconds will result in an increased threat for sneaker waves along all coastal beaches today. Therefore, the Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through 4 PM Monday. Beachgoers should remain vigilant for waves occasionally running up much farther onto the beach than background wave conditions. Stay off of rocks, jetties and logs.
Never turn your back on the ocean. -Alviz/TK
