Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 315 AM PDT Thu Apr 2 2020

SYNOPSIS. A cool and unsettled pattern continues Thursday as a trough of low pressure moves across the area. Friday and Saturday sees a lower chance for showers as the storm track passes by the region to the west and south. Dry weather may return early next week, but it's far from certain.

SHORT TERM. Today through Saturday . Showers have been few and far between overnight as an upper shortwave trough departs to the southeast. However more showers are on the way today with the next upper short wave. Cloud top temperatures off the WA coast around -10C which is about 8000 ft in this environment. Showers will increase during the morning and continue into the afternoon, then wane this evening as the shortwave departs. Will likely have snow down to the 2000-2500 ft level with 1-2 inches accumulation for today and tonight. Cooler air mass follows overnight with 850 mb temperatures down to -6C to -7C late tonight. Snow levels will drop to near 500-1000 ft but moisture appears to be limited with the approach of the next shortwave. Still though, may see some wet snow flakes Friday early morning. Almost a repeat of today, showers will increase through the day Friday, then wane in the evening.

The upper pattern begins to change a little on Saturday as a stronger upper trough arriving from the north Pacific will begin carve out a deeper trough off the west coast. Saturday should be generally dry though especially in the northern zones, but light precipitation will probably reach the southern tier of the CWA as the upper trough slides into northern CA. /mh

LONG TERM. Saturday night through Thursday . Complex upper pattern continues to evolve through the weekend. Deterministic GFS and ECMWF in decent agreement showing a longwave upper trough deepening of the west coast as additional shortwave energy to track south off the coast before moving inland to the south, most likely across California. The presence of the longwave trough suggests at least some chance of showers persists through the weekend, but probably the better chance for showers comes late in the weekend as models open up a southerly flow aloft allowing better moisture to spread north. While models have continued to struggle with the general pattern late in the period, there is a trend in the models early next week, suggesting ridging potentially building in, lessening the chances for showers again Monday and Tuesday. Deterministic GFS and ECMWF from 00Z in some agreement with dry weather as split flow over the region or light onshore flow. However 00Z ECMWF ensemble members are show potential for a wetter pattern developing Wednesday and Thursday. /mh

AVIATION. Cool northwesterly flow aloft will continue today. Weak upper level disturbance off the Washington coast will push inland today. As it does, air mass will become unstable this am, with scattered showers increasing. Overall, VFR with patchy fog early this am, with areas of MVFR cigs between through 18Z. Afterwards, mix of MVFR and VFR, though trending towards more and more VFR as afternoon progresses. Higher terrain frequently obscured through 20Z, with Cascades often obscured through 02Z.

PDX AND APPROACHES . Mix of VFR and MVFR this am, though MVFR more likely between 12Z and 18Z. Showers will be increasing this am, as weak disturbance aloft pushes inland. Showers gradually decreasing this afternoon, with VFR conditions. /Rockey

MARINE. Not much in way of changes. North to northwesterly winds 15 kt or less will continue for next few days. Seas mostly in the 6 to 7 ft range this am, but these will drop back to 5 to 6 ft this afternoon and tonight.

Not much change in the pattern through this weekend, as higher pressure sits offshore, with weak thermal low pressure over northwest California. This will maintain northerly winds to 10 to 15 kt. Seas stay in the 4 to 6 ft range.

PQR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. OR . None. WA . None. PZ . None.
