Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pendleton OR 626 PM PDT Sat Apr 10 2021

UPDATE. Wind advisory was cancelled for the Kittitas Valley and the eastern Columbia Gorge as winds have lessened and the threat for gusts in excess of 45 mph is no longer present. Pretty good depiction of wind evolution with the HREF and this in tandem with obs and trends supported the cancellation of the wind advisory early. Meantime, the latest satellite imagery shows sky cover has decreased over the last two hours across north central OR and south central WA. Elsewhere, sky cover will linger across central OR and the southern Blues to the John Day Highlands overnight. Winds remain gusty at the present time with gusts 25-35 mph common across south central WA, Gorge, Basin, and foothills of the Blues. These winds will lessen this evening becoming light overnight. Otherwise, much cooler air will move in tonight with lows tomorrow 10-20 degrees colder than this morning/last night after today's cold front. Otherwise, fair and dry conditions tomorrow with generally light breezes.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 338 PM PDT Sat Apr 10 2021/

SHORT TERM . Tonight through Monday night . A stiff northwest flow behind a departing cold front will keep cool and windy conditions over the forecast area for this afternoon and early evening. There will be some remnant moisture that will combine with the northwest upslope flow into the northeast mountains early this evening that may cause a few mountain rain/snow showers. Snow levels will be around 1000-2000 feet in the mountains and there may be some minor accumulations from these showers this evening. Light snow showers will also continue over the central WA Cascades in NW Kittitas County. However, these are not expected to produce any additional significant snow accumulation, if any. As a result the Winter Weather Advisory has been cancelled. It will be breezy to windy in most areas this afternoon and evening. Wind advisories are in effect until 7 pm for the eastern Columbia River Gorge and also for the Kittitas Valley. Sunday will be a mostly clear day with slightly warmer temperatures, but the northwest flow will keep temperatures below normal for almost nearly April. Winds will also be much lighter. On Monday, a back door cold front with an upper trough will dig southwest into the PacNW. This will eventually form a closed upper low pressure system over the western USA. The circulation around this low will cause winds and the flow to become northeasterly. There could be a few isolated wrap around showers that work their way into the extreme northeast mountains. 88

LONG TERM . Winds will increase on Tuesday as this flow becomes stronger. The wind combined with dry conditions may lead to patchy blowing dust in the Columbia Basin. At this time, winds on Tuesday are expected stay below advisory speeds. Most of the extended period will be dry with a large upper low pressure system settling over the Great Basin beginning on Tuesday continuing through Thursday as it slowly drifts southeastward. This will cause it to have an increasingly less influence on the forecast area. However, it will keep conditions on the cool side. A warming trend will begin on Thursday, with temperatures rising back to normal, and then a little above normal by the weekend. The ensemble forecasts are similar to the deterministic models with not too much divergence between them until about Thursday and then the models begin to diverge from each other. The NBM has been fairly consistent and will lean toward that solution during most of the extended forecast. A stronger warming trend will take place on Friday and Saturday with continued dry conditions as the upper low over the western USA weakens. However, confidence in the forecast rapidly decreases after Thursday due to model differences and therefore increased uncertainty. 88

AVIATION . 00Z TAFs . VFR conditions expected through the period with skies sct-bkn 4-8kft this evening. Mountain showers continue but will diminish this evening. A few showers could approach ALW/PDT. Winds 15-25g25-35kts through early evening, but decrease tonight and become light and variable by tomorrow morning, then becoming northerly 4-8kts tomorrow afternoon. Skies clear later this evening and remain so through tomorrow.
