Fxus66 kpdt 171553 aaa afdpdt area forecast discussion... Updated aviation national weather service pendleton or 855 am pdt Sat aug 17 2019 Update A weak disturbance will track to our north but some mid and high level clouds will pass through the region today. Otherwise the dry conditions will continue and afternoon high temps are forecast to climb into the 80s with 70s in the mountains. Aviation 18z tafs...VFR conditions will prevail for the next 24 hours. Scattered cirrus clouds will be prevalent across southern wa northern or through this evening, otherwise mostly clear skies can be expected. Winds will be lighter than yesterday, with most locations remaining 12 kt or less. Dls will experience winds of 12-18 kt with gusts to 25 kt through this evening. Prev discussion issued 210 am pdt Sat aug 17 2019 short term... Today through Monday night... A northwest flow will prevail over the region and the forecast area today and tonight with an upper trough over the northern rockies and a high pressure system over the pacific, about 950 miles off the oregon coast. This will keep dry and stable conditions over the forecast area. Temperatures today will be similar to Friday with maximum readings a little below normal due to the cooler northwest flow. High temperatures today will be in the mid to upper 80s in the lower elevations and mostly 70s in the mountains. These are just a couple degrees below normal. The flow will then back and become more westerly and eventually southwest by Sunday and Monday. Even though a southwest flow usually means more instability and increasing moisture, there just is not that much moisture to be pulled into the pacnw. As a result conditions will remain dry. However, it will be a little warmer due to the flow having a more southern origin. Temperatures will rise back to become slightly above normal with MAX readings in the upper 80s to around 90 by Sunday and Monday in the lower elevations and in the mid 70s to mid 80s mountains. Precipitation is not expected anywhere in the forecast area through the entire short term forecast

period (through Monday night). It will become locally breezy in the afternoons and evenings through the cascade gaps and the eastern columbia river gorge. Elsewhere winds will be mostly diurnally terrain driven. 88 long term... Tuesday through Friday... A southwesterly flow aloft with dry weather and hot temps to start the long term, climbing into the upper 80s to mid upper 90s for Tuesday and Wednesday. Models begin to diverge a bit towards late week, but the overall general trend is for an weakening upper-level trough to swing through the pacnw Thursday, with the flow then turning more zonal to northwest next weekend. Not overly deep moisture push with trough passage and for now only looking for potential of a few mountain showers, mainly over the wa cascades later Wednesday into Thursday, with dry westerly flow out in the columbia basin. Another weak trough could swing through over next weekend, with a few showers possible again for the wa cascades. Cooler, more seasonable temps expected behind the initial trough frontal passage with highs in upper 70s to around 90 on Thursday through Saturday. There will be occasional breezy periods with marine pushes mainly Wednesday and Friday evening... with the strongest wind in the kittitas valley and columbia gorge.

I have no idea of they are useful or accurate, I leave that to the reader. 2) Articles others have written and submitted.

These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
