Updated Aviation Discussion
UPDATE. Little change to this morning's forecast package. Today, the focus will be on the mild to moderate fire weather setup this afternoon and early evening, with low relative humidities in the eastern Columbia Gorge and in the Basin. A red flag warning has been issued for these regions. Winds will be increasing this afternoon ahead of an approaching upper level trough and dry surface cold front, with winds decreasing overnight. The approaching weather system will bring showers to along the WA Cascades this evening, but, expect conditions will be unfavorable for any shower/storm development across the rest of the forecast area today.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 146 AM PDT Sat Jul 11 2020/
SHORT TERM . Today through Monday . A ridge of high pressure will be over the region today but an approaching upper level trough will begin to push the ridge eastward. This will result in a break down of the ridge leading to increasing westerly winds this afternoon and evening associated with a dry cold frontal passage overnight. The trough will pass over the region on Sunday with cooler yet still breezy conditions. Only area that could see a few showers out this system will be along the crest of the WA Cascades. Region will be under a cool dry northwest flow on Monday as the trough exits to the east.
LONG TERM . Tuesday through Saturday . A dry and stable northwest flow aloft will prevail from Tuesday through at least Thursday. It will be mostly clear with light winds and a warming trend. The models then diverge from each other by late Thursday with the GFS and Canadian model continuing to keep a dry northwest flow over the region while the ECMWF tries to dig a trough over the region. Decided to go with the consensus of the GFS and Canadian and keep conditions dry with a west to northwest flow through the rest of the extended period . though there could be a few light showers over the central WA Cascades as weak weather disturbances clip the northern CWA. Temperatures will continue to be on a warning trend through Saturday. Temperatures will be mostly in the 80s on Tuesday warming to the 90s by Friday and Saturday in the lower elevations and about 10 degrees cooler in the mountains. 88
AVIATION . 18Z TAFs . VFR conditions through the period. A mainly dry cold front will be crossing the area late this afternoon and overnight with clouds few-sct 080-100kft. Main impact for aviation will be strong winds 15-20kt by 21z and 20-30kt from 00-06z. Winds will decrease to 10-20kts after 06z. 93
FIRE WEATHER . A Red Flag Warning is in effect from noon until 10 PM this evening for the Lower Columbia Basin for windy and low RH conditions. An approaching upper level trough will cause a break down of the high pressure with a cold frontal passage late today. Winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts in the 30s will be likely combined with humidities down around 15 to 20 percent across fire zones 641 and 675.

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. |
