      (on/off)   Help   NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition

Fxus66 kpdt 222329 aaa afdpdt area forecast discussion national weather service pendleton or 430 pm pdt Tue oct 22 2019 updated aviation discussion Short term Tonight through Friday... An upper level ridge of high pressure will build and intensify over the next couple of days off the coast before moving inland Thursday. This will place the forecast area under a dry northwest flow through Wednesday. Then the ridge will pass over the region Thursday and into Friday before the next cold front is expected late Friday but with limited precipitation. Breezy winds this evening will decrease and become light until the next cold front on Friday. Long term Friday night through Tuesday... Friday night and Saturday a cold front and trough will cross the area. Most of the energy will be north of us but it will bring a chance of light showers along the cascades Friday night and over northeast oregon Friday night and Saturday. The main impacts will be breezy 15 to 25 mph winds Friday night and much colder air arriving behind the front on Saturday. Temperatures Saturday will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than on Friday with 50s in the lower elevations and in the 40s in the mountains. Snow levels will drop from 8000-9000 feet Friday evening to 3500-4500 feet by Saturday afternoon. Since precipitation will be very limited on Saturday, do not expect any significant snow fall. The trough will leave the area Saturday night and a dry northerly flow will be over the area Sunday through Monday. This should be a quiet period with no precipitation. However temperatures will be even cooler with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s in the lower elevations and in the upper 30s and 40s in the mountains. Lows will be in the mid 20s to lower 30s with mid teens to mid 20s in the mountains. Models diverge Monday night and Tuesday with the gfs

bringing an offshore ridge over the area while the ECMWF brings a low and backdoor cold front out of saskatchewan to brush the eastern portion of the area. Both scenarios would keep us dry. However, the gfs would warm us up a few degrees and the ECMWF would drop our temperatures a few more degrees. Leaned towards the cooler ECMWF as it had more support from the canadian model and the nbm. So Tuesday would be in the mid to upper 40s in the lower elevations and in the mid 30s to mid 40s in the mountains. Perry Aviation 00z tafs...VFR conditions will prevail through the next 24 hours. Sct-bkn high level cirrus will be decreasing late tonight as northwest flow remains over the area. Winds will be decreasing this evening and will remain generally under 10kt through the rest of the period. 93 Preliminary point temps pops Pdt 39 59 35 63 0 0 0 0 alw 41 58 38 62 0 0 0 0 psc 41 62 37 63 0 0 0 0 ykm 35 60 36 61 0 0 0 0 hri 39 62 36 63 0 0 0 0 eln 34 59 35 61 0 0 0 0 rdm 30 61 29 68 0 0 0 0 lgd 37 56 30 58 0 0 0 0 gcd 36 55 33 63 0 0 0 0 dls 41 62 39 64 0 0 0 0 Pdt watches warnings advisories Or...

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.
