Fxus66 kpdt 201520 afdpdt area forecast discussion national weather service pendleton or 820 am pdt Tue aug 20 2019 Short term Today and tonight... One more day under a ridge of high pressure which will provide warmer then normal temperatures and mostly clear skies today. Will start to see some increasing clouds overnight from an approaching upper level trough that will push a cold front through the forecast area on Wednesday. This cloud cover will help provide warmer than normal temperatures for overnight too. Overall winds will be light with just some usual breezy conditions through the columbia river gorge this afternoon. Prev discussion issued 310 am pdt Tue aug 20 2019 short term... Today through Thursday night... Sw flow aloft will be over the area for one more day resulting in hot afternoon temperatures under mostly clear skies. High temperatures will be in the 90s with 80s in the mountains. An upper level trough will approach the area Wednesday and swing across the region Wednesday night. This will move a strong cold front across the forecast area late in the day into the evening. Main impacts from this front will be a burst of gusty winds and a few rain showers. Winds could gust in excess of 30 mph with the front and perhaps a bit stronger in a few locations. However do not think there will be a prolonged wind advisory event. Models are trending a little wetter with the front and have at least some chance of showers over the entire forecast area. QPF amounts look light. Airmass does not appear to be supportive of thunderstorms so have left mention of thunder out of the forecast. By Thursday the upper trough is east of the area and a cool northwest flow aloft takes over. Highs on Thursday will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s in the lower elevations with upper 60s to mid 70s in the mountains. It will be cool Thursday night with lows 50-55 in the lower elevations and upper 30s to mid 40s mountains and high plateaus. 78 long term... Friday through Tuesday... Models in good agreement

through Sunday, but begin to diverge thereafter. Dry northwest flow aloft will continue at least into Sunday. Some weak embedded shortwaves in the northwest flow will produce a short-lived increase in cloud cover. Otherwise, the tranquil weather will continue. By Sunday night, the new run of the ECMWF shows an upper level low diving out of bc and clipping our northeast CWA by Tuesday. Meanwhile, the GFS continues the dry, west to northwest flow aloft. At this time, will lean towards the more persistent GFS solution and keep the weather dry. Daytime temperatures will remain near to slightly above normal through the period. Earle aviation... 12z tafs... .Vfr conditions are expected through the period with only thin cirrus moving through the area. Winds will generally be 10 kts or less with higher gusts possible during the afternoon, except kdls will increase to 12-16 kts by afternoon with higher gusts. Winds will decrease overnight to less than 8 kts.

I have no idea of they are useful or accurate, I leave that to the reader. 2) Articles others have written and submitted. If you have questions on these, please contact the author. 3) Articles that represent my personal opinions. These are intended to promote thought and for entertainment. 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.
