427 FXUS66 KSEW 042200 AFDSEW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Seattle WA 300 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front continues to push east, with decreasing showers. However, a convergence zone is expected to develop after the frontal passage bring the opportunity of lingering showers. High pressure builds this weekend bringing slightly warmer temperatures. Rain chances return by the middle of next week. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...The cold front has pushed through Western Washington and is currently pushing eastward. Much of the widespread precipitation has dissipated with the frontal passage, but a few isolated showers can still be seen on radar moving into Western Washington, especially a few cells near the coast with the potential of a lightning strike or two. With the cold front having pushed eastward, a Puget Sound Convergence Zone is expected to develop over Snohomish County later this afternoon bringing the a small chance of thunderstorms. Precipitation chances will wane to 10-20% into the late evening, with higher chances of 50-60% over the Cascades. Temperatures are expected to rebound this weekend along the interior areas as a surface high pressure settles over Washington this weekend. Expect temperatures to reach the upper 60s to low 70s along these areas. High pressure is expected to start moving eastward Monday morning as a weak cold front begins to move eastward, opening the opportunity for rain again during the afternoon for northwest Washington. Accumulations should not be impactful as they will remain under 0.25 in. .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...Some uncertainty exists whether rain will persist throughout the rest of the week. Ensemble guidance shows an upper level ridge redeveloping over the Rockies. However, there is some uncertainty on the future location of the ridge. There is general agreement through Tuesday that the ridge axis will remain east of the area, leading to southwest flow to dominate. The majority of ensemble solutions favor the ridge to remain to the east allowing the opportunity for rain to persist throughout the rest of the week. However, a small group of members favor the ridge axis to build westward, keeping the upper level trough offshore and hindering rain potential in the area. If there is any precipitation that does make into the area, no significant weather impacts are expected. Temperatures expected to remain near normal throughout the week. MGF && .AVIATION...The cold front has now pass through western Washington, leaving isolated showers across the region. The cloud deck as transitioned to a cumulus field, with the exception being over the convergence zone spanning north King through Snohomish counties. Ceilings are largely VFR to the north and western parts of the area, while the Puget Sound and Southwest Interior hold on to MVFR to IFR ceilings with the convergence zone. Decreasing clouds across the area will allow VFR conditions to prevail for most tonight, with the exception being with the convergence zone, which will remain centered over Snohomish County. It will slowly drift southward and dissipate late this evening, allowing for PAE and BFI to hold onto MVFR/IFR conditions through this evening. Rapid cooling this evening with mostly clear skies should allow some fog to develop, particularly affecting the fog-prone terminals (such as OLM and PWT) Saturday morning. Mid to high level cloud cover over the northern half of the region will keep conditions VFR on Saturday. Southwest winds peaking this afternoon will gently decrease through this evening. Winds will become light and variable by early tomorrow morning, then becoming northerly 4 to 6 kt tomorrow. KSEA...VFR conditions with scattered clouds and a convergence zone to the north of the terminal. Breezy southwesterly winds 15 kt gusting to 30 kt. Winds will slowly ease this evening, becoming light southwesterly by early this morning. The convergence zone will drift east/southeast this evening but should remain to the northeast of the terminal. There is the potential for some fog tomorrow morning, will have to see how much clearing occurs and if fog is able to develop and move into the proximity of the terminal. Winds will subside and become light by early tomorrow morning, then switching to northerly around 18Z Saturday up 4-6 kt. LH && .MARINE...A cold front has passed through the coastal waters this morning with a few isolated showers remaining, which will slowly taper off tonight. Winds will veer to become westerly this afternoon into tonight. Winds may be a bit breezy down the Strait of Juan de Fuca this afternoon with occasional gusts reaching 20-30 kt, but should mostly be confined to the Canadian portion of the Strait, and the trend will be for the winds to diminish tonight. All hazards have been cancelled. High pressure will build into the area from the southwest through the weekend with the next frontal system will slowly move across the area Monday and Tuesday. Seas currently 5 to 6 ft will build up to around 7 to 9 ft this evening, with the highest waves through the northern coastal waters. Seas will drop to 4 to 5 ft Saturday night through Sunday, then coming back up to 7 to 8 ft early next week as waves generated from a low pressure system in the north central Pacific arrive to the region. LH && .SEW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WA...None. PZ...None. && $$ 035 FXUS66 KPQR 042155 AFDPQR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 255 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A fast moving cold front continues to push through the area just over the Cascades, bringing post-frontal showers until late tonight. Clouds will clear thereafter, resulting in fog and low clouds until Saturday morning. High pressure will build through the weekend, bringing mild days with cool nights Saturday through Monday. Following, gradually cooling and increasing chance of precipitation through next week. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)...Narrow and fast moving upper trough continues to move eastward over the Cascades, leaving behind post-frontal showers. As of 3PM Friday, the coast and coast range has received 0.50in to 0.75in of rain accumulation, with 0.25in to 0.50in from the interior valley to the Cascades. Expect a few more hours of rainfall over the Cascades to increase the total accumulation to near 0.75in. Only exception are for the areas south of Santiam Pass and Salem, with only rain accumulation around 0.10in to 0.25in. Snow levels continue to lower towards 5-6K ft as the front passes, which could bring a few inches of snow to high elevated areas. With clouds and showers expected to clear out by this evening, overnight temperatures are expected to fall back into the upper 30s to mid 40s. These temperatures paired with wet ground and light winds, fog and low clouds are expected to form tonight and linger until tomorrow morning. Considering the time of year, dense fog may be possible down the I-5 corridor and into the valleys of the Coast Range and Willapa Hills. For the Upper Hood River Valley, fog/low cloud development is less likely, resulting in colder temperatures around 34F to 38F. Meeting the criteria for potential frost, a Frost Advisory has been issued from 2AM to 9AM Saturday for the Upper Hood River Valley, with areas around Parkdale and Dee Flat expected to experience the coldest temperatures. Saturday and Sunday, low level flow will turn more northerly to northeasterly, maintaining mild afternoon temperatures. Inland will be a bit warmer compared to today, so fog/low clouds will be less likely. Overnight temps are expected to trend warmer, sitting in the upper 30s to low 40s Saturday night and low to mid 40s Sunday night. ~Hall && .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday)...High pressure is expected to build back over the region this weekend and into early next week, resulting in seasonable and dry conditions through Monday. Cluster analysis and model ensembles indicate there is around a 40% chance that the next frontal system brings rain back to the area by Tuesday night into Wednesday and the other 60% suggesting rain late Wednesday. Uncertainty in timing and details of the forecast continues through late next week, but overall upper level pattern remains fairly consistent with troughing to the west over the Pacific and ridging to the east over the Rockies, leaving the Pacific NW under southwest flow. ~Hall/DH && .AVIATION...A cold front continues to move through the region, supporting cloud cover but rain is starting to taper off for the most part. A few lingering showers will be possible into the evening but will remain localized. Cloud cover will begin to break up behind the front as winds shift to the north. Concern quickly shifts to fog formation due to light winds, clearing skies, and ample surface moisture tonight into Saturday morning. Moderate to high confidence(70-90%) for fog formation (locally <0.5 mile vis) at HIO, UAO, SLE, and EUG beginning 05-09z, with slightly lower confidence (40-50%) and later timing at PDX, and TTD. Fog that develops is expected to dissipate by mid/late morning (16-18Z), VFR conditions will then prevail through the day under mostly clear skies and light northerly winds less than 10 kts throughout the area. PDX APPROACHES...MVFR conditions will persist into the afternoon/evening as a cold front continues to move through the area. Rain has tapered off, though a few light showers are possible into the evening. After a period of clearing/VFR conditions in the evening, fog formation becomes a significant concern later tonight although confidence in formation is moderate (40-50%) at PDX locally. Currently thinking formation between 08-12z Saturday, dissipating by 17-18Z. -Batz && .MARINE...With the passage of a cold front earlier today, conditions are expected to remain rather benign into next week. Winds are beginning to turn more westerly behind the front which is evident in obs from bouy 46041 off of Cape Elizabeth, WA. Winds near bouy 46029 are southwesterly while 46050 remains southerly, both of which will eventually be westerly this evening. Seas across PZZ271 have underperformed, generally 4-6 feet when seas around 10 feet were expected. Due to lower wave heights and expecting them to continue to decrease, have decided to drop the Small Craft Advisory. A ridge of builds over the region Saturday into Sunday leading to a return of northerly winds across the waters but the probability for gusts exceeding 21-22 knots is very low, only around 5-10% during this period. We continue to watch another potential trough of low pressure in the Monday night through Tuesday timeframe although confidence in the exact timing and impacts are only moderate but most of the energy with this disturbance appears to holds to our north at this time. -Batz/Schuldt && .PQR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Behind the front, patchy IFR is expected at the coast north of Cape Blanco, into the Coquille and lower Umpqua valleys from around 04Z this evening through 18Z Saturday morning. Other inland areas will stay VFR through Saturday. -DW && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 228 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024/ DISCUSSION...A strong, but decaying front is pushing through the region today. The main impact with this front is strong west to southwest winds out ahead of it. Surface observations show wind gusts in the 25 to 30 mph range is common across northern California and east of the Cascades. The strongest winds so far are gusting to 40 to 45 mph across the high terrain of Lake County. Even in the absence of surface observations, the dust plume coming off Summer Lake in Lake County would be enough to say there are strong winds over there. This dust could reduce visibilities at times along Highway 395 this afternoon. A look at webcams in that area does show the dust being lofted into the air, but ODOT webcam on Highway 395 doesn`t show any reductions to visibilities at this time. It`ll be something that needs to be monitored until the winds ease this evening. There is a Wind Advisory in effect for portions of Lake County through this evening, and details can be found at NPWMFR. The other concern with these strong winds is the low relative humidities expected this afternoon. The combination of the two will lead to critical fire weather concerns for much of the East Side, and details can be found in the fire weather discussion below. Radar does show a weakening band of precipitation moving inland at this time, but we don`t expect rain to make it much farther inland than Roseburg. Even then, amounts are expected to be fairly light with only a few hundreths recorded so far along the coast and into western Douglas County. Otherwise, afternoon temperatures will trend slightly cooler today, most notable north of the Rogue-Umpqua Divide. For the remainder of the area, instead of high temperatures reaching 10 to 15 degrees above normal, they will peak around 5 to 10 degrees above normal today (low 80s (upper 70s) West (East) Side). Today will largely be a hiccup in the overall pattern and trend of dry conditions with seasonably cool mornings that warm up to late summer like temperatures. High pressure quickly returns on Saturday, and once lingering cloud cover dissipates later in the morning, dry and warm conditions will return. It`ll be another breezy day across the region, especially east of the Cascades, but not as strong as today. 700 mb winds today are maxing out around 35 to 45 kt, while 700 mb winds are more along the lines of 25 to 35 mph. Winds will trend weaker on Sunday, and above normal temperatures will continue through at least mid-week next week. Through then, the daily weather pattern will generally be rinse and repeat. The next blip in the pattern comes Tuesday as a weak shortwave trough passes through the region. There could be a weak front associated with this trough, which would once again bring some slight chances of light precipitation to the coast, but models are in good agreement that much of the region will remain dry. Temperatures will trend cooler on Tuesday, and this looks like the start of an overall cooling trend that could continue through the end of the week. The question comes to any precipitation chances for the latter half of the week. Models generally agree on a trough pattern Thursday into Saturday, but there are differences in timing and any associated moisture. Precipitation chances have trended downward with recent model runs, now showing around a 30-40% chance across the region on Friday. Looking into the ensembles, confidence is higher for coastal locations to see some rain during this time, but that confidence decreases heading inland. The EC and it`s ensembles are the least optimistic in terms of precipitation chances for inland locations, with the GFS and it`s ensembles are in better agreement. At this time, if precipitation does occur, it doesn`t look to be much with a 30-50% chance for 0.10" over a 48 hour period ending Saturday morning for areas west of the Cascades, and a 15-30% chance for areas east of the Cascades. Stay tuned as details become more clear over the coming days. /BR-y MARINE...Updated 200 PM PDT Friday, October 4, 2024...Seas will mostly remain below advisory conditions through the forecast period. Northerly winds will develop this weekend over area waters but the sea state does not look to change. Current guidance does show occasional areas of steep seas south of Pistol River and between 10 and 40 nm from shore, but not with enough consistency to issue any products. Long period swell will arrive in area waters early Monday morning, increasing surf and breaking action around bars. This swell will persist through the middle of next week, and does not look to build any advisory-level seas. -TAD FIRE WEATHER...Issued 200 PM Friday October 4, 2024...The main concern today is strong winds and low relative humidity east of the Cascades and the Red Flag Warnings for those areas remains in effect until 8 pm pdt this evening. Surface observations are already showing winds increasing east ofthe Cascades with a few location like Timber Mountain, Juniper Creek and Devils Garden already hitting Red Flag conditions due to winds and low humidity. Satellite image also shows mountain wave cloud formation as the front pushes inland which is typically an indicator of strong winds aloft. The stronger winds aloft will have a good chance to reach near or at the surface this afternoon. Precipitation, if any will be mainly confined to Fire Zones 615, 616, and northern 617 into early this evening, otherwise we`ll remain dry with the best chance and higher precipitation amounts remaining north of our area. In addition, conditions are beginning to reach Red Flag conditions in portions of Fire Zone 622 and with still 3-4 more hours of mixing, it`s becoming more likely Red Flag conditions will be met and a Red Flag Warning has been issued for portions of Fire Zone 622. Winds will drop off pretty quickly early this evening as the mixing heights decrease and low level inversion takes over. Skies will likely be clear and this will allow temperatures to drop off pretty quickly given how low the surface dewpoints will be. This should result in pretty good overnight recoveries for most locations, especially in the valley bottoms. Meanwhile mid slopes and ridges could experience moderate overnight recoveries. After today, no Fire weather concerns are expected. However, on Saturday, there is a low level jet that will move into the area resulting in moderate winds east of the Cascades that could result in brief periods of critical conditions in fire zones 624, 625 and 285 Saturday afternoon. Humidity`s in these areas will be similar to today, but the winds are not expected to be as strong. As such, we`ll headline the winds and low relative humidity for east of the Cascades Saturday afternoon. Dry weather is likely Saturday into at least the middle of next week. Looking out further into next week, there`s some evidence suggesting the upper ridge shifting east with an upper troughing approaching the Pac NW towards the middle of next week. The flow aloft will be from the southwest and the operational models hint at a front approaching our area. However, the front will be nearly parallel to the upper flow. In this type of situation, the front will basically will have little or no southeastward progression into our area, thus odds are it will remain dry. There will be some cooling for the interior, but afternoon temperatures will still be above normal. The combination of clusters, ensemble means (ECMWF and GFS), and operational models show more pronounced upper troughing over our area towards the end of next week, leading to an increased chance of precipitation and cooler temperatures. -Petrucelli && .MFR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Temperatures increase again in the interior this weekend. && .DISCUSSION...High pressure continues to weaken as an upper-level trough approaches the area. High temperatures are broadly forecast to decrease by a few degrees today, with most interior valleys seeing low to mid 90s. Gustier westerly winds have been observed in gap and valley terrain along with exposed west facing ridges at higher altitudes. Weaverville has had gusts up to 20 with nearby Trinity Camp RAWS showing 24 mph max so far. Gusty winds in Lake county at the county line and Konocti have been observed at 18 - 22 mph. Low RH values in Trinity county are a concern with gusts hastening the situation, a Red Flag has been considered but most of the focus has been on Lake county for today as conditions in southern Lake are fire weather critical. A Red Flag Warning has been issued in Lake County for this combination of very dry conditions and the uptick in wind. Temperatures rebound again this weekend as the trough moves out. Most interior valleys will see mid to upper 90s, but the warmest areas of Mendocino and Lake Counties could see triple digits. Temperatures gradually trend downward starting Monday for the remainder of the week, with most areas below 90 by Tuesday and Wednesday. A stronger system moving through the Pacific Northwest late week will bring the potential for rain for our area. NBM shows a 50 to 60 percent chance of a quarter inch of rain in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Trinity Counties, and a 30 to 40 percent chance in Lake and Mendocino counties. Uncertainty on timing, intensity, and position of this system is still high and will become clearer in the coming days. /JB /EYS && .AVIATION...Fair conditions once again prevailed across the region today. The exception again was shallow coastal low cloud and visibility restrictions (LIFR/IFR/MVFR) from late night through mid/late morning; most model guidance had a good handle on the forecast. Light winds continues across the region. At the coast, pockets of haze also continue. Overnight/Saturday morning: shallow moist air at the coast will allow for stratus development and flight concerning visibilities again. Elsewhere, VFR will prevail. /TA && .MARINE...High pressure will gradually build overnight following the passage of the weak frontal boundary. This will cause increasing north winds - primarily near and downwind of Cape Mendocino with wind gusts around 25 kt, give or take 3 kts. Coverage of wind gusts appears insufficient to warrant hoisting another small craft at this time. Short period wave generation per the NWPS, 5 feet or less, will also preclude issuance of another small craft advisory at this time. NW swell that has been spreading into the coastal waters will continue to decay through the weekend. Long period SW around 2 ft will gradually decay over the weekend. Another NW swell group will arrive early next week. DB && .EKA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CA... Red Flag Warning until 8 PM PDT this evening for CAZ264. NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA COASTAL WATERS...

Issued at 200 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Very warm and dry weather continues through the weekend. Temps drop a few degrees today before spiking again tomorrow. Light at the end of the tunnel starting to show early next week. && .SHORT TERM... Issued at 208 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 (This evening through Saturday) Current situation - the southerly surge won out today and brought a welcomed site to Santa Cruz, Monterey/Big Sur Coast, San Francisco, and San Francisco Peninsula Coast. One the surge hit northern Monterey Bay its influence brought onshore flow and much colder temperatures. Stations within San Francisco dropped over 12 degrees in one hour with the onshore flow. As a result, the ongoing Heat Advisory was cancelled for those locations today and tonight. Elsewhere around the Bay Area and Central Coast all heat related hazard products remain the same. Away from any surge/marine influence temperatures soared back into the 80s,90s, and lower 100s. Hottest interior spots reaching 101-106 degrees. Outside of the southerly surge the visible satellite continues to show scattered alto-cu pushing through. Will keep radar in precip, but scattered echoes will still be mainly virga this afternoon. This evening and overnight: The trough of low pressure to the north will continue to ride the periphery of the upper level ridge parked over the four corners region. This passage will allow for moderate offshore flow to develop. The offshore flow will battle against the southerly surge still lingering along the coast. Right at the coast (Golden Gate southward) patchy fog and low clouds will be possible. Some of these clouds may sneak into the Salinas Valley. Elsewhere will remain mostly clear with a few scattered alto-cu. The offshore flow will keep thermal belts active with mild and dry conditions. Lower elevations will see some minor relief, but still mild for early October. There is a brief period late tonight that winds will pick up just a tad over the higher terrain of Santa Cruz, East Bay and Central Coast. Not strong enough for wind advisory, but critical fire weather concerns. See Fire Section below for ongoing Red Flag conditions. Saturday: Generally speaking the day will begin with prevailing offshore flow. As the day progresses, the upper level ridge will build back over the region as the upper trough exits east. Building 500mb heights and offshore will initiate a rebound in temps and higher HeatRisk values. The coastal spots that got dropped from the Heat Adv on Friday will be back in play for Saturday. The one change is San Francisco, which was upgraded to a Excessive Heat Warning for Saturday. There will be a large spread of temps across SF County with 70s at Ocean Beach to low-mid 90s Bayside. All other locations remain unchanged with a mix of Heat Adv and Excessive Heat Warnings. It should be noted that today`s forecast update did increase temperatures a few degrees on Saturday. Simply put, impactful heat will continue to cause issues around the forecast area. && .LONG TERM... Issued at 230 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 (Saturday night through next Thursday) Not expecting much in the way of relief on Sunday at this point as the forecast keeps trending warmer. For example, Santa Rosa and San Jose region have a high likelihood of reaching 100 degrees again. The next shift will evaluate latest HeatRisk values and will likely need to extended heat related hazards into Sunday and possibly Monday. As noted on previous forecasts, the drop in temperatures early next week will be very gradual. Even moreso today as the forecast keeps trending warmer. At this point, the highest confidence for a drop in temperatures and an end to the HeatRisk concerns will be Tuesday and Wednesday. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 443 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 High confidence VFR through the TAF period for all terminals. Onshore winds this evening with winds diminishing overnight and becoming slightly offshore. Wind increase to moderate to slightly breezy and onshore Saturday afternoon. Vicinity of SFO...High confidence continues for VFR through the TAF period. Breezy W/NW winds diminish tonight to moderate and rebuild back to 12 knots by Saturday afternoon. SFO Bridge Approach...Similar to SFO. Monterey Bay Terminals...High confidence that VFR will prevail through the TAF period. There is a southerly surge that might bring some ceilings close to the coast, but confidence is low for any ceilings developing over the terminals. && .MARINE... (Tonight through next Wednesday) Issued at 443 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Gentle to moderate northerly winds will continue through the weekend.

SAFETY TIP: With the warm temperatures continuing into the weekend, beachgoers remember to wear a life jacket, swim near a lifeguard, and never turn your back on the ocean. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 11 AM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024 Given the impressive nocturnal drying event from last night and projected weather through early Saturday decided to issue a Red Flag Warning. This was coordinated with fire partners and neighboring offices. If one were to rank Red Flags this one is on the lower end of RFW conditions. That being said, still critical to warrant a RFW. The fuels have been baking for several days now both day and night. Live Fuel Moisture are also reaching critical levels. Forecasted Energy Release Values (ERC) will remain at critical levels.

Not expecting much improvement today and tonight and will feature another night of poor humidity recovery. Temperatures again will exceed 90 degrees with some local spots hitting 100. Thermal belts remain active tonight with the hills staying mostly above 70 degrees. The last piece, the winds. While not overly strong we`re going to experience bursts of offshore flow as a weak disturbance moves through.

Cooler, dry weather expected behind the earlier cold front. Pockets of frost are possible overnight with areas seeing temperatures near freezing. A more tranquil weather pattern is expected this weekend and most of next week as high pressure builds into the Pacific Northwest. && .DISCUSSION... Tonight through Saturday: The cold front will continue to move through North Idaho before exiting into Montana by 7PM PDT. A ridge pattern will begin to build in to the Pacific Northwest. It will lead to decreasing winds and clearing skies through the night. Overnight lows dip with the cooler air behind the cold front. The lows will be in the 30s and low 40s. Some pockets of frost are possible in the northern valleys and Basin. For Saturday, the ridge will continue to develop in the region and bring dry, calm conditions for the day. Highs will be in the 60s and low 70s. /JDC Saturday through Tuesday: Models are in strong agreement with a strong ridge of high pressure forming in the inner mountain west this weekend in response to a deepening low over the Aleutian islands. Daytime temperatures will be right around normal (60s) Saturday, but by Monday, temperatures will climb in the 70s (5-10F above normal). Expect strong overnight inversions with light winds forecasted and episodes of frost in the cold-prone northeast valleys. Another Aleutian low late next week looks to form but the position has significant weather impacts for us (ex: 20% of the ensemble has an atmospheric river centered in the Pacific Northwest by Friday of next week, while the other 80% of models are mostly dry and stay as warm as the mid-week forecast). /Butler && .AVIATION... 00Z: The region is on the backside of the cold front.

There is a narrow band of cloud cover and light precipitation ahead of the front. Of course, any precipitation in our forecast area will not last long and any rainfall amounts will be very light over the next several hours. Winds have increased with widespread gusts 25-35 mph throughout the Columbia Basin down to Central Oregon as well as the Grande Ronde and John Day Valleys. Winds have stirred up blowing dust this afternoon. So far, no reports of any significant reduction in the visibility with the exception of KLGD. Looking at web cams in the Grande Ronde Valley, the 2-3 mile visibility seems localized to the airport. Red Flag Warnings are in effect until 7 PM for the John Day Basin and John Day-Ochoco Highlands as well as far southeast Washington along the Grande Ronde Valley of Asotin County. The warning was extended to include Central Oregon near Bend, Redmond, and Prineville. Although the RHs have increased in Central Oregon this past hour, RHs fell near the single digits earlier this afternoon as the winds increased which warranted the extension of the Red Flag Warning. Winds will diminish tonight and skies will clear, giving good opportunities to view the aurora borealis...if it decides to make an appearance...with best viewing in Washington. According to Space Weather Prediction, there is a GS watch through October 6. The rest of the short term looks quiet. High pressure will return tomorrow, and the inverted surface thermal trough strengthens some along the Cascades. The thermal trough shifts eastward on Sunday as the upper flow increases more from the southwest. It will be warmer with lower humidity and slightly more unstable conditions on Sunday. However, winds will be relatively light and no critical RH values are anticipated. Looking at LREF ensembles, the probability of RHs falling below 20% is very low with the exception of south central and southeast Oregon with high confidence that minimum RHs will range from 15-20% and moderate confidence for 10-15%. Wister/85 LONG TERM...Monday through Friday... The upper ridge will remain over the PacNW through Wednesday afternoon as it slowly continues moving east from the region. The westerly flow progresses over the forecast area Monday into Tuesday afternoon with fairly light winds at 12 mph or less and dry conditions (>70% confidence). Tuesday through Wednesday, the flow will then change to southwest as a weak cold front makes its way into the area. Due to orographic lifting, showers could occur at the WA/OR Cascades. However, confidence is low due to lack of moisture. Thursday, the ridge starts breaking down as the shortwave trough begins arriving to the PacNW off the OR coast. With increased southwest flow and a cold front, showers could return Thursday night at the WA/OR Cascades, and then across the Foothills including some portions of central OR (15-30% chance). Breezy conditions might also develop at the Kittitas and Yakima valleys including Ochoco-John Day Highlands up to 20 mph. The probability of wind gust>= 17kts is 10- 20% for the valley zones and 30-50% for the Ochoco-John Day Highlands, suggested by NBM. Friday, the shortwave trough will be over the forecast area. As the cold front passes, gusty winds and showers could develop due to orographic lifting and moisture advection (15-30% chance). The probability of 10-m Wind Gust>= 17kts for the WA Cascades, central OR and Foothills will be 30-60%. High temperatures will remain above normal through the period.

The wind gust forecast for today is on track with gusts in the 30-45 mph range in the lower elevations with 50-70 mph winds over ridge lines. Winds start to diminish after 6-8 pm this evening, then turn light overnight. Light mid to late afternoon breezes will surface the next few days with no significant wind impacts. Ensemble solutions continue to produce a 10-15% chance for showers and thunderstorms Sunday and Monday over the Sierra and western NV. This is due to moisture and waves of energy passing overhead between the high pressure system over the Southwest and a strengthening low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska. Dry and warm conditions will hang around with minimal if any cooling the next several days. A piece of the Gulf of Alaska low may break off and drop south into CA and NV late next week. For now this is a low confidence scenario but could lead to cooler temperatures with breezy winds and rain/mountain snow showers. Liquid amounts are not impressive with ensembles producing a 20% chance for more than a 0.10" of liquid in the Sierra next weekend. Brong && .AVIATION... VFR conditions the next several days.

Well above normal temperatures persist through the weekend, with Moderate to Major HeatRisk in the Valley, Delta and foothills. Gradual cooling trend next week, with potentially some showers late in the week. && .Discussion... Unseasonably hot temperatures continue today and over the next several days across the area, with widespread Moderate to Major HeatRisk in the Valley and foothills, especially from Interstate 80 southward. The 4-Corners ridge which extends into the region will be flattened a bit today as a trough passes through, mainly over the Pacific Northwest. As a result, highs today will be a little less hot than yesterday. West to southwest winds are increasing with this trough, mainly over mountain ridges. This is leading to elevated fire weather conditions this afternoon and evening, especially for the higher Sierra and into the Burney Basin. While the weather remain dry today, there is enough mid level moisture to spread some clouds through the area. The ridge will quickly rebound, with highs highs 15-20 degrees above normal over the weekend. Forecast highs are expected to be in the 90s to around 104 degrees in the Valley and Delta. Sunday is expected to be the hottest day in the forecast period, with some daily record highs also possible on Saturday, including for Sacramento and Stockton. HeatRisk has trended higher over the weekend, and so the Heat Advisory has been extended through Sunday evening at 11 PM PDT for the southern Sacramento Valley, Delta area, northern San Joaquin Valley and Motherlode. Some cooling is expected Monday as a weak trough moves in, with onshore flow developing. This will be the begining of a cooling trend for the week. The latest National Blend of Models temperatures for Monday have trended a little warmer, though, so this cooling trend will be a gradual one to start. && .EXTENDED DISCUSSION (Tuesday THROUGH Friday)... Weak upper troughing moves through Tuesday providing minor synoptic cooling, but forecast high temperatures continue to be above normal through the middle of next week. Ensemble guidance and cluster analysis is in general agreement for upper level troughing across the Eastern Pacific Ocean to then develop and approach from the west mid to late next week. This will assist in cooling temperatures, and bring increased onshore flow to the forecast area. HeatRisk decreases to Minor for the Valley and foothills over the extended forecast period as a result of the gradually cooling temperatures as they return closer to the climatological normal for early to mid October. Additionally, precipitation chances return to the forecast for the end of next week. The National Blend of Models (NBM) currently advertises about 15-35% probability for a tenth of an inch of precipitation or greater for Friday, with best chances north of Interstate 80. There is still quite a bit of uncertainty for details and timing of any precipitation but either way, relief from the heat looks promising as we progress into next week. && .AVIATION...

Strong southwesterly winds are already develop across portion of north central Idaho over Lemhi county into southwest Montana. These southwest winds are combining with extremely low humidity readings creating critical fire weather conditions. This combination should last through the afternoon into the evening hours. Next is the cold front which is just moving into central Washington and Oregon. Several weather observations on the lee- side of the Cascade crest have already gusted into low to upper 40 mph range this afternoon. This front is expected to move into northwest Montana by mid afternoon and push across the region through the remainder of the day into the late evening. This front will cause strong westerly winds to mix down to the surface during this passage. Areas around Orofino and northern Camas Prairie in Idaho have a 30-50% chance of experiencing wind gusts greater than 50 mph during the frontal passage. While areas along and east of the Hwy 93 corridor in western Montana have a 40-90% chance of gusts greater than 50 mph. Lakeside to Hot Springs Montana, west-side of the Bitterroot valley and Anaconda region have a 30-60% chance of gusts higher than 60 mph. Multiple warning and advisories are in effect for the impacts these winds will have to the Northern Rockies this afternoon and evening. The front will also bring widespread precipitation to the region, but the winds will negate the amount that reaches the valley floors. Clearwater County up along the Montana/Idaho border have a 60 to 90% chance of receiving a tenth of an inch of rain. While Idaho County and northwest Montana have a 20-40% chance of a wetting rain. Lemhi County and southwest Montana have a low probability of receiving any precipitation. Snow levels will start off around 7000 feet during the onset of precipitation and lower to around 5000-6000 feet by Saturday morning. The highest peaks of the Bitterroot range up across the Bob Marshall wilderness into Glacier National Park should anticipate 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulation by Saturday morning. A ridge of high pressure builds back over the Northern Rockies this weekend and lasts through at least mid next week. This ridge will cause a warming and drying trend for the region with relatively light afternoon westerly winds. Around 25% of the models are showing a weak disturbance moving through the region by the end of next week, but details are fairly limited on the impacts from this feature other than increased west winds. && .AVIATION... Gusty southerly winds are already being experienced at KBTM and KSMN this afternoon. KHRF should have gusty south winds around 04/21z then turn westerly after 05/01z. The frontal passage is expected to move through KGPI around 04/23z with gusts around 38kts. KMSO is expected to be impacted by the frontal winds after 05/00z with gusts approaching 48 kts. KBTM is expected to have a wind shift to the northwest around 05/03z. KSMN should experience a decrease in winds during the evening then have a wind shift around 05/04z. This front will also bring in clouds with steady lowering of the ceilings. Widespread precipitation is expected across north central Idaho into northwest Montana, but precipitation will steadily decrease in intensity over southwest Montana. Snow levels will start off around 7000 feet this evening and lower to between 5000-6000 feet by Saturday morning. && .MSO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Take precautions in areas where a sudden drop in visibility occurs. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 209 PM PDT Fri Oct 4 2024/ SHORT TERM...Tonight through Saturday. Skies are mostly sunny across northern and central Nevada this afternoon. Strong winds developed earlier this afternoon in response to upper level low pressure moving through the Pacific Northwest states and the northern Rockies. Some remote observation platforms are showing winds gusting to 45 mph. This has caused localized dust to become airborne over west-central Nevada, across Churchill and Pershing counties. This area of dust will move northeast and is expected to affect portions of eastern Humboldt and northern Lander counties later this afternoon with some reductions to visibility possible. Winds will diminish later this evening with skies remaining mostly clear. Overnight lows will be in the 40s. For Saturday and Saturday night, upper level ridging will build across the southwestern United States. This will lead to mainly sunny skies across the area for the Saturday timeframe. High temperatures will once again be well above normal levels, though no record temperatures are expected to be set. Winds will be breezy during the afternoon with some gusts to 25 mph in portions of northern Nevada. Quiet and cool conditions continue Saturday night with lows in the 40s. LONG TERM...Sunday through next Friday A ridge of high pressure will bring warm and dry conditions to the CWA through next week. Highs will be in the 80s with overnight lows in the 40s under partly cloudy to mostly clear skies. The ridge slightly weakens Monday in response to a trough approaching the Pacific NW region. Uncertainty emerges starting Thursday as some long-range ensemble solutions show another Pacific NW trough advancing eastward. This will lead to cooler conditions to the region with highs into the mid to upper 70s with lows in the 40s. Winds will be breezy out the south to southwest during the afternoon with locally higher gusts of 20 mph possible. AVIATION...VFR conditions at all terminals through tomorrow. Strong winds this afternoon and evening W-SW15-25G20-25KT and will persist through the evening hours before dropping to around 10KT overnight. Some patchy blowing dust occurring at KBAM this afternoon and possibly KEKO may cause intermittent reductions to visibility.
