Severe Weather Alert Descriptions
Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 9:51 am PDT on May 13, 2012
... The warmest temperatures of the season combined with cold and
swift rivers will pose a hazard to recreational waters users over
the weekend and early this week...
Area rivers and streams remain cold with elevated water flows due
to the ongoing melting of Spring snow pack. High temperatures are
expected to run as much as 15 to 20 degrees above normal over the
weekend and also on Monday... likely leading to increased
recreational water activity.
The cold and swift rivers will pose a significant danger for those
who enter the water. River temperatures remain in the 45 to 50
degree fahrenheit range... much cooler than during the height of
Summer. Exercise caution in or around area rivers and lakes... as
hypothermia can set in fast with such chilly water temperatures.

NWS Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Portland or 308 am PDT Wednesday may 16 2012 Synopsis...the cooldown continues today as our strong upper level ridge moves off to the east. Strong onshore flow will continue as a weak upper level trough deepens the marine layer tonight and Thursday. Low clouds are expected to return to the coast this morning...then spread well inland with patchy drizzle possible as the upper trough moves onshore tonight and Thursday morning. Most areas will remain dry through the weekend. A return to wet weather is looking increasingly likely for next week. && Short term...satellite fog product shows low clouds are slow to return to the coast this morning...just a few patches beginning to develop around Astoria and also spreading northward from the Coos Bay area. Most models...suggest the low clouds will continue to develop over the next few hours...becoming widespread along the coast by 15z. While this may be a little hasty...the general idea looks good with increasing low clouds along the coast. Inland areas probably too dry for low clouds this morning with dewpoints falling into the 30s some areas. Without low clouds to start the morning...inland areas should see filtered sunshine with variable high clouds throughout the day. Onshore pressure gradients start off the day at 8 mb from kast-kdls and should only get stronger as the day progresses...so the seabreeze will remain brisk throughout the day. While this will keep temperatures cooler than Tuesday...the air mass aloft is cooling as well. European model (ecmwf)/GFS show 1000-500 mb thicknesses falling throughout the day...and 850 mb temperatures will be 2-4 degree c cooler than Tuesday. As a result temperatures should be capped in the lower to middle 70s inland today. One big forecast question is whether or not low clouds will solidify along the coast by tonight...then deepen and spread inland Thursday morning as a weak upper trough moves across the district. NAM bufr soundings suggest despite the cooling aloft...a decent marine inversion remains through Friday morning. This should keep coastal low clouds intact as they spread inland tonight/early Thursday...assuming they form at all over the next 12-24 hours. Going along with this Assumption...Thursday looks fairly cloudy for the district with some drizzle or isolated showers possible over the higher terrain. Extensive low clouds also look possible for Thursday night/Friday morning as onshore flow continues and the marine layer remains deep. The cloud cover and cooler air mass will likely send temperatures to below normal levels by Thursday or Friday. Tricky forecast though...as there remains the possibility coastal low clouds never solidify and spread inland. There is also the possibility the cool air aloft associated with the upper trough mixes out the marine layer completely by Thursday. Either situation would result in more sunshine for Thursday and Friday...and temperatures a little warmer than our current forecast. Weagle Long term...looks like another dry weekend as weak high pressure builds across Washington and Oregon. Temperatures will gradually warm back up as shortwave upper level ridging warms the air mass aloft. Highs may return to a few degrees above normal...middle to upper 70s inland...for Sunday. Eventually a strong Pacific jet will shove the upper ridge eastward...with a frontal system approaching the coast by Monday. While some outlying models have brought rain inland Sunday...the consensus still limits the rain threat to the north coast Sunday afternoon. We continue to lean toward the consensus solution keeping most areas dry Sunday. After that...models continue to show a more troughy pattern...bringing a return to cool and wet weather early next week. Weagle && Aviation...VFR conditions dominating early this morning. However stratus slowly regenerating along the North Washington and south Oregon coast. Model relative humidity fields suggest MVFR ceilings around 1000-1500 feet with local IFR ceilings to develop in this morning on the coast...but not have much inland intrusion. There could be areas of scattered to broken ceilings around the keug area this morning where remaining higher moisture exists. VFR is expected to prevail this afternoon except for areas of MVFR continuing on the coast. && Marine...marginal Small Craft Advisory winds over the waters though coastal observing locations with the exception of Newport jetty are below advisory criteria. Flow turns a little more to the west this afternoon so expect near shore winds to ease. However the coastal water zones west of 10 nm should remain in Small Craft Advisory criteria through at least Thursday morning...possibly into Thursday night. Advisory for steep hazardous seas verified at buoy 89 and just under elsewhere. So will continue with hazardous seas advisory in the north water. Overall trend is for the wave period to increase so hazardous conditions should decrease later in the morning. The prolonged northwest winds still appear likely to drive seas up to 10 feet by Thursday...before subsiding again Friday. && Pqr watches/warnings/advisories... or...none. Washington...none. Pz...Small Craft Advisory for winds until 10 am PDT Thursday for waters from Cape Shoalwater Washington to Cascade Head or from 10 to 60 nm-waters from Cascade Head to Florence or from 10 to 60 nm. Small Craft Advisory for hazardous seas until noon PDT today for coastal waters from Cape Shoalwater Washington to Cascade Head or out 60 nm. Small Craft Advisory for winds until 8 PM PDT this evening for coastal waters from Cape Shoalwater Washington to Cascade Head or out 10 nm-coastal waters from Cascade Head to Florence or out 10 nm. && $$ More weather information online at... http://weather.Gov/Portland This discussion is for northwest Oregon and southwest Washington from the Cascade crest to 60 nautical miles offshore.
