NWS Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Spokane Washington 432 am PDT Wed may 16 2012 Synopsis... a gradual cool down and breezy winds are expected today as high pressure weakens and a series of weather disturbances moves through the region for the remainder of the week. By Thursday and Friday, there is a threat of showers and thunderstorms to mainly north Idaho. High pressure and a warm-up is returning for the weekend, though this will be short-lived as cloudy conditions return Monday. This will be followed by a much wetter cold front for Tuesday and Wednesday. This early work week pattern also favors gusty west winds and much cooler temperatures closer to seasonable normals. && Discussion... Today through thursday: the Pacific northwest will remain in between two systems for the next 24 hours. One closed low is in northern BC, while the other is in southern Nevada. For today temperatures will average 8 to 12 degrees cooler than yesterday, but still be above average for this time of the year. Mid and high level thin clouds will transverse from the west through the day. Winds will increase during the late morning and early afternoon hours and become breezy in the afternoon and early evening as a surface pressure gradient sets up between high pressure in the eastern Pacific and low pressure on the east side of The Divide. Tonight we remain dry with temperatures around average for this time of the year. Winds will decrease in the evening and overnight hours. The only exciting 'weather' Worth discussing is Thursday the models are all showing a wave moving down from the backside of the low in Canada along the British Columbia coast and approaching Washington by late Thursday afternoon. The GFS appears to be the strongest with this wave. Both the NAM and European model (ecmwf) have started to trend toward the GFS in strength and placement. Even though this appears to be a decently strong wave, there is no good moisture tap associated with it. All the moisture appears to be confined between 6500 and 10000 ft with lots of dry air at the surface to overcome from the last few warm days. There is some marginal instability across the northern Idaho Panhandle Thursday afternoon. So, kept the best chance of showers across extreme northeast Washington and the Idaho Panhandle, with a slight chance of thunder for the northern Idaho Panhandle possible. Daytime temperatures will continue their downward trend, but be about average for this time of the year. /Nisbet Thurs nt through tues: model guidance is continuing with the trend of driving a cold front through the region a bit quicker for thurs nt, putting all of ern WA and some of north ID under the Post frontal dry slot that wedges its way across the Cascades and into the Columbia Basin. This will put a large part of the region under clearing skies between the cold front to the east and the cooler and much more unstable showery regime in srn British Columbia. As the upper trof axis translates east, this unstable region accompanying the vort Max will clip north/NE WA and the north ID Panhandle thurs nt and Fri. The conditionally unstable steep mid-level lapse rates accompanying this vort Max should produce mainly afternoon mtn showers Fri for NE WA and the north ID Panhandle. Isolated thunder is possible based on the latest soundings showing a marginally favorable environment based on cape layer depth and level of free convection to el temps. For the Sat to Tue time frame, the various model guidance shows inconsistencies (not surprising 5-6 days out) concerning the timing of a potentially wet and much cooler wx regime Mon into late tues. However, the GFS and European model (ecmwf) are more in line with pcpn amnts with the heaviest pcpn over north ID tues compared to their big differences in the previous few runs. Because of this, we raised pcpn chances some Mon and tues and cooled afternoon high temps as well. Bz && Aviation... 12z tafs: occasional high clouds will move through the area through 04z Thursday. Wind/wind gusts will also increase btwn 18-21z as low level instability increases...with gusty winds decreasing near 03z Thursday as the lower atmosphere begins to stabilize with the setting sun. && Preliminary point temps/pops...
