NWS Forecaster Discussion
406 fxus66 kotx 071248 afdotx Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Spokane Washington 445 am PST Sat Nov 7 2009 Synopsis... heavy snow is expected over the high elevations of the inland northwest today and tonight. The mountains of northeast Washington...northern Idaho...and portions of the Cascades can expect big accumulations by Sunday morning. Monday will be a relatively dry day for the inland northwest...but another storm system will bring rain and high elevation snow to the region Monday night into Tuesday. && Discussion... ... High elevation snows today and tonight... Today and tonight...an upper level low anchored over the Gulf of Alaska will remain nearly stationary for the next 24-48 hours...and the fast zonal flow into the Pacific northwest will continue to provide unsettled weather to region. A pair of vigorous shortwaves will move through the fast flow today and tonight. Water vapor imagery as of 10z shows the first wave on the Washington coast...and this wave will bring a round of precipitation to the Spokane forecast area this morning through early this afternoon. The second wave is about 500 miles due south of the Alaska coast...and this wave will bring another round of precipitation tonight. Neither of these shortwaves has a particularly impressive moisture tap. The AMSU satellite derived product depicts two-thirds of an inch precipitable water with each shortwave. Even with the limited moisture...significant precipitation will likely accompany the passage of both waves. Deep layer instability and good orographics will compensate for the limited moisture. The models are in good agreement that each wave will produce a band of precipitation between .25 and .33 inches over the mountains of the Panhandle and northeast Washington. Given the favorable west-southwest wind into the mountains...some of the southwest facing slopes could receive upwards of a half inch of liquid equivalent with each wave. With the highly convective nature of the precipitation...elevations above 4000 feet can expect snow ratios of between 12 to 1 and 15 to 1. Snow totals of 6 to 12 inches seem plausible by Sunday morning for the mountains around Sandpoint...Chewelah...and Kellogg. The Winter Storm Watch for these areas has been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning for elevations above 4000 feet in the central Panhandle...and above 3500 feet for the mountains near the Canadian border. Accumulations of 10-18 inches are likely for the Cascade crest...with lesser amounts west of the crest due to the considerable westerly down-slope wind. Locally breezy winds will occur this afternoon behind the first shortwave. Winds will not be as strong as yesterday...but with 850mb winds in around 30kts and favorable lapse rates for low level mixing...gusty conditions will be experienced again over the Palouse...West Plains...and Spokane area. /Gkoch Sunday through Tuesday...the models begin this period of the forecast with a fair spread in quantitative precipitation forecast values across the forecast area on Sunday morning...however with a trend toward much improved conditions by Sunday afternoon well established. The NAM has consistently been slower than the GFS/Canadian with the progression of Saturday night's system to the east of the area...and tonight's 00z and 06z runs were no exception. As a result...the forecast trends a bit closer toward the GFS/Canadian consensus and neglects the rather impressive quantitative precipitation forecast generated by the NAM over the southeastern portion of the area on Sunday morning. By 12z Sunday...the GFS is tracking the main vorticity well into northwestern Montana...while the NAM trails it a bit father west. The main differences in the models center around strong quantitative precipitation forecast generated by the NAM along the cold front as it sags southward into the southeastern portion of the area. Harnessing of instability and coupling it with very impressive differential positive vorticity advection to generate strong omegas over a very narrow region along the front yield quantitative precipitation forecast values around 0.60 inches from The Blues across the Palouse on Sunday morning. However...given the large sale westerly to southwesterly flow...this scenario seems rather unlikely to materialize...given the propensity of the large scale flow to advect any particular vorticity maximum east rather than allow it to sag due south along the front. In addition...with ridging popping up immediately to the west of the main vorticity lobe...it seems increasingly unlikely that any additional incoming vorticity may run down the front...effectively re-activating lift along the frontal band. As a result...the forecast features much lighter diminishing up-slope showers rather than organized frontal rain/snow through Sunday. After forcing along the cold front shifts eastward Sunday afternoon and evening...the GFS starts to shift the thermal gradient a bit farther farther north...with incoming large scale southerly flow increasing the northward translation of the front overnight Sunday night as a warm frontal push. Some isentropic lift is noted along the front as it shifts northward Sunday night...however condensation pressure deficits in the 290k area generally stay near or above 30 mb over eastern Washington...with the only area of reduced condensation pressure deficits near the Cascades. As a result...precipitation chances have been relegated to the Cascades...with the rest of the area dry along and behind the warm front Sunday night into Monday. Better model agreement exists in clearing behind the warm front for Sunday night and Monday. Additionally...the 00z GFS and 06z NAM have come into much closer agreement for tracking the trailing cold front into the area on Monday night with a 120 knots jet streak left entrance region coming on shore and deep layer positive vorticity advection spreading stratiform rains into the area Monday night. Layer temperatures after the warm frontal passage surge above freezing well up into the atmosphere...and wet bulb zero heights reach nearly 6000 feet over many areas. As a result...many locations that will have seen snow this weekend are likely to see rain with the next system on Monday night and Tuesday. /Fries && Aviation... a pair of fast moving storm systems will move through Washington today and tonight. Look for precipitation to begin in the Spokane...Pullman...and Lewiston areas around 15z and continue through 18-19z. Temporary MVFR ceilings are possible for a couple of hours at kgeg...kcoe...ksff...and kpuw before precipitation quickly clears these airports. The second round of precipitation will spread across eastern Washington shortly after 00z. Look for possible MVFR ceilings again at the same terminals between 04z and 08z. /Gkoch && Preliminary point temps/pops...
