Upper trough swinging across northern Wy into the northern plains
now with energy clipping the north part of the CWA and setting
off some showers. Expect these to move eastward for the rest of
the afternoon before ending. A cool surface high will settle over
the northern plains tonight and with clear skies should see a
chilly night. Min temps Sunday morning should get close to
freezing over parts of the northern and western CWA so have opted
to post a frost advy for those typically cool areas for later
tonight into Sunday morning.
Warmer temps make their return Sunday as the surface high moves
into the central plains and southerly winds set up over the CWA.
An impulse will move across the area late Sunday and set off some
showers and a few storms mainly east of the mtns Sunday afternoon
with activity moving across the Panhandle Sunday evening. Warm and
dry Monday with lee troughing over the high plains. Rather breezy
over western areas both Sunday and monday afternoon.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)

A closed low over southwest Canada will remain nearly stationary
through the period. A series of upper troughs will impact the
Intermountain West, Rockies and High Plains. These systems and a
couple of cold frontal passages will maintain a showery pattern
through the week. Best opportunity for thunder will be Tuesday
afternoon with the first cold front moving through the CWA. It
will be quite breezy along and west of the Laramie Range Tuesday
with westerly winds gusting to 40 mph. Highest mountain elevations
could see a couple of inches of snow Tuesday night and Thursday
night. High Temperatures Tuesday through Thursday slightly above
seasonal normals, then cool to slightly below normal Friday and
Saturday after the second cold front.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 100 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
Quite a difference in the models this afternoon concerning
possibilities for convection across south central Kansas.
The HRRR has really only been supported by the WRF-NMM and has
been consistent run after run today supporting a cluster of
thunderstorms initiating near the cold front-dryline intersection
in northwest OK, and moving quickly northeast over the areas of
Comanche Barber Pratt and Stafford counties between 4 and 7 pm.
There is about 30kts of 0-6 km bulk shear, and and LHP value in
the lowest bin (still thinking half dollar or slighlty larger
size hail for max size), and possibility of locally severe wind
gusts. Several of the other CAM`s fail to produce convection
across our local counties. As the boundary spreads south later
tonight, low level stratiform clouds will redevelop and
overspread much of the area by early Sunday morning. The trend
of the low level cloudiness will be one of the forecast
challenges for Sunday temperatures, as winds remain light easterly
and upslope under a surface high pressure ridge. It could remain
cloudy all day over the entire forecast area.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 100 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
Latest 12UTC GFS continues to show weak mid level differential
vorticity moving through the downstream flow Sunday night, which
may account for additional elevated showers and thunderstorms
through the region. Light and variable or even easterly winds
Monday should be replaced by south winds as another warm front
develops by Monday night. This will setup a hot downslope flow day
on Tuesday, where the GFSMOS has 95 degrees at DDC. Both the GFS
and EC meet this hot airmass with another cold front on Tuesday
night, which should easily knock temperatures back down into the
low 80s on Wednesday afternoon.

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Sunday/
Issued at 330 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
Bottom Line up Front... Severe weather potential from around 4 pm
until midnight or so remains the biggest threat. All modes of severe
weather are on the table, with large hail and damaging winds being
the primary threats, and a few tornadoes being the secondary threat.
Synoptic-scale... 19z Non-operational GOES 16 data picking up on two
stronger upper lows phased within a longwave trough that digs down
through the Four Corners Region. These lows have decent westward
tilt with height as the sfc reflection lows are centered over
northern Minnesota and eastern Nebraska. The northern sfc low is
undoubtedly the stronger of the two lows, as the more southerly low
has been losing organization throughout the daytime along its
northeasterly trek. Attendant to the northern low is a decently
strong cold front that drapes from north to S/SSW and phases with
the southern low. As this boundary propagates east and southeast, it
will be the main focusing mechanism for the strong to severe
potential this evening into the overnight hours... Short-term models
starting to lock into placing the boundary south and east of the DMX
CWA between 12z and 15z Sun. Resultingly, Sunday afternoon looks
much cooler as 850mb temps drop a solid 5C. With scattered cloud
cover around, highs in the low to mid 70s seems a plausible forecast.
Mesoscale... Showers and storms have been fairly widespread across
the CWA throughout the daytime today. CAPE values have been around
500 J/KG, the main limiting factor for the storms reaching severe
levels. As expected, HRRR (warm-start) has been outperforming other
models... though it still has not perfectly handled storms through
today. During peak heating, SPC mesoanalysis showing SBCAPE values
reaching 2000 J/KG to 2500 J/KG, so plenty sufficient instability to
work with. Meanwhile, Low-level lapse rates very high, reaching 9
C/km...and mid-level lapse rates reaching 7 C/KM suggest hail will
be a threat. Fcst soundings have been consistent in showing storms
becoming more sfc-based with boundary approaching, making hail a
realistic threat. DCAPE values around 1000 J/KG, with fairly
unidirectional winds, so damaging winds also a threat. Tornado
threat not great, but not non-zero. Between 00z and 03z, In
southern/SW Iowa, low-level theta-e difference perks up, phased with
higher CAPE values and 0-3km bulk shear vectors flowing close to
perpendicular to this CAPE gradient. Hodograph for svr potential
looks okay... not great, but not poor.
.LONG TERM.../Sunday night through Saturday/
Issued at 330 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
Active early in the week as high pressure moves across southern
Minnesota Sunday night then moisture lifts back north late Sunday
night into Monday. A strong short wave will arrive during the day
on Monday and will lead to increasing showers and thunderstorms
and a good chance for widespread precipitation. PWAT values will
rise back to above 1.5 inches and near 175 percent of climatology
and will bring the potential for rainfall amounts in excess of 1
inch in some areas. High temperatures on Monday will remain cool
with highs mainly in the 60s and lower 70s due to the
precipitation and clouds.
Warmer weather will again return Tuesday with an area of low
pressure developing to the west and a warm front lifts north into
Iowa leading to highs back into the 80s. A large upper level low
pressure system over southwest Canada will be a big influence on
Iowa for mid to late week. This system will drive a strong short
wave through the Midwest Wednesday and another brief cool down.
The large upper low will help create a deep trough over the
western CONUS late this week while a subtropical high amplifies
into the Ohio Valley. This will lead to steep southwest flow
developing over Iowa and potentially another run at 90 degrees by
Friday. Given this flow, current solutions are likely too fast
moving the boundary into Iowa through the southwest flow which
should stall it to the west. The end of the week should end on a
very warm and mostly dry not before a potential stormy next
weekend. This type of pattern may be the end of the warm stretch
and lead to a transition to more fall like weather.

MVFR to IFR stratus moving into northern Iowa and will impact FOD

appears to be around 700-900 feet before improving to 1700-2300
feet. Confident FOD and MCW will see these IFR ceilings but will
likely increase to MVFR later this evening. For now, only have
MVFR ceilings mentioned at DSM and ALO as lower confidence to
mention for timing, but likely move in by around 06-08z.

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 315 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
Upper low over eastern MT continues to lift northeast into ND with
lead PV anomaly over western SD early this afternoon. Another PV
anomaly located across southern WY will also be pulling northeast
tonight. At the surface weakening high pressure across NE as
pressure falls increase across the western High Plains. Cold front
that came through the area last evening now located across
central KS into eastern MN, cutting through far southeast NE. Mid
level cloudiness atop lower clouds remains across north central
NE, with light echoes on radar waning.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
Height rises over the central Rockies behind the exiting upper
level low over the northern Plains will induce a more zonal flow
over the lee of the Rockies this evening. This will promote
surface pressure falls over the High Plains and a resulting return
flow prior to advancing high pressure to come later overnight.
This will result in upslope flow further west and a mid level warm
advection pattern and associated isentropic lift this evening.
Mid level cloudiness and isolated to widely scattered rain showers
should develop this evening/overnight as per the HRRR. Will
include some cloud cover in the western and southwestern portion
of the area tonight for this. While not a big deal from a
precipitation perspective, the cloud cover should keep the
southern portion of the area from dropping into the 30s overnight
assuming it happens as expected. This is as a result of surface
high pressure dropping south and settles in over the central part
of the state early Sunday morning. Recent MOS guidance has warmed
overnight lows a few degrees in the south due to cloud cover in
the south as discussed, but remains fairly constant further north
and west where mid 30s are likely. Patchy frost possible there.
Did include patchy frost in the northwestern areas which was also
in prev forecast.
As previously mentioned area of upper height rises moves in to the
northern Plains during the day Sunday broader surface pressure falls
develop over the lee of the Rockies. This will set up a return low
level flow through the day. Cloud cover is not consisent in the
models with more precip shown in the HRRR in the morning, after a
cool start. Atmospheric return flow increases during the day and low
level moisture returns into the High Plains. This, combined with
southwesterly flow aloft will bring an elevated mixed layer and
available mid level instability which is indicated by a narrow area
of CAPE in the Panhandle by afternoon. Morning precip should weaken
and went with a mainly dry forecast after that.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
An active week ahead as a large upper level trough digs south
through the western portions of the United states. Our region will
remain on the eastern periphery of the upper trough with
southwest flow aloft to dominate for the first half of the week,
then a more south-southwest flow aloft for the second half of the
week as the trough digs farther south into the southwest U.S.
The first chance for rain will be Sunday night into Monday morning.
Strong mid level warm air advection and increasingly moist southerly
low level jet, will lead to significant destabilization in the mid
levels of the atmosphere. Looks like a decent set up for elevated
thunderstorm development, and have this covered in the forecast with
some fairly decent pops.
Another shot for rain enters the picture late Tuesday afternoon and
Tuesday night. This looks most likely for northern Nebraska, which
will be in closer proximity to a decent wave moving across the
Dakotas. SPC continues to highlight northern Nebraska for potential
severe during this time. Moisture, instability and shear look decent
and agree some stronger storms are possible and will highlight in
the Hazardous Weather Outlook.
A cold front will scour out the moisture for Wednesday through
Thursday night and expect dry conditions during this time. For
Friday into the weekend, rain/thunder chances will increase, as both
quality low level moisture and upper level dynamics become favorable
for precipitation development. Certainly could be some stronger
storms as dew points rise into the 60s and south-southwest flow
aloft increases as the upper trough approaches from the west.
Temperature wise, it is looking like a fairly warm week, with highs
ranging from the mid 70s to mid 80s.

915 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017
.UPDATE...
The weather has quieted down across the forecast area as of 9 pm.
There is still a small t-storm complex in the northern Rolling
Plains and far southeast Texas Panhandle that will be mainly
impacting Childress and northern Cottle Counties through about 10
pm. We also have another batch of showers and t-storms moving E-NE
out of east-central NM into the western South Plains, This
activity has some lightning associated with it, but it should
remain on the disorganized/weak side as it moves into a lower
instability environment farther to the east. Later tonight, we
could see additional shower and t-storm activity approach the
forecast area from the southwest as the next shortwave in the
southwest flow aloft edges toward the region. Right now, an
isolated mention in the forecast seems lke it will suffice.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 643 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017/
AVIATION...
Thunderstorms are roaming near/over all three terminals to kick
off the TAF cycle. Storms over KLBB should quickly shift east of
the terminal, though they could persist another 1-3 hours at KPVW
and KCDS. Expect gusty and erratic winds and brief heavy rain (and
associated reduced visibilities) with the strongest cores. More
isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible late tonight
into Sunday morning, with scattered redevelop Sunday afternoon.
Timing and coverage of convection beyond this evening`s round is
uncertain and has been excluded from the TAFs at this time.
Outside of any storm influences VFR and relatively light (though
somewhat variable) winds will be the rule.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 341 PM CDT Sat Sep 16 2017/
DISCUSSION...
Unsettled SW flow aloft looks on track for another round of
isolated to scattered storms later today and overnight. Water
vapor imagery indicated a narrow dark axis (subsidence) extending
from near El Paso northeast to Amarillo, which aligns well with
the northern terminus of an upper jet. This jet coincides nicely
with a surface trough and ample surface heating (0-3 km lapse
rates as steep as 10*C) which has brewed SBCAPEs of 500-1000 J/kg
thus far. Agitated cumulus have blossomed along this axis of
strong heating, with maturation to storms noted near Levelland as
of 310 PM. Greater coverage of storms in Lea County, NM could
prove to be the bigger show locally as 20-30 knots of steering
flow sends this activity into the South Plains through the evening.
Feeling is the HRRR remains overblown with coverage of precip,
but the overall scenario of storms tracking NE and focusing near
the aforementioned surface trough appears very plausible. Healthy
DCAPE of nearly 1500 J/kg will favor microbursts with some of the
stronger cores, which was addressed well in the midnight shift`s
HWO. With no real upper trough evident overnight, convection
may not wane much at all after midnight thanks to the lingering
upper jet.
SW flow aloft will veer a bit more W-SW on Sunday as an elongated
ridge retrogrades from the Gulf to South TX. Upshot of this is
that the mid-level moist axis, surface trough, and upper jet
should all be nudged farther north into the Panhandle, but remain
close enough to warrant additional PoPs for much of our region. By
Monday, drier westerly flow should vaporize a large extent of the
elevated moisture plume and serve to ratchet high temps up. This
warming looks most pronounced on Tuesday as most of the CWA
resides west of a surface trough/weak dryline complete with 15-20
mph downslope winds. Max temps were edged higher Tuesday, but
could see some respectable cooling by Wednesday as a dry cold
front dives south. This front will be tied to a lead trough ejecting
from a longwave trough poised to dominate much of the western
CONUS by late next week. Barring some conditional PoPs along the
trough/dryline Tuesday in our Low Rolling Plains` counties, the
more definitive push of deeper moisture should evolve by Thursday
and beyond as the upper flow trends more meridional ahead of the
digging trough to our west. GEFS members exhibit surprisingly good
clustering with this regime which is befitting of high chance PoPs
regionally for Friday and Saturday, along with cooler high temps.

National Weather Service Portland OR
840 PM PDT Sat Sep 16 2017
.SYNOPSIS...A change in the weather looms Sunday as a series of
troughs of low pressure originating in the Bering Sea and Gulf of
Alaska move across the Pacific Northwest. A cold front will move
across the region Sunday afternoon and evening bringing the first
batch of rain. Additional systems behind this front will keep rain
chances going through at least mid week. Cooler air will accompany
the change in weather, with snow levels lowering in the Cascades.
&&
.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Tuesday...The forecast remains on track
this evening so no changes were necessary. Previous discussion (from
302 PM this afternoon) follows...Thermal induced surface trough was
over the Willamette Valley Sat afternoon, with a shortwave trough of
low pres aloft nearing the coast. A progressive pattern will push the
upper trough across this evening, with the surface trough moving east
of the Cascades. Surface ridging pushing up behind the trough will
bring a weak sw onshore flow tonight. Flow at both surface and aloft
becomes more westerly Sun, bringing an increase in moisture in the
low to mid levels, and consequently an increase in clouds. This
should finally clean out the lingering smoky air mass stuck in the
inland valleys.
An upper low pressure system originating in the Bering Sea will move
down off the BC coast and then inland over southern BC Sun and Mon.
This will push a cold front se across the forecast area Sun afternoon
and evening. With the onshore flow, models agree on good low and mid
level moisture accompanying the front, which looks sufficient to
carry likely to categorical pops for Sun afternoon and evening.
Once the initial cold front moves through, a cooler air mass moves in
for Mon and Tue. Cooling aloft comes in comparatively quickly,
resulting in destabilization of the air mass Mon. A series of
shortwaves rotating around the digging upper low will keep a threat
of showers going through Tue, while continuing westerly low level
flow adds an orographic component. GFS forecast soundings suggest
sufficient instability for a threat of thunder Mon afternoon, while
NAM is less optimistic. With an expectation of plenty of low level
clouds, prefer to leave out any threat for thunder from the forecast
at this time. Model soundings indicate the unstable layer becoming
shallower Mon night and Tue, reflecting a diminished threat for
thunder, although a continued low level unstable layer still
favorable for showers. Snow levels dropping during the day Mon
potentially drop to 6K ft or a little lower.
Late Tue there is not great agreement on the track or intensity, but
both GFS and EC suggest a surface low approaching the WA coast.
Isentropic lift in warm air advection ahead of the low likely spreads
onto the coast late in the day Tue, likely turning precipitation more
stratiform.
As the pattern evolves, from the cold front late Sun, to a showery
air mass Mon, to a stratiform rain event late Tue, the prospects for
heavier rainfall causing flooding on this summers burn scars in the
Cascades increase. With burn scars in steep terrain having a low
threshold for handling substantial rainfall, the possibility for
needing some sort of flash flood watch or warning specifically for
those areas will increase in the coming days.
.LONG TERM...No Changes. Previous discussion follows...Tuesday night
through Saturday...No Changes. Previous discussion follows...Active
weather pattern continues through the week, with another possibly
wetter system coming in Tuesday night into Wednesday. The GFS
suggests an atmospheric river targeting NW Oregon and SW Washington
Tuesday night into Wednesday with precipitable water values around 1"
to 1.5" approaching the coast with the warm front Tuesday afternoon.
The ECMWF also suggests a good slug of moisture Tuesday night into
Wednesday, increasing confidence in heavy rainfall during this
period. Rain transitions to showers behind the cold front midday
Wednesday, with cool and showery conditions continuing into Thursday.
Showers will be tapering off by Friday as a ridge of high pressure
builds in for next weekend.
Snow levels will drop down to around 5000-6000 ft behind the cold
front on Monday, with our first chance for accumulating snow up in
the High Cascades. Snow levels look to rise back up to around
7000-8000 ft with the warm front on Tuesday night into Wednesday, but
come back down to 5000-6000 ft Wednesday afternoon behind the cold
front, for another chance for snow in the High Cascades.
High temperatures drop below normal through much of this week with
this active, cooler weather pattern. Temps not expected to get back
up near normal until next weekend with the ridge building in. -McCoy
&&
.AVIATION...Smoke resulted in areas of MVFR visibilities this
evening for the Willamette Valley and Columbia River Gorge with
local IFR visibilities. The smoke should improve a little the
next few hours. West winds along the coast will slowly make
its way inland tonight and eliminate smoke restrictions for the
interior valleys. The HRRR smoke forecast suggests that the
smoke should clear the Willamette Valley by 4 AM Monday morning.
Stratus is starting to fill in along the coast this evening with
IFR CIGS at KONP. A deeper marine layer should deepen the stratus
and push it inland late tonight through Sunday morning. A cold
front will bring rain and gusty south winds to the coast late
Sunday morning or early afternoon with MVFR to IFR cigs. The
inland stratus should lift in the afternoon as the front nears
with rain impacting inland areas late Sunday afternoon. Expect
initially VFR conditions with the inland rain with brief MVFR
with the front passage in the evening.
KPDX AND APPROACHES...Smoke will gradually improve VSBYS this
evening. The HRRR model forecasts the smoke will move east of the
airport around 9z (1 AM) Sunday. Stratus is likely Sunday
morning, but VFR conditions should continue. South winds will
increase Sunday with rain expected around 4 PM. MVFR conditions
possible Sunday evening with the frontal passage. ~TJ

.MARINE...Light onshore winds across the waters this evening as
weak high pressure moves over the waters. The winds will back to
the south late tonight and Sunday morning as a cold front
approaches the waters. South winds will increase Sunday morning
with small craft advisory winds expected Sunday afternoon and
evening with the frontal passage. Fresh swell will build sea
heights during this time. Onshore winds will follow the front
Sunday night and persist through Monday morning. A low pressure
off of the B.C. coast moves south Monday afternoon tightening
the surface pressure gradient over the waters, and providing
another chance for small craft advisory winds Monday afternoon
and night. A larger long-period swell builds Monday night with
wave heights likely building into the teens.
South winds return Tuesday afternoon or night as the next front
approaches. The models are coming in better agreement on the
parent low and the possibility for Gales Tuesday night into
Wednesday. The seas may push into the upper teens Wednesday. ~TJ
