940 PM EST Sun Nov 6 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
The unseasonably warm conditions from the weekend will continue
for one final day on Monday, with potential record highs again.
Light rain showers are possible later tonight into early Monday
as a cool front moves in. Canadian high pressure brings
seasonable temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday. This high
moves east of the region Thursday, allowing unseasonably warm
temperatures to return through Saturday. The big weather news
will be heavy rainfall and possible flooding from tropical
moisture associated with low pressure whizzing up the east
coast...possibly remnants of a tropical system. Then a strong
cold front ushers in chilly and dry air for Sunday.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
940 PM update...
Axis of convective showers still back across central NY to
northern VT within the low level theta-e ridge axis. Only
change to the forecast was to delay the higher PoPs until after
midnight per latest HRRR and 3km NAM which show weakening
showers moving into western MA after 06z. This looks reasonable
based on timing of the low level theta-e ridge axis moving into
SNE.
Previous discussion...
For tonight, the cloud cover blanketing the region will
continue to do so, as we await the passage of a pre-frontal
trough/surface cool front now located across central NY/PA.
Expect continued unseasonably mild and humid conditions under
SWly winds, breezy at times but shouldn`t be as breezy as the
daytime. Aformentioned front may produce a blossoming of showers
as it moves through NY, but expect a generally waning coverage
as showers arrive into western MA/CT (SCT shower coverage) late
this evening/midnight, then moving eastward overnight/predawn
into central MA/RI and offshore by early Monday morning. Have
sided toward the warmer guidance vs NBM for tonight given
abundant clouds and continued modest warm advection thru
southerly winds, with lows in the lower to mid 60s, similar to
last night.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
330 PM Update:
Monday and Monday Night:
Front will have shifted offshore by mid-morning Monday. Expect rapid
clearing with full sun anticipated by late morning to the afternoon.
While 925 and 850 mb temps cool, full sun and westerly downsloping
flow should still allow for another day of well above normal high
temperatures, which could approach daily records in the 70s. See the
climate section for details on Monday`s established high temperature
records for our four long-term climate stations. Though it will be
unseasonably warm, the difference compared to the weekend is that
the dewpoints will be plunging from NW to SE, from the lower 60s to
the mid 30s/lower 40s by Monday afternoon. Will still be fairly
breezy with deeper mixing driven by stronger cold advection into the
mid to late afternoon (continuing into the night). Westerly gusts
around 25 to 30 mph, highest across the terrain.
A much colder, more seasonable air mass moves into the area for
Monday night, as a ridge from a strong 1040+ mb anticyclone builds
in from the west-northwest. 925 to 850 mb cold advection becomes
pretty stout for the evening; favoring continued mixing even though
temperatures should fall fairly quickly in the evening. Didn`t go
quite as cold as some of the guidance but shown lows in the mid 30s
to lower 40s. NW winds could gust in the 20 to 30 mph range, highest
in the Berkshires, the hills in northern Worcester County and the
coastal areas.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
420 PM update...
Highlights...
* Normal temperatures Tue/Wed and above normal Thu/Fri/Sat
* Potential for heavy rain and urban flooding Friday night into
Saturday...
* Much colder Sunday.
Details...
Tuesday through Thursday...
Strong high pressure moves from Ontario Tue to southern New
England Wed, then off the coast on Thu. Sunny skies and clear
nights are expected through Thu. Temperatures will be closer to
normal Tue and Wed, with highs mainly 50 to 55, then warming to
60 to 65 Thu as winds turn southerly. Overnight lows could be
chilly Tue night with 20s to lower 30s...but mainly 30s Wed
night and 40s to lower 50s Thu night.
Friday...
Upper level flow turns southerly along the eastern seaboard,
allowing tropical moisture to stream rapidly northward. Sunny
skies in the morning will become cloudy in the afternoon and
there is a chance of rain over western MA, northern CT, and RI
late in the afternoon, way out ahead of low pressure moving up
the coast. Depending on the length of sunshine, high
temperatures could soar to 65 to 70 over much of the region.
This could approach but just fall shy of record highs.
Friday night and Saturday...
Of course this is 5+ days in the future and subject to much
change, but as of now, the GFS, Euro, and Canadian models all
are in amazing agreement with each other. NHC gives a 90
percent chance of development of a tropical system next week
that heads westward toward the southeast U.S. The remnant low
pressure from this system is forecast to lift rapidly
north/northeast, passing near or east of Cape Cod/Nantucket by
Saturday afternoon. The moisture associated with this system
will be anomalously high...with precipitable waters near 2.00
inches. Rainfall could be very heavy with 2 to 3 inches falling
in a 12- to 18-hour period, mainly from before midnight Friday
night to just after noon on Saturday. The heaviest rain should
be from about I-95 Providence to Boston corridor, eastward to
Cape Cod and the Islands. The Euro has a max of 4 inches over
the Cape and Nantucket. Isolated thunderstorms are possible in
southeast MA and RI, where the K Index reaches 35-37. The 0-1km
helicity is 400-500 but low level CAPE is currently forecast to
be confined to the southeastern coastal waters. This will need
to be watched but right now any spinups should be confined to
the outer waters off of Nantucket. Rain ends from west to east
Sat afternoon. Depending on the track of the low pressure,
strong winds are possible along the coast... with southerly
gales likely over the southern and eastern coastal waters.
Again...this is subject to much change between now and Friday
and highly depends on the evolution of a potential tropical
system over the southeast U.S. Stay tuned.
Sunday...
Westerly winds bring dry, but very cold air into the region.
High temperatures are forecast to only reach the 40s west and
lower 50s east, as 850 mb temperatures plunge to -6C to -7C.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Forecaster Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
0045Z update:
Tonight: Moderate confidence.
Marginal Low-level Wind Shear added to BOS and PVD TAFs late
tonight for a few hours, as low level southwest jet of 40 kt
develops. This is contingent on surface winds dropping to below
10 kt, which is possible for a short time.
Previous discussion...
Ceilings lower to MVFR, possible IFR from ORH westward with
periods of light SHRA. Brief period MVFR ceilings possible
09-13z Mon for the eastern airports but think VFR would
predominate. SW gusts should ease to sustained winds 12-15 kt
with low-level wind shear still possible with less gustiness.
Monday: High confidence.
Sub-VFR ceilings become VFR 12-14z in the west, around 13-15z
for the eastern/coastal TAFs. SW winds shifting to W then WNW
later in afternoon. Gusts to 20-25 kt.
Monday Night: High confidence.
VFR. Breezy NW winds with surge of colder air, gusts 25-30 kt.
KBOS Terminal...High confidence in TAF.
KBDL Terminal...High confidence in TAF. Risk of unrestricted-
visby rain showers thru 20z but runways dry.
Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...
Tuesday through Tuesday Night: VFR. Breezy.
Wednesday: VFR.
Wednesday Night through Thursday Night: VFR. Breezy.
Veterans Day: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance RA.
&&
.MARINE...
Forecaster Confidence Levels:
Low - less than 30 percent.
Medium - 30 to 60 percent.
High - greater than 60 percent.
Overall high confidence.
745 PM update...
Boston Harbor and Narragansett Bay SCAs have been allowed to
expire at 7 PM. Otherwise, SCAs continue on most waters for
marginal 25 kt gusts on the eastern waters and along the
southern offshore waters for rising seas into the 5 ft range.
Winds still will run on the borderline SCA level into Monday, with
initial SW winds tonight becoming W on Monday.
While there are no headlines issued or extended into Monday night,
we`ll definitely need marine headlines for that given the
anticipated surge in colder air aloft and NW pressure gradient.
Thinking gusts will be in the strong SCA level (30-kt gust range)
Monday night, but it`s possible we could have gusts nearing Gale
force on the northern waters. After coordination with neighboring
offices, opted to refrain on hoisting gale watches and defer to
later-coming guidance before making that determination.
Outlook /Tuesday through Friday/...
Tuesday: Moderate risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 30 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.
Tuesday Night: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with
gusts up to 25 kt. Seas up to 5 ft.
Wednesday: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft.
Wednesday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Seas locally
approaching 5 ft.
Thursday: Low risk for Small Craft Advisory winds with gusts up
to 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching 5 ft.
Thursday Night: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas
approaching 5 ft.
Veterans Day: Winds less than 25 kt. Areas of seas approaching
5 ft. Chance of rain.

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...
.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Monday evening)
Issued at 1037 AM CST Sun Nov 6 2022
Weak west to southwesterly flow aloft with surface high pressure
to the north that will slowly shift east through the afternoon and
evening hours. Gusty north to northeast winds up to 20-30 mph will
turn more easterly overnight with the aforementioned high
pressure`s movement eastward diminishing with radiational cooling
to less than 10-15mph. Sunday afternoon high temperatures into
the low to mid 60s under ample sunshine with overnight lows
dropping mainly in the 30s, touching the freezing mark for
counties to the northwest into west central Kansas.
Monday will see increasing mid level clouds during the morning
time frame ahead of a shortwave that will propagate through the
CWA into the evening and overnight hours into Tuesday morning.
With increasing moisture with the southeast surface flow,
precipitation chances look to increase into south central
portions of the state and points east. The disturbance is pretty
progressive that will likely leave anything west of Hwy 183
corridor dry. Patchy fog cannot be ruled out for Monday morning
during the new work week`s commute but confidence low as the HRRR
is the only model picking up on any development for northwestern
counties with minimal visibility restrictions expected. Otherwise,
expect another similar afternoon Monday temperature wise with
high in the low to mid 60s once again. Not much to come in the
long term with mainly dry conditions and increasing wind and fire
danger to come mid week ahead of the next cold front to come late
Thursday.
.LONG TERM...(After midnight Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 1159 AM CST Sun Nov 6 2022
With upper level ridging building in across the Rockies and high
plains due to increasing divergence aloft, leeside troughing will
develop and deepen into the long term forecast Tuesday and
Wednesday. South to southwest winds expected to gust over 40 mph
increasing fire danger as well. Downsloping winds will aid in
afternoon high temperatures to push well into the 70s both
afternoons with morning low more mild into the 40s.
Wednesday night will see a disturbance propagate down the
aforementioned ridge that will see limited precipitation
potential with northwest flow aloft, increasing into central and
south central portions of the state and east to southeast from
there. More ample low level moisture will be had in that direction
with ample advection from the Gulf the further east for this
system to feed off of. Otherwise, expect the cold front to push
through Thursday morning and into the afternoon hours that will
inhibit as warm temperatures fluctuation from the low 60s to low
70s depending on the timing of FROPA. Being this far out, models
are not consistent on its timing. North winds can be had behind
the front not seeing any strong gusts at this point. Continued
cooler temperatures Friday and over next weekend with improved
skies with morning lows in 20s and afternoon highs struggling to
reach the 50 degree mark.
In essence, the dry and drought filled conditions will continue
with models showing no precipitation chances for most of the CWA,
except for the minor chances for eastern counties of south central
Kansas overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning. A cool and dry
trend will continue through mid to late month as long term
outlooks show this to be the pattern over the next couple of
weeks.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 427 PM CST Sun Nov 6 2022
VFR conditions will prevail in vicinity of all TAF sites through
early Monday. Light east-northeasterly winds will persist overnight
as surface high pressure edges east through the Northern Plains.
Winds will turn southeasterly 10 to 20kt mid/late Monday morning
as the surface high pushes farther east into the Upper Midwest.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Eureka CA
252 PM PST Sun Nov 6 2022
.SYNOPSIS...A potent cold storm system will bring snow to the
mountains and rain to valleys and coastal plain tonight through
Tuesday. Some thunderstorms with small hail are forecast tonight
through Tuesday. Drier weather is forecast for Wednesday through
Thursday, though isolated showers may linger on Wednesday. Another
front will approach on Friday and may bring more rain with snow
in the mountains next weekend.
&&
.DISCUSSION...Satellite imagery and surface analysis showed another
potent cold front progressing southeast along the central Oregon
coast this afternoon. Southerly winds have been gusting to 45 mph
over the Del Norte coastal headlands and higher terrain in
advance of this surface boundary. High resolution model guidance,
particularly the HRRR, has been consistently indicating a narrow
wavy line of high reflectivity developing this afternoon offshore
over the coastal waters and approaching the coast. 925mb S-SW
winds around 40-50kt support the potential for strong wind gusts
with this line of high reflectivity or squall by the late this
afternoon, followed perhaps by W-SW gusts (40 mph) or more into
early this evening after frontal passage.
So far precipitation across the area has been on the light side
with 12 hour totals around 0.10 to 0.30 in Del Norte county to a
tenth of less for northern Humbodlt. The precipitation rates will
increase this evening as the boundary sags southward. Locally heavy
rates from 0.30 to 0.50in/hr or probably for favorably upslope
regions of the Del North and Humboldt counties. Even the highest
rates from the HRRR are under hourly threshold for debris flow on
recent burn scars. We would hourly rates closer to 1 in/hour.
These high rain rains will taper off as the front heads southeast
into Mendocino and Lake counties later tonight.
Satellite imagery also showed an impressive field of open cell
cumulus convection trailing the cold front. Snow levels will fall
later tonight, around 3000-3500 feet, after frontal passage.
Higher elevations of Del Norte, northern Humboldt and Trinty
counties will receive a foot or more of snow by early Monday
morning. The forecast problem will lower elevations, below about
3000 feet. HRRR indicate snow levels 200 to 500 feet lower than
the multi-model guidance for location between 2500-3000 feet in
Del Norte and northern Humboldt counties. Advisory level snow
accumulation, 2-3 inches in 12 hours will be possible especially
for Collier Tunnel where multi-model guidance has a 60%
probability for an 1 inch. Probabilities for an inch of snow at
Berry Summit on 299 and on highway 36 around Dinsmore (2500-3000
ft) are 20-24%. Some wet heavy snow may accumulate on the roads at
these lower elevations tonight. For now, we highlighted this in
social media posts since there is a winter storm warning for heavy
snow above 3000 feet til 3 AM.
Unsettled weather conditions will continue for Monday through
Tuesday as a cold upper level trough slowly digs south over the
area. Snow showers will continue for the mountains, with snow
levels fluctuating around between 3000 to 4000 feet. Additional
snow warnings and/or advisories will likely be necessary after the
first dumping of snow in the mountains tonight. With 500mb
temperatures around -30C, CAPE around 200J/kg or less, steep
850mb-500mb lapse rates and low equilibrium levels, isolated
thunderstorms and small hail will remain a distinct possibility
especially on Monday or Monday night. SREF guidance continues to
indicate low probabilities for most the southern portion of the
forecast area, Mendocino and Lake counties on Tuesday.
The upper level trough/cold air aloft will begin to eject into
the Great Basin/Desert SW around mid week. Some showers due to
the lingering cold temperatures aloft and wrap around moisture
may occur on Wednesday. Ridging/warming aloft will start to build
into the area Wed night and Thu for the what looks like the best
opportunity to dry weather and freezing valleys temperatures and
coastal frost.
Forecast uncertainty increases Friday and over the weekend as
another trough approaches the Northern California coast from the
west. Ensemble clusters and deterministic models show considerable
variability with the timing, depth and progression of the 500mb
trough. We will probably see some more rain or mountain snow Friday
through Monday. How much, when exactly and for how long is up in
the air and error prone this far out.
&&
.AVIATION...A strong cold front is impacting the terminals this
afternoon. A line of rain and some thunderstorms is passing along
the front which is creating periods of heavy rainfall and mixing
down gusty southerly winds to the surface. The front will have
passed CEC soon after 23Z and ACV around 0Z to 01Z. Winds at the
surface have verified more SSE at ACV, thus LLWS will be present
until FROPA with winds aloft SSW at 40kt at 1500 AGL. A WSHT should
be expected with the FROPA. CCIGS have come down to IFR levels at
times with the rainfall. General MVFR CIGS are expected to be
maintain overnight with OCNL VFR while lingering isolated showers
stream in. Heights should range from generally the 2000 ft to 4000
ft range, with bouts of brief lowering with the more productive
showers. The front will impact UKI shortly with light to brief
moderate rainfall and CIGS getting into MVFR criteria before
conditions will improve after 6Z when the front passes.
&&
.MARINE...A passing front is creating gusty southerly winds along it,
especially in bands of convective showers and some thunderstorms
over the waters. Up to 40 kt gusts have been recorded in portions of
the northern waters. This activity will be progressing southward
through the southern waters the remainder of the afternoon and into
the evening.
Additionally, a solid mid period swell will start to build in tonight
and Monday peaking 16 to 18 feet at 15 seconds Monday evening.
Current guidance remains right on the threshold of haz seas, but
offshore buoys have confirmed modeled heights so current thinking
is that this will remain just shy of the 18 ft seas criteria. This
swell will then slowly decay into mid next week.

338 PM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday Morning)
Issued at 210 PM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
Zonal flow is dominating the plains currently with mid clouds
streaming eastward just north of the area. At the surface a high
pressure system was located over the Nebraska Panhandle where a cold
front is located. For the rest of the the day clear to partly cloudy
skies will persist with highs in the 50s to low 60s across the area
and lighter winds. Overnight winds will slower become ESE and remain
light. High clouds will move in from the SW as low temperatures fall
into the upper 20s over the east and low 30s over the west. Moisture
advection increases from the SE around sunrise which looks to lead
to low stratus developing and perhaps some fog. The HREF, HRRR and
CONSHORT are aggressive with the magnitude of the fog with dense
fog developing. My confidence in fog isn`t overall the highest
currently as winds are expected to be fairly breezy over the
western part of the area which typically doens`t support fog, but
perhaps with amount of moisture advection this can be realized.
The surface high as mentioned above looks to nose its way into
eastern portion of the area as well where the winds will be
lighter so did nudge the patchy fog in the forecast a bit more to
the east than what guidance is showing to account for this. I am
also a bit skeptical on the fog formation due to the overall dry
conditions which may limit the magnitude of the fog as well.
Overall, patchy fog has been added into the forecast.
Monday, guidance does actually show fog/stratus all day which would
limit how warm it actually does get so went with a blend of
ConShort/CONSMOS for highs. High temperatures are currently
forecasted in the upper 40s to mid 50s across the area but may be
cooler depending if the stratus does hold on all and the magnitude.
The prolonged cloud cover would also limit the wind gust potential,
sustained winds would still be breezy around 15-20 knots but would
essentially eliminate any 30+ knot gusts where the cloud cover
holds. Monday night and into Tuesday, guidance shows stratus and fog
potential again developing over the eastern portion of the area
which would keep low temperatures warmer int he upper 40s to low 50s
with western areas a bit cooler in the upper 30s to mid 40s.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 210 PM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
The extended period looks to be more active as a strong trough
develops over the SW CONUS. A rather dynamic pattern looks to
develop starting Tuesday. Moisture advection looks to be rather
strong on Tuesday with higher dew points from the Gulf of Mexico
moving into the area. Will need to keep an eye out for fog/stratus
potential Tuesday morning as well but with the breezy winds expected
overall confidence in being able to pin point any fog development at
this time is low so will not be introducing into the forecast.
Breezy to gusty winds look to develop during the day with gusts up
to 40 mph at times along with high temperatures in the low to mid
70s across the area. A shower or thunderstorm can`t be ruled out
over the eastern portion of the area during the late
afternoon/evening hours, however due to lack of obvious forcing
will leave the forecast dry.
Into mid week, gusty to windy conditions look to continue across
the area as the upper level trough begins to undergo cyclogenesis.
The overall track of the system remains in question as the ECMWF
develops the low over the Front Range and brings it to the north
of the area which is a favorable track for strong winds and dry
conditions. The GFS develops the low over the CWA which may lead
to the development of showers and storms, if this does verify then
couldnt rule out the potential for severe storms to occur due to
the moisture in place and forecast soundings suggesting strong
0-6km shear. Near critical to critical fire weather conditions
will need to be watch Tuesday and Wednesday across at least east
Colorado as gusty to windy conditions look to develop during the
afternoon and the potential for additional drying due to the
southwesterly winds. RH values are currently forecasted in the
upper teens; but these may change based on the track of the
system.
Wednesday night a strong cold front associated with the system
swings through the area causing a significant change to the
temperatures with temperatures falling throughout the day
Thursday. High temperatures Thursday range from the low 40s to mid
60s with possibly some high temperatures being set at midnight.
Cool temperatures will then continue into next weekend.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 334 PM MST Sun Nov 6 2022
Winds will slowly become ESE overnight as light winds less than 10
knots will persist. As winds become more SE moisture advection
begins to move into the area along with the nose of a ridge axis
into the northern portion of the area. Low Status/Fog looks to
develop around 12Z with the highest potential affecting KGLD;
can`t rule it out completely for KMCK at this point but
confidence is lower due to the expected moisture axis. Any
fog/stratus looks to dissipate mid to late morning with breezy to
gusty winds developing during the afternoon at each site.

.SHORT TERM...(Through Tonight)
Issued at 300 PM EST SUN NOV 6 2022
Water vapor imagery and RAP analysis show a weakening/opening up mid-
level low over southern Manitoba. Shortwave swinging around this
feature is currently moving across Lake Superior/Upper MI. This wave
generated some -shra this morning across portions of Upper MI. In
its wake, drier air is surging into the fcst area, resulting in
clearing skies, though daytime heating and caa are conspiring to
generate sct to ocnl bkn stratocu from far nw WI into western Upper
MI. With the appearance of the sun, temps have risen into the
upper 40s to mid 50s F.
Winds will be the main issue going forward into and thru tonight.
Sfc low pres over se Manitoba will open up into sfc troffing
across northern Ontario tonight. Tight pres gradient setting up
btwn the trof and sfc high pres ridging se into the Northern
Plains down to the Ohio Valley, pres rises approaching from the w
(center of max rise of 8-9mb/3hr moves along the International
Border from ND/Manitoba to MN/Ontario during the night), and caa
(850mb temps fall to around -7C) will set the stage for a very
windy night across Lake Superior and the Keweenaw. Models have
shown good consistency on this setup for the last couple of days,
and latest round of model runs shows no surprises. Fcst soundings
indicate efficient mixing thru winds ranging btwn 40-50kt over the
waters, extending across the Keweenaw. Initial sw low-level flow
thru late aftn and wsw flow this evening is not the ideal
direction to maximize wind potential on the Keweenaw, but winds
will steadily ramp up during this time. Peak wind time across the
Keweenaw will be overnight as winds veer to a more favorable
270-280 direction. It is also at this time that models show low-
level wind fields reaching their max. Expect peak wind gusts
across the Keweenaw to occur 06-12z when gusts could occasionally
approach 60mph. The strong westerly winds across western Lake
Superior will build large waves that will lead to beach
erosion/beach flooding on the Lake Superior beaches/shore along
the w wide of the Keweenaw. Overlake instability will be marginal
for any lake effect pcpn, and given the drier subcloud look on
fcst soundings, pcpn seems unlikely. However, there is pcpn
currently over ne ND/nw MN. The deeper moisture supporting this
activity may pass far enough s to support isold very light
shra/shsn development late tonight across the Keweenaw.
Elsewhere tonight, expect clear to partly cloudy skies. Winds will
generally gust 20-30mph thru the night west half and 15-25mph east.
Expect min temps in the mid 20s to mid 30s F, coolest interior w.

Calm, cool, and quiet weather settles across Upper MI on Monday then
the next surge of warmth and moisture begins on Tuesday. A warm
front stalls across the area Tuesday through Thursday night
resulting in several rounds of rain and thunderstorms too. Locally
heavy rainfall is increasingly likely with ensembles putting the
heaviest amounts across the western UP. A late week cold front
allows winter to make a comeback with snow chances returning on
Friday. Some snow accumulation should be expected next weekend
within the prevailing lake effect snow belts.
Breezy conditions subside Monday morning as surface ridging builds
east into our area. Westerly winds at 12z gradually veer
northwesterly on Monday, which should allow lake effect rain or snow
showers to move into our far eastern counties. Inversion heights
around 3kft and a dry sub-cloud layer suggests lake effect showers
will struggle to produce much QPF. However, lake effect clouds are
expected to be common along the Lake Superior shoreline. Surface
ridging Monday night suggests potential for cooling below NBM
guidance. At this time, the best chance for calm winds and clear
skies appears to be the eastern UP since mid and upper level clouds
and light southerly flow should be developing across the western UP.
The upper level pattern amplifies on Tuesday resulting in increasing
southerly winds, especially Tuesday night when a low level jet moves
overhead. The LLJ transports rich Gulf of Mexico moisture into our
area spelling the beginning of another rain storm. This LLJ
precedes an inverted trough tracking across Ontario toward James
Bay on Wednesday. Continued warm air advection and associated
isentropic ascent should lead to shower and perhaps thunderstorm
development late Tuesday night through Wednesday. As the inverted
trough lifts northeast, it`s trailing cold front stalls and
provides the baroclinic breeding grounds for a powerful storm
system expected to impact most of the Midwest Wednesday night
through at least Friday.
By midnight Thursday morning, pressure falls are expected across
northeastern CO with deep SW flow aimed at the UP. Ensemble surface
low tracks suggest the low occludes near the SD/ND/MN tri-state
before slowly moving east on Friday. The southern shoreline of
western Lake Superior appears to be a favored baroclinic zone for
this system leaving our CWA in the warm sector. Pwat values
exceeding 1" are likely across the UP and there`s good model
agreement for enough MUCAPE to justify including thunderstorms in
the forecast. Model soundings show an LLJ warm nose indicating any
thunderstorm activity will be elevated. Deep layer flow
approximately parallel to the warm front suggests potential for
training storms that will be capable of producing locally heavy
rainfall. While severe storms are not expected, strong thunderstorms
appear plausible given adequate deep-layer shear, some veering
with height, and CAPE approaching 1000 J/kg. The primary hazard
with any strong thunderstorms is small hail and heavy rain rates.
A much colder air mass fills in behind this low pressure system,
allowing wrap-around precipitation to transition from rain to snow.
With 850 mb temperatures cooling below -10C snowflakes should be
observed down to the lakeshores, but accumulation potential remains
unclear. Model soundings show the lake-induced inversion extending
into the DGZ so there`s some potential for fluffier snowfall.
Below normal temperatures and lake effect snow chances appear
likely to persist through the weekend and into next week. Winter
is coming!!!

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening)
Issued at 525 PM EST SUN NOV 6 2022
VFR will continue at IWD/SAW thru this fcst period. At CMX,
increasingly colder air flowing across the relatively warm waters of
Lake Superior will result in cigs slipping to high MVFR at CMX late
tonight into Mon afternoon. Winds will be a factor. Expect sw winds
to increase during the aftn with gusts reaching 25-30kt at IWD/SAW
and 30-35kt at CMX. Tonight, gusts at SAW will be around 25kt, at
IWD 30-35kt and at CMX around 45kt. Winds will begin to diminish Mon
morning.

.MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance)
Issued at 253 PM EST SUN NOV 6 2022
Winds are already ramping up across western Lake Superior this
afternoon and are expected to continue increasing this evening and
overnight. Strong cold air advection and pressure rises support high
end southwesterly gales across the western lake this evening that
veer westerly while spreading eastward across Lake Superior. Some
storm force gusts should be expected, particularly after midnight
across south-central portions of the lake near the Keweenaw.
Winds subside from west to east on Monday and look to be below 20kts
lake-wide by Monday evening. The calmer conditions persist into
Tuesday, but southeast winds increase to around 25kts across eastern
Lake Superior by Tuesday evening when an LLJ moves overhead.
Southerly winds decrease below 20 knots from west to east on
Wednesday, but a low developing on the Central Plains appears likely
to bring another round of northeasterly gales -if not storms- late
Thursday into Friday.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday Night)
Issued at 138 PM CST Sun Nov 6 2022
Satellite imagery this afternoon shows clouds spreading back
northward across the area, with radar indicating an area of light
rain moving northeastward through the midstate. Have adjusted pop
through this evening based on the latest HRRR model, but most
areas should be precip-free by early this evening. Late this
evening and overnight, 12Z models and CAMs all show more
widespread showers breaking out throughout the area, which will
then shift slowly southward into Monday morning as the stalled
frontal boundary gets a nudge. Precip chances have been raised
significantly for tonight with chance to likely pops, and
additional rainfall amounts up to one quarter inch are possible.
In addition to the showers, ample low level moisture, light winds,
and the stalled front should all combine to produce widespread
fog tonight - and it could be dense in some areas. Area will dry
out by Monday afternoon with highs warming up well into the 70s
once again.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 138 PM CST Sun Nov 6 2022
Tuesday through Thursday looks dry and quite warm with highs in
the 70s and 40s/50s thanks to a strong upper level ridge building
overhead. These temperatures are around 10 to 20 degrees above
normal for this time of year. 12Z models continue to show a
tropical cyclone developing off the east Florida coast that moves
westward across the state later this week, and moisture wrapping
around the northern side of the system could bring some showers to
our eastern counties on Friday. Late Friday into Friday night, a
strong cold front will sweep through the region bringing gusty
northwest winds and a much colder and drier airmass into the
midstate, with lows dropping into the 30s Saturday morning and 20s
Sunday morning. After a week of much above normal temperatures,
looks like we will have to pay the piper with much below average
temps for next weekend into the early part of the following week.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 524 PM CST Sun Nov 6 2022
Stationary boundary to remain draped across the mid state through
tonight. Low level moisture will be in place and with some added
isentropic upglide, periods of shower activity are expected
overnight and into Monday. Dewpoints are notably lower across far
northern middle TN, but the soupier dewpoints should prevail
through the taf period for the taf areas. Some advection fog may
occur so look for some vsby reductions toward and through 12Z
especially. Otw, cigs will also chime in and be within the IFR
range as well.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pendleton OR
719 PM PST Sun Nov 6 2022
.UPDATE...Center of the closed low is currently off the coast of NW
Washington and slowly moving southward. This has a slow moving cold
front stretching from SW Oregon up into eastern Washington at this
time. Area radars show a band of precipitation along the front. This
has been mainly impacting the western portion of the forecast area
through the evening with some rain and snow. Snow levels have ranged
from around 2500 feet in the central and southern WA Cascades to
around 4000 feet in central Oregon. These snow levels will lower
another 1000 feet overnight with precipitation changing over to
showers. The front will move into the eastern portion of the
forecast area overnight spreading precipitation into that region and
then exit into Idaho Monday morning. Eastern mountain snow levels
will begin falling overnight reaching 2000 to 3000 feet Monday
morning allowing for some light accumulations. Made some
adjustments to increase POPs and QPF, increase southerly winds over
the eastern mountains and raise overnight lows across the eastern
portion of the forecast area.
.SHORT TERM...Sunday through Tuesday...A broad, deepening low
pressure system will orient the flow aloft more SW throughout the
day today, causing the current mountain snow threat to shift more
toward the OR Cascades, as well as bring a band of light precip
eastward across the rest of the CWA. Latest radar imagery showing
showers developing in the WA Basin, while snow starts to pick up
across the OR Cascade crests. Winter Weather Advisory remains in
effect across the OR Cascades through this evening. Still
expecting most snowfall impacts to occur over 4000 ft at pass
level and in the crests for OR, while WA has now seen the bulk of
its snowfall with the main moisture transport axis shifting more
southward.
With the flow shifting SW ahead of the deepening low, winds have
picked up across the forecast area, particularly in central OR along
with the Grande Ronde Valley and downslope from the Blues. Seeing
gusts up to 40 mph across these areas, but feel that impacts are
isolated enough and that winds should decrease later today to
preclude any headlines. The center of this deepening low will start
to move overhead heading into Monday, allowing for winds to slacken
as colder, drier air advects in.
Latest HRRR guidance still showing a band of showers rolling through
the CWA beginning around 5 PM near the foothills of the Cascades,
spreading eastward into the overnight hours. Precip still looks
pretty light, even in the eastern mountains, so not expecting
anything too impactful for the rest of the day Sunday east of the
Cascades. For the start of the work week, models show light
precip chances across most of our mountain zones, shifting toward
the southern mountains of our CWA heading into Tuesday as the low
continues to deepen into the Great Basin, shifting its moisture
advection belt more southward. QPF ensembles coming up on the
light end of precip, as more favorable moisture transport falls
more east and south of our area. Net effect will primarily be the
beginning of a cold spell, as dry and cold northerly air seeps in
with this deepening low. Highs by Tuesday will struggle to eclipse
40 degrees, even in the lower Basin, with overnight lows falling
into the teens and 20s across the forecast area heading into
Wednesday morning. Evans/74
.LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday...Very little has
changed in the forecast since yesterday. Mostly dry conditions are
expected through the period with the main concerns being well-below-
normal temperatures across the Inland Northwest, and a slight chance
of low-elevation wrap-around snow Wednesday morning.
Wednesday, ensembles and current 12Z deterministic runs, are in very
good, though not excellent, agreement regarding the placement of a
cut-off upper-level low moving onshore into SW OR or NW CA. Ensemble
cluster analysis reveals the main source of uncertainty, accounting
for 40% of the variance among members, is the longitudinal
placement/progression of the low. A secondary source of uncertainty,
accounting for 19% of the variance, is how far the low will dig
south. Much like yesterday, the ECMWF/EPS is continuing to advertise
a slightly more northerly placement than the GFS/GEFS, though now
the Canadian/CMC is in better agreement with the ECMWF/EPS. This
solution is slightly favored by ensembles (56% of overall members)
and would allow slight chances of snow across much of eastern Oregon
and far southeast Washington, for all elevations, before the low
tracks northeast into the Intermountain West and out of our CWA
through Wednesday evening. The ECMWF EFI for snowfall is low (0.5-
0.7) across the region, indicative of low agreement among members in
an unusual event, but SoT is 1-8 across the Columbia Basin and
foothills of the Blue Mountains. This implies some members are
forecasting rather extreme snowfall totals relative to climatology.
Precipitation chances will taper off through the evening Wednesday
as the upper-level low ejects east into the Intermountain West.
Unseasonably cold temperatures will be the main concern through the
remainder of the period. The ECMWF EFI is between -0.7 and -0.9
across our forecast area Wednesday through Saturday. Cloud cover
will play a significant role in temperatures, especially if low-
level stratus can set up across the Columbia Basin. That said, below-
normal temperatures are very likely (90% chance), and the NBM is
currently suggesting 10-20 degrees below normal.
Thursday through Friday, upper-level ridging is suggested by
ensemble means across the Pacific Northwest. However, the favored
solution among ensemble clusters (38% of members) and the 12Z
deterministic ECMWF do show some shortwave troughing which may
suppress the ridging through Friday.
Ensembles still indicate significant uncertainty in the longwave
pattern heading into the weekend, particularly regarding the
potential breakdown of the upper-level ridge and an incoming closed
low in the Pacific. Some members bring the low onshore into Oregon
and California, while others advertise the ridge persisting through
the weekend. Plunkett/86

.AVIATION...00Z TAFs...Later this afternoon through the evening,
conditions are forecast to degrade to MVFR as lowering ceilings and
-RA impact most terminals, with -SN at BDN/RDM and possibly a mix at
YKM. HREF probabilities indicate low chances of IFR conditions (<10%
for PDT/DLS/YKM/ALW/PSC; 20-30% chance for BDN/RDM) this afternoon
and evening as the band of precipitation goes through. Winds are
forecast to be around 10 kts or less through the period, except for
BDN/RDM/ALW which will see some southerly gusts to around 25-35 kts
at BDN/RDM and 20 kts at ALW through the evening. Plunkett/86
