Modest westerlies confined to Jones Beach and the western Gorge tomorrow and Monday. Stout westerlies return for the Corridor Tuesday.

The Pacific Northwest will continue to be dominated by an increasingly stronger upper high pressure ridge, which brings progressively hotter temperatures while winds struggle a bit. On Sunday, sites east of the Dalles heat up to mid 90's with mid to upper 80's for Portland and Hood River. Meanwhile, the North Pacific High remains flummoxed and weakened by this pattern. Hence, westerly gradients are weakened but winds stay westerly and the mild thermal gradient allows for Jones Beach to reach low 20's with Stevenson and the Corridor reaching near 20 with spotty low 20's a possibility. On Monday, the upper low over the Gulf of Alaska will weaken and the thermal trough expands toward Portland. With high temperatures approaching 90F in Portland the westerly gradients falter. The afternoon westerly push is muted with only Jones Beach reaching near 20. On Tuesday, though, the North Pacific High looks to restrengthen and push back toward the coast behind a weak boundary that only clips the Pacific Northwest. But it will be enough to push the upper ridge eastward. This favors a stout westerly blast for the Corridor with Jones Beach and Stevenson just behind and Doug's building late.

Temperatures heat up with Portland reaching upper 80's and sites east of the Dalles into the mid 90's. Jones Beach reaching W to WNW near to low 20's, Stevenson and the Corridor maybe reaching afternoon westerlies to 20 and an outside chance for faint low 20's, but most likely just seeing upper teens. The Near East reaching mid to faint upper teens. The East seeing sub to low teens. The North and Central Coast reach NW mid to maybe upper teens and the South Coast reaches NW low 20's.

The upper ridge continues to strengthen its grip. Jones Beach reaching W to WNW near to faint low 20's. Stevenson and the Corridor probably seeing upper teen to maybe 20 westerly peaks. The Near East seeing mid teens. The East likely seeing single digits winds. The North and Central Coast reach low 20's and the South Coast reaching NNW mid 20's or more.

The heat remains, but westerlies rush back in. Jones Beach reaching WNW probably mid 20's, Stevenson reaching W mid to faint upper 20's, the Corridor reaching upper 20's. The Near East probably reaching mid to maybe upper 20's LATE. The East building to upper teens to maybe low 20's around dusk. The North and Central Coast reaching NW low 20's and the South Coast reaching NNW mid to maybe upper 20's.

Thanks!

Southern Coast looks great from Sunday on according to the MM5/BWD forecast. Magic Seaweed looks like medium swell all week. Wish I could go back down.
