.AVIATION...
Westerly surface winds will create upslope stratus along the
crests of the Cascades this morning, as light west to northwest
winds prevail across the area to the east of the range. GOES
Nighttime microphysics RGB is showing patchy stratus east and
south of BDN and RDM into central Oregon. HRRR dewpoint surface
depression trends stay dry with double digit spreads through the
early morning hours, whereas BDN and RDM might have a better shot
at some stratus development with smaller spreads (2-3 degrees) by
13-16z. Considerable HREF probability of ceilings less than 2,000
and 1,000 feet are fairly well removed from the terminal
vicinities, mostly over the higher terrain Saturday morning, so
any stratus near the BDN and RDM terminals will lean VFR to MVFR.
Expect winds light and variable even into the afternoon, but for
DLS where 24-28 knot gusts will be common in the afternoon. /OTX
