PORTLAND, Ore. — Heavy precipitation is expected to return to northwest Oregon starting Wednesday and could stick around for a long time. For the mountains, that will mean a large fresh helping of snow, but in the Portland metro area and Willamette Valley, it just means a whole lot of rain. "Weather models actually show an active, colder and wetter than normal pattern continuing through the first 10 days of April with a number of weather fronts expected," said KGW meteorologist Rod Hill.

PORTLAND, Oregon — This year's winter outlook is based on a so-called cool-neutral cycle, or a weak La Niña. A La Niña is based on cooler than normal water temperatures near the equator off the coast of South America. A neutral cycle means water temperatures are near normal. While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been projecting a La Niña winter, at the time of this forecast, La Niña has still not arrived but may do so during the month of November.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center is predicting a weak La Niña will emerge this fall and will persist through the winter. La Niña winters for Portland statistically favor cooler than normal temperatures with a good Cascade snowpack and near normal to above valley rainfall. The flow pattern is typically active with the jet stream entering the Pacific Northwest, bringing a high number of weather systems delivering precipitation.

As the campaigning for the October 21 election continues, the outcome remains unpredictable. Opinion polls suggest that one or none of the major parties could get a majority in the Legislative Assembly. But one thing is not in doubt: the resulting seats in the Legislative Assembly will not reflect the preferences of the voters.
