AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
100 AM PST MON MAR 27 2006

.DISCUSSION...00Z NGM/NAM/GFS IN.

A QUIET NIGHT WEATHERWISE OVER THE MEDFORD CWA WITH SCATTERED HIGH
CLOUDS AND LIGHT WINDS.  A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS CURRENTLY OVER
THE AREA.

ALL THIS WILL CHANGE BY MONDAY NIGHT THOUGH.  THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
MOVE TO THE EAST LATER TONIGHT AND FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST
AND INCREASE.  THIS WILL BRING IN SOME MORE CLOUD COVER TODAY.

AN UPSTREAM UPPER TROUGH...NOW AROUND 140W...WILL SHEAR AS IT MOVES
EASTWARD AND A CUTOFF LOW WILL FORM THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 40N 130W.
THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE TONIGHT FROM THE SOUTHWEST...
SPREADING PRECIPITATION THE MEDFORD CWA BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY.  THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL SISKIYOU
COUNTY AS WELL AS THE OREGON SOUTH COAST WHILE THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA WILL SEE LESS COVERAGE AND LIGHTER AMOUNTS. NESDIS HAS EXPRESSED
CONCERN ABOUT THE PRECIPITATION RATES BEING SHOWN BY SATELLITE
IMAGERY.  ALSO...THIS PATTERN IS FAVORABLE FOR STRONG WINDS IN THE
SHASTA AND ROGUE VALLEYS TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

WILL GO WITH AN INITIAL SNOW LEVEL OF 4500 FEET TONIGHT...DROPPING TO
3500 FEET TUESDAY AS THE WARMER AIR IS SHUNTED OFF TO THE EAST....AND
TO 3000 FEET TUESDAY NIGHT.  THESE LEVELS AND THE PROJECTED SNOWFALL
AND STRONG WINDS WILL NECESSITATE A WINTER STORM WARNING ABOVE 4500
FEET TONIGHT FOR CALIFORNIA ZONES CAZ080/082...LOWERING TO 3000 FEET
TUESDAY.  WILL ALSO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SHASTA AND ROGUE
VALLEYS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY MORNING. SNOW ADVISORY
AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED OVER CAZ080/082 TUESDAY NIGHT.

THE CUTOFF LOW ITSELF WILL LIFT BACK INTO THE WESTERLIES AS IT MOVES
ONSHORE TUESDAY AFTERNOON...SO IT WILL TREK RIGHT THROUGH THE
MEDFORD CWA.  SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE LOW EXITS THE AREA...
AND THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL OCCUR WEDNESDAY MORNING.

AN UPPER RIDGE WILL THEN BUILD OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...
THEN BREAK TO THE EAST BY THURSDAY MORNING...SO THE BREAK WILL BE
SHORT-LIVED...FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE WEATHER LOOKS UNSETTLED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS A SERIES
OF LOWS ROTATING AROUND AN ALASKAN LOW WILL MOVE ONSHORE OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST.  ONE WILL MOVE IN FRIDAY NIGHT...AND ANOTHER ONE
MONDAY.  LOOKS LIKE CHANCE POPS WEST OF THE CASCADES AND
CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO THE EAST IS THE WAY TO GO FROM THURSDAY
NIGHT ON.
