AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
855 AM PST WED JAN 2 2008

.DISCUSSION...VERY SHARPLY DEFINED FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS MORNING
WITH PRECIPITATION WEST OF A ROSEBURG TO BROOKINGS LINE. VALLEYS
EAST OF THIS LINE ARE IN THE 20S WEST OF THE CASCADES AND THE TEENS
EAST OF THE CASCADES. ALL OF THIS IS IN LINE WITH CURRENT FORECAST
AND WILL NOT UPDATE THIS MORNING.

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

CURRENTLY THE LONGWAVE UPPER TROUGH IS OFFSHORE AROUND 140W AND A
FAIRLY STRONG RIDGE IS OVER THE WESTERN US. THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
IS UNDER STRENGTHENING SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...A GENERALLY STORMY
PATTERN FOR THIS AREA. THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL BE SLOWLY
PROGRESSIVE AND THE LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL FINALLY MOVE ONSHORE
SUNDAY. HOWEVER...THERE IS A WHOLE LOTTA WEATHER TO BE HAD BETWEEN
NOW AND THEN.

MOST OF THE VARIABILITY IN THE WEATHER WILL BE PROVIDED BY SHORT
WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE OFFSHORE TROUGH. THE FIRST OF THE SHORT
WAVES WILL ARRIVE LATER THIS MORNING...BUT IT WILL BE PRETTY WEAK.
THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE AND BRING SOME RAIN TO
THE COAST...BUT IT WILL BECOME PARALLEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW
THIS AFTERNOON AND STALL. IT WILL WEAKEN IN PLACE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

ANOTHER STRONGER SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE ONSHORE THURSDAY
MORNING...AND THIS WILL BRING IN A STRONGER FRONT WITH IT...AND
THE POSSIBILITY OF HIGH WINDS ALONG THE COAST THURSDAY MORNING AND
IN THE SHASTA VALLEY FROM MID-MORNING THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
EVENING. A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE AREAS AND
WILL KEEP THOSE GOING.

SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIMITED TO THE COASTAL AREAS
AND OCCASIONALLY THE UMPQUA BASIN THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...AND
NEARLY ALL OF IT WILL BE RAIN.  HEAVIER PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE
FARTHER INLAND WITH THE SECOND FRONT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS IT WILL
BE ENHANCED BY ANOTHER SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE TROUGH. THIS
WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF A MAJOR WINTER STORM EVENT FOR WESTERN
AND CENTRAL SISKIYOU COUNTY. HEAVIER SNOWFALL WILL COMMENCE
THURSDAY NIGHT AS STILL ANOTHER APPROACHING SHORT WAVE INTENSIFIES
THE STORM. SNOW LEVELS WILL INITIALLY BE AROUND 4000
FEET...LOWERING TO 3500 FEET BY THURSDAY NIGHT. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
WILL BE MEASURED IN FEET RATHER THAN INCHES OVER SISKIYOU
COUNTY. THE HEAVY SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY AND START TO
DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SNOW LEVELS IN THE 3500 TO 4500 FOOT
RANGE. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS WILL STILL FALL FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SNOW
LEVELS DROPPING TO 2500 FEET. STORM TOTALS COULD EXCEED FIVE FEET
OF SNOW THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL
SISKIYOU COUNTY. THE CASCADES WILL SEE OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SNOW
THURSDAY NIGHT BUT HEAVIER SNOW WILL FALL THERE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE WESTERLY...OPTIMIZING OROGRAPHIC
LIFT. THE KALMIOPSIS WILDERNESS AREA WILL ALSO SEE A LOT OF
SNOW...BUT SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN TOO HIGH IN THAT AREA TO ISSUE
ANY WATCHES/WARNINGS THERE.

WINTER STORM WATCHES WILL BE ISSUED LATER THIS MORNING FOR
CALIFORNIA ZONES CAZ080/082/083 AS WELL AS OREGON ZONES
ORZ025/027/028.

COLDER AIR WILL MOVE IN FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND SNOW
LEVELS WILL DROP AROUND 1000 FEET SATURDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL STILL
BE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION AROUND AS SHORT WAVES WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA...SO A SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL SNOW EVENT
MAY OCCUR THIS WEEKEND.

THE UPPER TROUGH WILL FINALLY MOVE INLAND SUNDAY AND SNOW LEVELS
WILL HEAD BACK UP AS A RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. THE MODELS ARE
IN A BIT OF DISAGREEMENT FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK WITH THE
ENSEMBLE AND ECMWF SHOWING WEAK RIDGE TO ZONAL FLOW...INDICATING
THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTINUED WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGES.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL INLAND WITH STRONG SOUTH
WINDS
OVER THE RIDGES. AREAS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE
COAST
LATER THIS MORNING AS A FRONT MOVES ONSHORE.
