AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
901 PM PST WED DEC 10 2008

.DISCUSSION...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS PATCHY FOG IS FORMING IN THE
GRANTS PASS AREA. OTHERWISE A FEW CIRRUS HIGH CLOUDS ARE MOVING
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE COASTAL TROUGH EXTENDING NORTH
PAST REEDSPORT. THE TROUGH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GUSTY NORTH WINDS IN
THE COASTAL WATERS OVERNIGHT.

THE MAIN CONCERN SHIFTS TO FRIDAY WITH A DEVELOPING STORM EXPECTED
TO BRING A MUCH COLDER AIR MASS TO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. LATEST
MODEL RUNS CONTINUE WITH THIS TREND AND THE NAM-12 INTRODUCED A
MUCH HIGHER PRECIPITATION AMOUNT ACROSS THE CASCADES FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS LOOK REASONABLE GIVEN A STRONG NORTHWEST TO
WEST FLOW PROVIDING AN UPSLOPE COMPONENT. SNOW LEVEL IS ALSO
EXPECTED TO LOWER TO NEAR 1000 FEET FRIDAY NIGHT AND WILL PRESENT
A MAJOR TRAVEL PROBLEM ACROSS THE PASSES. MID SHIFT FORECASTER
WILL BE EVALUATING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND A WATCH
MAY BE NEEDED.

.AVIATION...PATCHY MVFR VIS EXPECTED TONIGHT IN WESTERN VALLEYS
AROUND DAYBREAK WITH VFR AT THE COAST.
