AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
846 AM PST FRI DEC 19 2008

.DISCUSSION...POST FRONTAL SHOWERS REMAIN IN ONSHORE FLOW BEHIND THE
SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT MODERATE SNOW TO MOST OF THE REGION. THESE
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY WITH SNOW LEVELS RISING
SLIGHTLY AND SLOWLY. WITH CURRENT TEMPERATURES NEAR FORECAST HIGHS
AND SHOWER PROVIDING MIXING WILL RAISE TEMPERATURES AND SNOW LEVELS
TO A LITTLE BELOW 850 SUPPORTED TEMPS.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE TODAY
HOWEVER MANY ROADS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ICY. THE COLD FRONT WILL
SHIFT SOUTH AND EAST OUT OF OUR REGION BY LATE MORNING AND THE UPPER
LEVEL COLD TROUGH AXIS IS ALREADY SLIGHTLY EAST OF OUR AREA. SO
SNOWFALL SHOULD BE LESS THAN AN INCH TODAY BELOW 3000 FEET AND THE
ADVISORY FOR SOUTHWEST OREGON WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. EAST OF THE
CASCADES WHERE THERE IS STRONGER FORCING ONLY A FEW INCHES WILL FALL
SO THE ADVISORY THERE WILL ALSO GO GENTLY INTO THE NIGHT.

SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH LOW SNOW LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT.
SATURDAY SNOW LEVELS RISE AS A WARM FRONT PUSHES IN WITH LIGHT
PRECIPITATION. SATURDAY NIGHT THE SNOW LEVELS WILL BE ABOUT 3000
FEET WITH SNOW AMOUNTS AROUND 6 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS IN THE
OVER NIGHT PERIOD.

SUNDAY THE SNOW SPREADS OVER THE EAST SIDE PROBABLY WITH 3 TO
5 INCH AMOUNTS THEN THE COLD FRONT PUSHES IN SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING
SNOW LEVELS DOWN TO ABOUT 2000 FEET. BY THEN THOUGH SNOW FALL WILL
BE LIMITED SINCE ONLY LIGHT SHOWERS WILL BE BEHIND THE FRONT.
THEY WILL BE NUMEROUS THOUGH THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY.

THERE WILL BE A BRIEF HALT IN THE ACTIVITY MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY MORNING. TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING A FAST MOVING
WARM FRONT ARRIVES FOLLOWED BY A COLD AND SNOWY LOW WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...WITH THE COLD FRONT IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF OUR
AREA AND THE COLD TROUGH AXIS NOW JUST EAST OF OUR REGION SHOWERS
WILL DIMINISH THIS MORNING. THIS MEANS MOST VALLEYS WILL BE VFR
EXCEPT FOR MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS WHILE MOUNTAINS WILL CONTINUE TO
BE OBSCURED EARLY THIS MORNING. HOWEVER CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE
TO VFR EVERYWHERE BY AFTERNOON EXCEPT FOR MVFR IN ISOLATED
SHOWERS.
