AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
200 PM PST MON JAN 10 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE DENSE FOG FROM EARLIER
THIS MORNING DIMINISHED ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA/S VALLEYS THIS
AFTERNOON. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT BEFORE A WARM FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
SOUTHWEST LATE TONIGHT. MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS AHEAD OF THIS WARM
FRONT WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO THE CWA EARLY TONIGHT BUT THINK FOG AND
FREEZING FOG WILL FORM FOR A TIME IN THE WESTERN VALLEYS TONIGHT
BEFORE THE WARM FRONT ARRIVES.

DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE MODELS WHEN TIMING THE ARRIVAL OF THE WARM
FRONT/S PRECIPITATION. THE NAM IS CONSIDERABLY SLOWER THAN THE REST
OF THE MODELS WITH PRECIPITATION NOT ARRIVING UNTIL MIDDAY TUESDAY.
MEANWHILE...MOST OF THE OTHER MODELS SUGGEST PRECIPITATION WOULD
ARRIVE IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON TUESDAY IN SOUTHWESTERN
LOCATIONS AND SPREAD NORTHEAST. WE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM
AND THINK PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO ARRIVE AROUND SUNRISE. LOW
TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO BE CRITICAL TONIGHT WITH REGARDS TO THE
ARRIVAL TIME OF THE PRECIPITATION. MOST INLAND LOCATIONS TONIGHT
WILL DROP TO NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING...BUT THAT MAY OCCUR EARLY ON
BEFORE THE CLOUD COVER THICKENS AND LOWERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AS A
RESULT...THERE EXISTS THE POSSIBILITY THAT COLDER VALLEYS WILL
RECEIVE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW OR FREEZING RAIN AT THE START OF
PRECIPITATION BEFORE SNOW LEVELS BEGIN TO RISE ON THE WEST SIDE
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW TOTALS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT ACROSS THE
AREA WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OCCURRING ACROSS WESTERN SISKIYOU
COUNTY ABOVE 3000 FEET AND INTO THE CASCADES/SISKIYOU
MTNS...AMOUNTING TO ABOUT 3 INCHES LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. ONLY AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW IS EXPECTED ABOVE 1500 FEET ON
THE WEST SIDE. WE EXPECT TO HIGHLIGHT THIS WITH A SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENT. IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE ROGUE AND
SHASTA VALLEYS TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT BUT LOOK TO REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME.

THE WARM FRONT WILL BE WELL NORTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. A MOIST
ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY BUT SNOW
LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE BEHIND THE FRONT. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT
SHORTWAVE WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY BEFORE LIFTING
NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT.   MW

.LONG TERM...BOTH THE GFS/ECMWF MODELS SHOW THE 500MB RIDGE POSITION
