AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
243 AM PDT WED MAR 23 2011

.DISCUSSION...

THE FOCUS OF EFFORT THIS MORNING CONTINUES TO BE ON THE DEVELOPING
WINTER STORM(S) FOR THE MOUNTAINS OF NRN CA. THE FIRST SYSTEM IS
NOW WRAPPING UP JUST OFFSHORE WITH THE SECOND HOT ON ITS HEELS OUT
AROUND 140W. RAPIDLY COOLING CLOUD TOPS ARE EVIDENT EAST OF THE
FIRST LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER MUCH OF NRN CA ON IR SATELLITE ATM
AND INTENSIFYING RADAR ECHOES ARE PUSHING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
STATE. QPF WITH THIS FIRST WAVE WILL BE HEAVY OVER THE SISKYOUS,
TRINITIES, AND MOUNT SHASTA AND THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHERE SNOW
LEVELS WILL END UP. CURRENT SFC TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS INDICATE FZ
LEVELS ACROSS SISKYOU COUNTY ARE AROUND 4KFT WHICH IMPLIES A SNOW
LEVEL AROUND 3000 FT. SNOW LEVELS WILL CERTAINLY BE LOWERED TO
3KFT AND PERHAPS EVEN LOWER DURING THE HEAVIEST PRECIP TODAY WHICH
COULD EASILY EXCEED 1 IN/HR SNOWFALL RATES FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT.
WHILE THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS STILL EXPECTED IN THE SHASTA AREA, QPF
GRIDS HAVE ALSO YIELDED WARNING SNOW AMOUNTS WITH THIS FIRST WAVE
OVER WRN SISKYOU COUNTY. WHILE THERE MAY BE A FEW HR PERIOD
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WHERE SNOW RATES DECREASE CONSIDERABLY, THE NEXT
SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING IN PRETTY RAPIDLY TOMORROW MORNING. THIS
SECOND WAVE WILL COME IN A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH AND WILL LIKELY
PRODUCE EVEN HEAVIER SNOWFALL OVER MUCH THE SAME AREA TOMORROW
AFTERNOON THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. FOR CLARITY'S SAKE, I DECIDED
JUST TO COVER THE WHOLE EVENT WITH ONE WARNING. WHEN ALL IS SAID
AND DONE, MOST AREAS ABOVE 3KFT IN SISKYOU COUNTY WILL HAVE
ONE TO TWO FEET OF SNOW.

FOR THE CA EAST SIDE AND OREGON, THIS WILL BE LESS OF AN EVENT.
STILL HAVE FAIRLY HIGH POPS FOR MANY LOCATIONS OVER THE NEXT 48
HRS, BUT QPFS ARE MUCH LESS IMPRESSIVE. THAT SAID, GRIDS HAVE
YIELDED WARNING SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE KALMIOPSIS MOUNTAINS WITH THE
SECOND WAVE TOMORROW AND TOMORROW NIGHT. GIVEN THAT THIS OCCURS
OVER THE PEAKS AND IS EXPECTED TO BE WELL ABOVE THE ROAD SFCS AND
THUS PRODUCE NO IMPACTS, DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE ANY HIGHLIGHTS. IT
WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET PRECIP GOING IN THE POPULATION CENTERS
(THE ROGUE VALLEY IN PARTICULAR) AS DOWNSLOPE EFFECTS DOMINATE
OVER OREGON. IN MEDFORD, WE MAY NOT SEE ANY PRECIPITATION REACH
THE VALLEY UNTIL TONIGHT, SO I LOWERED POPS CONSIDERABLY FOR
TODAY.

YET ANOTHER TROUGH LOOKS TO BE IN THE OFFING FOR SW OR/NRN CA OVER
THE WEEKEND. THIS LOOKS MORE TRADITIONAL AND WILL PROBABLY HIT THE
CASCADES MORE THAN CA THIS TIME. THE PROCESSION CONTINUES WITH
ANOTHER TROUGH/FRONT MON NIGHT AND TUE AND ALTHOUGH IT'S A WAYS
OUT, THIS ONE COULD BE PRETTY COLD. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS STRING
OF COOL WET WEATHER LOOKS LIKELY TO CONTINUE. -WRIGHT

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDS EXPECTED AT ALL SW OR TERMINALS TODAY. A
LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS OFF THE NRN CA COAST THIS AM. THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THE PRECIP WILL REMAIN OVER CA TODAY, WITH
DOWNSLOPE KEEPING KMFR/KLMT DRY. -RA WILL DEVELOP THIS AM INVOF
KOTH/KRBG, BUT NOT EXPECTING ANY CONDS BELOW VFR UNTIL TONIGHT
WHEN THE TROUGH MOVES INLAND AND DOWNSLOPE WEAKENS.
