AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
852 AM PST SUN NOV 20 2011

.DISCUSSION...THE LOW PRESSURE HAS MOVED INTO THE TAHOE AREA THIS
MORNING. THE LOW MANAGED TO SEND WRAPPED AROUND MOISTURE FAR
ENOUGH NORTH TO PRODUCE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHERN MODOC COUNTY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TODAY AND WILL REMAIN OVER
OUR FORECAST AREA THROUGH MONDAY. THE LATEST MODEL RUNS CONTINUE
TO SHOW A STRONG FRONT MOVING INTO THE COASTAL WATERS TUESDAY THEN
STALLING THERE FOR A FEW DAYS. LONG FETCH AND STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENTS WILL LEAD TO GUSTY WINDS AND HAZARDOUS SEAS IN THE
COASTAL WATERS. GUSTY WINDS WILL MOVE INLAND MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY.

HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS FOR PATCHY FOG AND DECREASED SKY COVER TODAY.

&&

.AVIATION...LCL IFR CIGS FROM FOG IS BURNING OFF RAPIDLY. EXPECT
CONDITIONS TO LIFT TO VFR BY 18Z. AREAS OF SNOW THIS MORNING IN
EASTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY AND SOUTHERN MODOC COUNTY COULD BRING CIGS
AND VIS DOWN TO MVFR AT TIMES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 119 AM PST SUN NOV 20 2011/

DISCUSSION...20/00Z NAM/GFS IN.

A COMPLICATED WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

A TROUGH JUST OFF THE COAST IS NOW SHEARING AS IT APPROACHES THE
COAST TONIGHT...AND A CUTOFF LOW IS FORMING OFF THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST. THE PRECIPITATION BAND AROUND THE DEVELOPING
CUTOFF HAS SPREAD LIGHT PRECIPITATION INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL OREGON. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS
IN EFFECT FOR CAZ082...WHERE THE SNOW WILL HAVE THE MOST IMPACT.
SNOW LEVELS ARE 2000 TO 3000 FEET.

THE RESIDUAL TROUGH AND THE CUTOFF WILL MOVE EAST OF THE CWA
LATER TODAY AND A WEAK RIDGE WILL MOVE IN TO REPLACE IT.
EXPECT SUNDAY TO BE COLD WITH DIMINISHING PRECIPITATION. THE MOST
LIKELY AREA FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...WHICH
WILL BE CLOSEST TO THE CUTOFF.

THE RIDGE WON'T LAST LONG. YET ANOTHER STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL
DIG WELL OFFSHORE MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AND SHORT WAVES EJECTING
FROM THE TROUGH WILL PROPEL FRONTS ONSHORE.

THE FIRST OF SEVERAL FRONTS WILL MOVE ONSHORE MONDAY. INITIALLY
IT WILL BE WEAK BUT UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL IMPROVE AS IT MOVES
IN AND THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF A SUSTAINED STRONG SOUTH WIND
EVENT. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THIS EVENT WILL LAST FROM
MONDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE FRONT STALLS
OFFSHORE. WINDS MAY PEAK AT STORM FORCE. THE COAST AND COAST
RANGE...IN PARTICULAR...WILL BE GETTING A LOT OF RAIN FROM THIS
PATTERN...MAYBE TOPPING TEN INCHES AT SOME COAST RANGE LOCATIONS.
THE SUSTAINED SOUTHERLY ADVECTION WILL ALLOW SNOW LEVELS TO RISE
UP TO 5000-6000 FEET AND POSSIBLY HIGHER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

THE FRONT WILL FINALLY MOVE ONSHORE WEDNESDAY EVENING JUST AHEAD
OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH. THE TROUGH ITSELF WILL MOVE ONSHORE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...SPLITTING AS IT DOES SO. THE MAIN
EFFECT OF THE SPLIT WILL BE TO DELAY THE DEPARTURE OF THE TROUGH
TO POINTS EAST. IT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE CWA EARLY THURSDAY.

YET ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE ON THE HEELS OF THE THURSDAY
MORNING SYSTEM...MOVING ONSHORE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS
WILL PUSH ANOTHER COLD FRONT ONSHORE THURSDAY AND IT WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INLAND. THIS DOES NOT LOOK TO BE AS STRONG OF A
SYSTEM AS THE TWO FROM EARLIER IN THE WEEK...BUT IT DOES APPEAR TO
BE COLDER WHICH COULD IMPACT TRAVEL OVER MOUNTAIN PASSES.

MODEL DIFFERENCES ARE SIGNIFICANT BEYOND THURSDAY BUT THE PATTERN
IS LIKELY TO REMAIN ACTIVE. THE UNCERTAINTY IS REGARDING THE
TIMING AND DURATION OF THE BREAKS BETWEEN SYSTEMS. WILL NOT CHANGE
GRIDS FROM THURSDAY ON EXCEPT TO RESOLVE DISCREPANCIES.

AVIATION...MOSTLY VFR NORTH OF THE UMPQUA DIVIDE THIS
EVENING...THOUGH CEILINGS MAY LOWER TO IFR IN PARTS OF THE UMPQUA
BASIN TOWARD DAYBREAK. MVFR CEILINGS AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS
WILL EXTEND ACROSS CURRY...JOSEPHINE...JACKSON AND SISKIYOU COUNTY
TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH OFF THE CALIFORNIA
COAST. LOCAL IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY ARE EXPECTED IN SOUTHERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY IN PERIODS OF SNOW. LOCAL MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITY IN SOUTHERN KLAMATH...SOUTHERN LAKE AND MODOC COUNTIES
IN LIGHT SNOW. THE NORTHERN HALF OF KLAMATH AND LAKE COUNTIES
SHOULD STAY VFR MOST OF THE NIGHT. ALL AREAS WILL CLEAR TO VFR
SUNDAY EXCEPT FOR SOME MVFR CIGS WITH HIGHER TERRAIN OBSCURED IN
THE CASCADES.
