AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
100 AM PST TUE MAR 1 2011

.DISCUSSION...01/00Z NAM/GFS IN.

THE CURRENT PROGRESSIVE STORMY PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEAR
FUTURE.

CURRENTLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT IS IN PLACE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
AND LOW AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW ARE MOVING
ONSHORE INTO WASHINGTON STATE. A FRONT IS NOW STALLED OVER THE
MEDFORD CWA...DROPPING MOSTLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION FROM THE
CASCADES EAST.

AN UPPER TROUGH IS NOW DIGGING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA AND THIS
WILL FORCE THE ZONAL FLOW TO BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY TUESDAY. THE
SOUTHWESTERLY STEERING WINDS WILL CAUSE THE STALLED FRONT TO MOVE
BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT AT THIS TIME.

AS THE TROUGH DEEPENS...THE MAIN WEATHER MAKERS WILL BE SHORT
WAVES ROUNDING THE TROUGH AND THE ASSOCIATED FRONTS. THIS LARGE
SCALE PATTERN WILL PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND.

THE FIRST OF THE SHORT WAVES ROUNDING THE TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST OFFSHORE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEFORE
MOVING INLAND OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS WAVE
WILL SUPPORT SOME IMPRESSIVE CYCLOGENESIS IN THE ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL MOVE NORTH JUST OUTSIDE 130W TUESDAY. THE
TRAJECTORY OF THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE WORST WEATHER OUT OF THE
MEDFORD CWA...BUT IT WILL STILL PUSH A WET AND WINDY FRONT ONSHORE
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL BE OVER SISKIYOU
COUNTY AND THE COAST RANGE OF EXTREME SOUTHWEST OREGON. GIVEN THE
FORECAST SNOW LEVELS OF 3000 TO 4000 FEET...THE CURRENT WINTER
STORM WATCHES AND ADVISORIES LOOK ON TRACK.

THIS FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE CWA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
LEAVE BEHIND MOSTLY LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY...BUT SOUTHWEST FACING
SLOPES WILL LIKELY SEE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. IN
ADDITION...SEVERAL WEAK SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA AND THIS MAY BRING SOME SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE FRIDAY EVENING. THIS
ONE DOES NOT LOOK QUITE AS WINDY BUT IT WILL BE WET...WITH THE
MOST PRECIPITATION ONCE AGAIN OCCURRING OVER SISKIYOU COUNTY AND
THE COAST RANGE OF EXTREME SOUTHWEST OREGON.

LONG TERM DISCUSSION FROM THE MONDAY AFTERNOON AFD...SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY...AN UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE MODELS AGREE THAT A LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER
THE EAST PACIFIC THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD FRIDAY THROUGH
MONDAY. DURING THIS PERIOD SEVERAL SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE REGIONS
WEATHER.

&&

.AVIATION...MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL IMPACT THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH POSSIBLE PARTIAL CLEARING BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. WINDS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION WILL INCREASE LATE
TUESDAY AHEAD OF A VERY STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. CEILINGS WILL
BE MAINLY VFR EXCEPT FOR THE COAST AND WESTERN AND SOUTHERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY WHERE AREAS OF IFR AND MVFR CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
