AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
229 PM PST THU MAR 3 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...A SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY
MOVING THROUGH THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON IS PRODUCING SHOWERS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA. SNOW IS FALLING DOWN TO ABOUT 4000 FEET AND
THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE INTO THIS EVENING. THE SHOWERS
WILL COME TO AN END THIS EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST AND
OUT OF THE AREA...SO WE HAVE TRIMMED POPS BACK CONSIDERABLY AFTER
10 PM TONIGHT. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN LATER
TONIGHT...ALLOWING FOR A BRIEF BREAK BETWEEN STORMS AND A PERIOD
OF DRY WEATHER. WE CANNOT RULE OUT PATCHY FOG IN THE WEST SIDE
VALLEYS TONIGHT AS THE RECENT RAINS AND BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WOULD
ALLOW IT TO FORM FOR A TIME.

THIS HIGH PRESSURE WILL LAST INTO FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE ANOTHER
STRONG FRONT NEARS 130W BY MIDDAY FRIDAY. THIS FRONT AND ITS
ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION WILL REACH THE COASTAL WATERS AND COME
ONSHORE LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS HAVE SLOWED WITH
THE ONSET OF THE PRECIPITATION...SO WE HAVE REDUCED THE EASTWARD
EXTENT OF THE PRECIPITATION BY THE END OF THE DAY FRIDAY. THE
ECMWF IS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN THE GFS...WHILE THE NAM IS SLOWER
AND A LOT DRIER WITH THIS FRONT. WE HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A BLEND
BETWEEN THE GFS AND THE ECMWF WHICH WOULD SPREAD PRECIPITATION
FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT. ACCUMULATING SNOW
AT THIS POINT LOOKS TO BE ABOVE 4500 FEET FOR THE MOST PART AND
WOULD FOCUS MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION IN THE CASCADES...WESTERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY...AND SOUTHERN SISKIYOU COUNTY THROUGH THE DAY
SATURDAY.

THE FRONT BECOMES HUNG UP OVER THE CWA SATURDAY WHILE A WAVE
DEVELOPS ALONG IT AND WILL LIKELY REACH 130W SOUTH OF 40N BY THE
END OF THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OR
SLIGHTLY NORTHEAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND COME ASHORE SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY. THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF SOMEWHAT ON THE STRENGTH
OF THE LOW AND THE HEAVY PRECIPITATION SHOWN IN PAST RUNS BUT OUR
CWA IS EXPECTED TO STILL END UP WITH WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION
DURING THIS TIME. ONE UNCERTAINTY IS HOW FAR SOUTH THIS LOW TRACKS
AND THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF ITS PRECIPITATION. THE 00Z ECMWF WAS
FARTHER SOUTH AND LIMITED MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE NEW 12Z RUN TRACKS IT CLOSER TO 40N AND
IS SIMILAR TO THE GFS...AND A BLEND OF BOTH WAS USED HERE. SNOW
LEVELS DO NOT APPEAR TO CHANGE MUCH FROM SATURDAY/S FRONT INTO
SUNDAY/S LOW.

BY SUNDAY NIGHT...THE MODELS AGREE AND HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT ON A
SIGNIFICANT TROUGH DIGGING IN FRONT THE NORTHWEST WHILE THE LOW
MOVES OFF TO OUR EAST INTO THE GREAT BASIN. THIS COULD BRING
PRECIPITATION TO THE EAST SIDE AS THE LOW EXITS THE CWA WHILE SNOW
LEVELS BEGIN TO COME DOWN ON THE WEST SIDE CLOSER TO 2000 FEET
UNDER THE DEEPENING TROUGH.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF
INDICATE SHOWERY CONDITIONS MONDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT. UPPER
RIDGING WILL BUILD LATER MONDAY AND TUESDAY BUT A WARM FRONT WILL
APPROACH WITH AN OVERRUNNING PATTERN KEEPING CLOUDS AND A CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THE GFS IS WETTER THAN
THE ECMWF WITH THIS SYSTEM ON TUESDAY. THERE SHOULD BE A SHORT
PERIOD OF DRYING ON WEDNESDAY AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF OUR
AREA. HOWEVER...A STRONGER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST BY BOTH THE GFS
AND ECMWF TO MOVE INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY WITH GUSTY WINDS AND
SNOW FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

&&

.AVIATION...WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL OCCUR THIS
EVENING ALONG WITH MVFR CIGS IN RAIN SHOWERS AT THE WEST SIDE
TERMINALS WHILE SNOW SHOWERS OCCUR ON THE EAST SIDE. VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL CLOSER TO KOTH AT THE COAST. PRECIPITATION WILL COME
TO AN END AFTER 06Z TONIGHT...BUT MVFR CIGS WILL LINGER. PATCHY
FOG MAY FORM IN THE WEST SIDE VALLEYS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING AND LOWER VISIBILITIES.
