AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
917 PM PST SUN DEC 25 2011

.UPDATE...
AN UPDATE TO THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING HAS
BEEN SENT TO ADJUST LOW TEMPERATURES DOWN ON SOME OF THE WEST
SIDE AND TO ADD AREAS AND PATCHES OF FOG AND FREEZING FOG.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ODOT IN GRANTS PASS AS WELL AS A SPOTTER HAVE REPORTED SOME BLACK
ICE ON ROADWAYS OF JOSEPHINE COUNTY. THIS HAS FORMED DUE TO SOME
MEASURABLE RAINFALL FROM THIS AFTERNOON COMBINING WITH COLD GROUND
CONDITIONS...MOSTLY IN SHADY SPOTS...THAT HAVE DEVELOPED DURING
OUR LONG SPELL OF COLD NIGHTS WITH STRONG VALLEY INVERSIONS.
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE NEAR 100 PERCENT IN JOSEPHINE COUNTY WITH
SUBFREEZING TO NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES...WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE
POTENTIAL OF FROST ADHERING TO THE ROADWAYS AND SIDEWALKS.

ADDITIONALLY...OTHER PORTIONS OF THE WEST SIDE TO INCLUDE JACKSON
AND DOUGLAS COUNTY...AND THE COASTAL VALLEYS WILL SEE A SIMILAR
THREAT OF FOG AND SLICK SPOTS DEVELOPING TONIGHT. A SHORT TERM
FORECAST WAS ISSUED EARLIER FOR THIS. SOME CIRRUS OF VARYING
THICKNESS IS EVIDENT ON THE SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS EVENING WHICH
WILL CAUSE FROST AND FOG FORMATION TO VARY GREATLY IN TIME AND
SPACE OVERNIGHT. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WITH HIGH HUMIDITIES AND
SOME RECENT RAINFALL LOW CLOUDS AND SOME FOG WILL BE AROUND
LEADING TO SOME POTENTIAL SLICK CONDITIONS THROUGH THE MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION...
AREAS OF FOG ARE DEVELOPING ON THE COAST AND ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE MORNING. ADDITIONALLY A MIX OF LIFR FOG TO MVFR
CEILINGS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP IN THE WEST SIDE VALLEYS OVERNIGHT
PERSISTING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. FOG AND LOW CLOUDS ARE LIKELY TO
BE DISRUPTED AT TIMES DUE TO INTERVALS OF HIGH CLOUDS MOVING
THROUGH. VFR IS EXPECTED ALL AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON EXCEPT
POSSIBLY IN THE UMPQUA BASIN FROM ABOUT ROSEBURG NORTHWARD...WHERE
MVFR MAY PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 201 PM PST SUN DEC 25 2011/

DISCUSSION...A DRY COLD FRONT IS MOVING ACROSS THE EASTSIDE AT
THIS TIME ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY WINDS ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER
EXPOSED ELEVATIONS. PRECIPITATION WITH THE FRONT WAS ALMOST
ENTIRELY LIMITED TO THE COAST AND COASTAL MOUNTAINS. A FLAT AND
TEMPORARY RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS OUR AREA TONIGHT AND HALF OF
MONDAY. BY LATE MONDAY THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF OCCLUDED FRONTS
WILL REACH THE COAST AND MOVE INLAND. THIS SYSTEM...THOUGH WETTER
THAN TODAY'S SYSTEM...WILL ONLY PRODUCE LIGHT AMOUNTS OF
PRECIPITATION FROM THE CASCADES WESTWARD AND NORTH OF THE
CALIFORNIA BORDER. A STRONGER SYSTEM WILL FOLLOW ON ITS HEALS
LATER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE GOOD JET
SUPPORT AND A LONG FETCH OF MOISTURE. IT WILL INITIALLY PRODUCE
HIGH-END GALES IN OUR COASTAL WATERS AND AREAS OF MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAIN NEAR THE COAST. AS IT MOVES INLAND EARLY WEDNESDAY RAIN
AND VERY HIGH ELEVATION SNOW SHOULD SPREAD EAST OF THE CASCADES
AND ENVELOP OUR 2 CALIFORNIA COUNTIES. A STATIONARY FRONT WILL
THEN DRAPE ITSELF ACROSS OUR AREA NEAR THE OREGON-CALIFORNIA
BORDER RESULTING IN RAIN AT TIMES WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

BEYOND FRIDAY OUR NUMERIC MODELS PRESENT A NUMBER OF SOLUTIONS.
THIS LEADS TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS BUT IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE
JET STREAM WILL LIFT TO THE NORTH A BIT RESULTING IN SOME DRY
PERIODS NEXT WEEKEND. ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS THAT THE FORECAST
WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW A CHANCE OF SHOWERS NEARLY EVERYWHERE ALONG WITH
HIGH SNOW LEVELS. THE PROBABILITY OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION HOWEVER
WILL BE LESS THAN 50% EXCEPT ALONG THE COAST...OVER COASTAL
MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS THE UMPQUA BASIN.
