What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this high wind watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Medford, OR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind watch went out at Nov 23, 9:05 AM PST, 4 hours 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 23, 9:05 AM PST, 4 hours 59 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
905 AM PST WED NOV 23 2011

.DISCUSSION...THE COLD FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH THE COAST AT THE
MOMENT...WITH WINDS GRADUALLY SHIFTING TO THE WEST AND DIMINISHING.
THE 8AM NORTH BEND OBSERVATION DEPICTS THIS TRANSITION CLEARLY. THE
HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE COAST AREAS IS BEING CANCELED PER THESE
TRENDS. WINDS FURTHER INLAND LIKELY WILL NOT DIMINISH MUCH UNTIL
THIS AFTERNOON... TIGHT SOUTH TO NORTH PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL
SUSTAIN STRONG WINDS FURTHER INLAND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AND
THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS AND WIND ADVISORY LOOK ON TRACK FOR THIS.
SPECIFICALLY...THE MFR-RDD PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS AT AN
IMPRESSIVE -10MB...AND THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE PAST 10
HOURS. TRAVELERS WILL BE IMPACTED MOST BY WIND AT INLAND LOCATIONS
AND HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE COAST.

RAIN WILL BECOME HEAVY ALONG THE COAST THIS MORNING AND WILL SHIFT
INLAND IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS LATER TODAY. 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IS
EXPECTED OVER THE COAST RANGE TODAY WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESSER
AMOUNTS FURTHER INLAND. SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP TONIGHT...REACHING
PASS LEVEL BY TONIGHT BUT MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE
DIMINISHING AND PUSHING SOUTH OF THE REGION BY THAT TIME.
THEREFORE...DO NOT EXPECT SIGNIFICANT SNOW IMPACTS TONIGHT. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE PRECIPITATION WILL
LINGER LONGER...AND A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR WESTERN SISKIYOU
COUNTY ABOVE 4500 FEET ACCOUNTS FOR THIS. WILL BE LOOKING AT THE
SHASTA AREA FOR POTENTIAL SNOW IMPACTS TONIGHT AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

THANKSGIVING LOOKS LIKE A LESS ACTIVE WEATHER DAY COMPARED TO
TODAY...WITH INLAND AREAS IN THE MORNING LOOKING MOSTLY DRY...AND THE
BEST CHANCE OF MORNING PRECIPITATION BEING AT THE COAST. IT WILL BE
BREEZY WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES...BUT WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER THAN
TODAY. THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION
ARRIVES THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

PLEASE SEE THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOR MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE
THANKSGIVING FORECAST AND EXTENDED PERIODS.

&&

AVIATION...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF A SLOW
MOVING COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE COAST EARLY THIS MORNING. SHOULD
SEE WIND SHEAR IN PLACES BELOW 2000 FEET...ESPECIALLY THIS
MORNING. WIND IMPACTS TO COASTAL TERMINALS WILL DIMINISH SOME THIS
MORNING BUT INLAND STRONG WINDS...TURBULENCE...AND LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. MORNING
LENTICULAR CLOUDS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN NEAR MEDFORD SUGGESTS A
TURBULENT ATMOSPHERE. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL BE GENERALLY
VFR INLAND AHEAD OF THE FRONT...BUT LOWER CONSIDERABLY AS
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS CLOSE TO AND BEHIND THE FRONT. ONE INLAND
AREA OF VERY LOW CEILINGS WILL BE THE MOUNT SHASTA REGION AS
UPSLOPE FLOW MAINTAINS IFR CONDITIONS THERE THROUGH THE DAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 311 AM PST WED NOV 23 2011/

SHORT TERM...A STRONG NOVEMBER WINDSTORM IS IN PROGRESS. THE GEFS
EPS-BASED STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES FOR 850 MB WINDS WERE FORECAST
CLOSE TO +5 AT 12Z WEDNESDAY. IN PLAIN ENGLISH...THIS CORRESPONDS
TO A RETURN INTERVAL OF ABOUT TWICE PER YEAR. SUBSEQUENTLY...THIS
IS AN UNUSUALLY STRONG WIND PRODUCER...BUT NOT RARE.

THERE WILL BE NO CHANGES TO THE VARIOUS WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES.
THE TIMING LOOKS GOOD FOR THESE AREAS. CONSIDERED ADDING WIND
ADVISORIES FOR PARTS OF KLAMATH AND MODOC COUNTIES BUT DECIDED
AGAINST IT. THE 700 MB WINDS ARE STRONG OVER THOSE AREAS...CLOSE
TO 50 KNOTS THIS MORNING...BUT WINDS NOT FULLY COUPLED ESPECIALLY
OVER MODOC COUNTY. EXPECT WINDS TO BE GUSTY BUT NOT REACH 45 MPH
IN THE VALLEYS. THE HIGHER PEAKS WILL SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS.

WITH IMPRESSIVE WINDS COME IMPRESSIVE SEAS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO
BRING HIGH SURF...HAZARDOUS SEAS...AND STORM WARNINGS THROUGH THE
MORNING.

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL WILL OCCUR IN CURRY COUNTY WHERE THE
SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT COMBINES WITH ADDITIONAL LIFT OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS HAVE RANGED UP TO 3.3 INCHES IN
THE PAST 24 HOURS IN THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS. COULD SEE UP TO
ANOTHER 3 INCHES IN THIS SAME AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.
EXPECT THE CHETCO...PISTOL...SIXES...AND COQUILLE RIVERS TO HAVE
DECENT RISES BUT REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE. SMALLER STREAMS WILL
ALSO SEE SIGNIFICANT RISES IN THIS AREA TODAY.

THE SNOW LEVELS ARE QUITE HIGH AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND SNOW
WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS. FOR THE CASCADES
THERE WILL BE MINOR ACCUMULATING SNOW ON THE HIGHEST PASSES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE THIS EVENING. THIS IS GOOD
NEWS FOR ALL OF THE HOLIDAY TRAVELERS TODAY...BETTER RAIN THAN
SNOW ON THE PASSES. CRATER LAKE PARK AND THE SKI AREAS COULD PICK
UP 5-10 INCHES OF SNOW...MAINLY TONIGHT.

LONG TERM...LOOKS TO BE A MORE TRANQUIL PERIOD WITH UPPER RIDGING
BUILDING THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND FOLLOWED BY A WEAK TROUGH SUNDAY OR
SUNDAY NIGHT. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FOR OUR
AREA FOR HOLIDAY TRAVELERS HEADING BACK HOME OVER THE WEEKEND.
THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH MONDAY.
HOWEVER...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW MID-WEEK AS BIG DIFFERENCES
OCCUR WITH THE ECMWF SHOWING A TROUGH ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
WHILE THE GFS SHOWS RIDGING.
