AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
839 AM PDT THU AUG 30 2012

.UPDATE...FROST AND FREEZE HEADLINES HAVE EXPIRED FOR NORTHERN
KLAMATH AND NORTHWEST LAKE COUNTIES, AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF FAR
SOUTHEASTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY. HAVE MADE VERY FEW CHANGES FOR THE
MORNING UPDATE...MOSTLY IN REGARDS TO SATELLITE IMAGERY WHICH
SHOWS REDUCED CLOUDS ALONG THE COAST AND SMOKE LINGERING IN THE
VALLEYS OF SISKIYOU COUNTY. CONSIDERING THE FIRE ACTIVITY IN THE
AREA...SMOKE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE REGION.
OTHERWISE...CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK.-BPN

&&

.AVIATION...IFR LOW CLOUDS AND FOG EXIST IN THE COQUILLE BASIN AND ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE COAST THIS MORNING. THERE IS ALSO A GOOD DEAL OF SMOKE
ALOFT OVER SOUTHEAST SECTIONS OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. EXPECT THE
STRATUS AND FOG TO DISSIPATE MID TO LATE MORNING AND SMOKE TO LINGER
BUT LIFT THROUGH THE DAY UNDER SOUTHWEST FLOW. EXPECT FRIDAY MORNING
TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THIS MORNING, THOUGH STRATUS AND FOG ALONG THE
COAST MAY BEA BIT MORE EXTENSIVE.-BTL

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 204 AM PDT THU AUG 30 2012/

DISCUSSION...ANOTHER COLD MORNING IN PROGRESS ACROSS NORTHERN
KLAMATH, NORTHWEST LAKE, AND EASTERN SISKIYOU COUNTIES WITH
SEVERAL SITES ALREADY APPROACHING OR BELOW FREEZING. FROST/FREEZE
HEADLINES REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM AND THESE LOOK GOOD.

STILL LITTLE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER EXPECTED AS WE REMAIN IN THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW JUST UPSTREAM OF A WEAK UPPER TROUGH OFFSHORE. THIS
PATTERN HOLDS INTO THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS FINALLY
MOVES INLAND SATURDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THERE WILL BE A VERY
SLIGHT WARMING TODAY AND FRIDAY AND THEN WE'LL SHAVE A FEW DEGREES
OFF HIGHS ON SATURDAY. THROUGHOUT THIS TIME WE REMAIN FAIRLY CLEAR
WITH THE USUAL NOCTURNAL STRATUS ISSUES AT THE COAST. MOISTURE
WILL INCREASE ON THE EAST SIDE FRIDAY AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO OUR EAST, BUT WE REMAIN RELATIVELY STABLE WITH NO
SIGNIFICANT TRIGGER. AS THE TROUGH COMES INLAND SATURDAY, WE WILL
HAVE A WEAK TRIGGER AND SOME INSTABILITY, BUT THE MOISTURE WILL BE
OFF TO THE EAST. THAT'S A LONG WINDED WAY OF SAYING, WE AREN'T
EXPECTING ANY STORMS IN OUR AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

IN THE LONGER RANGE: ANOTHER WEAK TROUGH DROPS IN FROM THE GULF OF
ALASKA AND SETS UP OFF SHORE EARLY NEXT WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME, A
RIDGE ALOFT DEVELOPS TO ITS NORTH. THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS SHOW
THIS REX BLOCK REMAINING OFFSHORE AND NOT AS MUCH OF A FIRE
WEATHER CONCERN AS IT APPEARED YESTERDAY. OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE TO
WATCH THIS BECAUSE IT IS A WAYS OUT IN TIME (INHERENTLY LOWER
CONFIDENCE) AND THE MODEL SOLUTIONS TEND TO STRUGGLE WITH
BLOCKING PATTERNS ANYWAY. WITH THIS SETUP NOW OFFSHORE, IT DOES
LEND ITSELF TO WARMER TEMPERATURES OVER INLAND AREAS AND I HAVE
TRENDED WARMER FOR NEXT WEEK. -WRIGHT
