AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
901 PM PDT THU OCT 4 2012

.DISCUSSION...THE MARINE STRATUS CONTINUES TO MAKE PROGRESS ALONG
THE OREGON COAST AND INTO PARTS OF THE INLAND VALLEYS IN COOS AND
CURRY COUNTIES. MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SKY COVER TO ACCOUNT
THE CURRENT FOG IMAGE AND EXPECTED SKY CONDITION FOR TONIGHT.
ELSEWHERE SKIES WILL REMAIN CLEAR. REST OF THE FORECAST IS STILL
ON TRACK WITH THE MAIN CONCERN BEING A FREEZE WARNING FOR PARTS OF
THE KLAMATH BASIN AND FROST IN PARTS OF THE ILLINOIS VALLEY AND
NEAR PROSPECT. -PETRUCELLI

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE AT THE COAST THROUGH FRIDAY
MORNING. POSSIBLY INTO THE AFTERNOON. CURRENT GUIDANCE SUGGEST IFR
CIGS PERSISTING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH CIGS REMAINING BELOW
1000 FEET. ELSEWHERE VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 303 PM PDT THU OCT 4 2012/

DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO HOLD STRONG OVER THE EASTERN
PACIFIC OCEAN, CENTERED NEAR 45N AND 140W. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW LIES
TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THIS FEATURE NEAR 38N AND 130W RESULTING
IN A SLIGHTLY OFFSET REX BLOCK, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE HIGH OVER
LOW BLOCK. THROUGH THE WEEKEND THE TANDEM BLOCKING EFFECTS OF THE
HIGH AND LOW WILL DRIFT NORTHWARD AS THE LOW BEGINS TO SHEAR OUT
EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. FINALLY, EARLY NEXT WEEK THE
CENTER OF THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK INLAND BETWEEN ABOUT CAPE
MENDOCINO AND SAN FRANCISCO BAY. THIS WILL THEN PUT US BACK IN THE
INFLUENCE OF UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING, BUT WITH A GREATER
ONSHORE COMPONENT TO THE WIND FLOW EXPECTED.

MORE SPECIFICALLY, ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA, FROST AND FREEZE
CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE- NOT ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR. HOWEVER, SINCE WE HAVE YET TO SEE KILLING FROST
AND FREEZE CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE AGRICULTURAL AREAS FROM
THE UPPER KLAMATH AND TULELAKE BASINS WESTWARD, WE ARE CONTINUING
TO MONITOR THESE CRITICAL TEMPERATURES. FOR TONIGHT MADE SOME
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FROST AND FREEZE PRODUCTS. MOST NOTABLY,
EXPECT KLAMATH FALLS WILL GET DOWN BELOW FREEZING, AS WELL AS THE
TULELAKE BASIN. FOR THE WEST SIDE EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE
WITHIN A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF WHAT THEY WERE THIS MORNING. MOST
GUIDANCE ACTUALLY TRENDS HIGHER ON THE WEST SIDE FOR TONIGHT, BUT
LOWER DEWPOINTS MEAN THAT IT'S LIKELY TO BE ABOUT THE SAME
OVERALL.

THE MENTION IN THIS MORNING'S DISCUSSION ABOUT COOLER TEMPERATURES
EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR PORTIONS OF THE WEST SIDE MAY HAVE BEEN A
LITTLE PRELIMINARY. THE INCOMING UPPER LOW SHOULD INCREASE
DEWPOINTS ENOUGH AND RESULT IN SOME CLOUD COVER THAT LOOKS TO KEEP
TEMPERATURES VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME FOR HIGHS AND LOWS OVER THE
NEXT 7 DAYS.

ASIDE FROM SOME DRIZZLE POTENTIAL ALONG AND NEAR THE COAST WITH
THE MARINE LAYER THIS WEEKEND AND SOME SHOWER POTENTIAL IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INLAND THIS WEEKEND
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK, IT APPEARS WE ARE LOOKING OUT BEYOND A
WEEK FOR ANY REAL SHOT OF PRECIPITATION. THERE IS A MADDEN JULIAN
OSCILLATION OF NOTE TO KEEP AN EYE ON IN THE WESTERN PACIFIC THAT
BEARS WATCHING, AS IT COULD BUMP THE PATTERN IN THE 1.5 TO 2.5
WEEK TIME FRAME. BTL
