What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this gale 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 gale watch went out at Dec 20, 8:42 AM PST, 6 hours earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 8:42 AM PST, 6 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
842 AM PST THU DEC 20 2012

.DISCUSSION...20/12Z NAM/GFS IN.

A STRONG COLD FRONT HAS NOW MOVED ONSHORE AND IS APPROACHING THE
CASCADES AT THIS TIME. WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED ALONG THE COAST BUT
THERE ARE STILL STRONG WINDS FROM THE CASCADES AND SISKIYOUS EAST.
SNOW LEVELS ARE PLUNGING BEHIND THE FRONT...AND CURRENTLY IT LOOKS
LIKE THE POST-FRONTAL SNOW LEVEL IS AROUND 1500 FEET. ONCE THE
WINDS DIMINISH OVER THE REST OF THE AREA...THE PRIMARY FOCUS WILL
TURN TO WINTER WEATHER...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA.

AN UPPER TROUGH OUT NEAR 140W WILL DIG IN PLACE INTO FRIDAY...THEN
MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD AND WEAKEN. NUMEROUS SHORT WAVES EJECTING FROM
THE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. EACH WAVE WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION AND
WIND TO THE AREA. HOWEVER...WINDS WILL NOT BE NEARLY AS STRONG AS
THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CURRENT FRONT. PRECIPITATION WILL BE THE
MAIN CONCERN...AND THE SHORT WAVES WILL BE SO CLOSELY SPACED THAT
IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TELL WHEN ONE SYSTEM ENDS AND THE NEXT
BEGINS.

THE MAIN FOCUS OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN A CRESCENT EXTENDING
FROM THE KALMIOPSIS WILDERNESS SOUTHEAST THROUGH WESTERN SISKIYOU
COUNTY TO THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA. INITIALLY THE PRECIPITATION WILL
BE SPREAD OUT OVER THIS AREA...BUT THEN THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO
THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA SATURDAY.

THE REMNANTS OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ONSHORE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND A LONG WAVE RIDGE WILL MOVE IN MONDAY. AT THIS TIME THE
PRECIPITATION WILL ABATE...BUT MOUNT SHASTA CITY WILL HAVE SEVERAL
FEET OF SNOW ON THE GROUND BY THIS TIME. MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
WILL BE RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHERWISE.

THE BREAK WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS THE RIDGE WILL BREAK TO THE EAST
MONDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE ONSHORE TUESDAY
NIGHT...PUSHING A COLD FRONT ONSHORE AHEAD OF IT TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE COOL AND SHOWERY
WITH TROUGHING OVERHEAD AND SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...A POTENT COLD FRONT HAS REACHED THE CASCADES. THE MAIN
IMPACT HAS BEEN STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ALOFT IN ADVANCE
OF THE FRONT. STRONG WINDS WILL GENERATE WIDESPREAD TURBULENCE
FROM THE CASCADES EAST TODAY. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
ALONG THE COAST WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INLAND THIS MORNING.
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL BE WIDESPREAD TODAY. FREEZING LEVELS
WILL DROP AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION TODAY. CIGS HAVE
BEEN MOSTLY VFR...BUT WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR TODAY AS PRECIPITATION
BANDS MOVE THROUGH.

THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA WILL LIKELY FEATURE THE MOST HAZARDOUS FLYING
CONDITIONS WITH STRONG SOUTH FLOW...HEAVY SNOW...AND VLIFR
VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS.
