AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
244 AM PST SAT JAN 14 2012

.SHORT TERM...VERY ACTIVE PATTERN JUST ABOUT TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE
PACNW AS A STRONG UPPER TROUGH DROPS IN FROM THE GULFAK THROUGH
THE DAY TODAY AND BRINGS MUCH COLDER AIR ALONG WITH THE CHANCE FOR
SNOW...EVEN TO LOWER ELEVATIONS. BEFORE THAT HOWEVER...WE'VE STILL
GOT A FAIRLY STAGNANT AIRMASS IN PLACE. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE SOME
LIGHT WINDS IN A FEW LOCATIONS RIGHT NOW...WE ARE UNLIKELY TO MIX
ENOUGH TO SCOUR OUT THE INVERSIONS UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON. SO I
EXTENDED THE AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY UNTIL 1 PM.

THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW IS NOW
DROPPING SOUTH ALONG VANCOUVER ISLAND. BASED ON EXTRAPOLATION IT
SHOULD ARRIVE JUST AFTER 00Z AT THE COAST AND MOVE INLAND. THIS IS
BASICALLY WHAT THE MODELS HAVE SO THE TIMING LOOKS GOOD. THIS IS A
RARE CASE WHERE MOST OF THE PRECIP LAGS THE ACTUAL FRONT AND THUS
WHAT WE DO GET WILL FALL IN THE COLD SECTOR. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY
COLD PACIFIC AIRMASS AND SNOW LEVELS WILL DROP RIGHT TO THE
SURFACE FAIRLY RAPIDLY TONIGHT...THUS THE PREDOMINANT PRECIP TYPE
LOOKS LIKE SNOW. MODELS HAVE FAIRLY LIGHT QPF OVERNIGHT WITH MORE
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS AS THE COLD UPPER LOW MOVES OVER US TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND WE RELEASE THE INSTABILITY.

GIVEN THE SHOWERY NATURE OF THIS SYSTEM, NOT EVERYBODY WILL GET
ACCUMULATIONS, BUT EVERYBODY *COULD* AND ANY ACCUMULATIONS AFTER
SUCH A QUIET FALL AND EARLY WINTER WILL PRODUCE IMPACTS. CURRENT
GRIDS HAVE GENERALLY UP TO AN INCH ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS
WITH 2-3 INCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS AND UPWARDS OF 6 INCHES ON THE
HIGHEST PEAKS IN THE KALMIOPSIS. THE PASSES, EVEN THE LOWEST ONES,
WILL LIKELY SEE AT LEAST A FEW INCHES OF SNOW. WHILE MOST OF US
WON'T REACH ADVISORY LEVELS, THIS SYSTEM PRESENT ENOUGH POTENTIAL
FOR IMPACT THAT I DECIDED TO HOIST A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING OVER THE WEST SIDE LOWLANDS. I
ALSO TOOK THE ADVISORY INTO THE COASTAL ZONES ABOVE 500 FEET.
THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH ONSHORE FLOW TO SEE ACCUMULATIONS RIGHT AT
THE COAST. BUT AREAS INLAND WILL LIKELY SEE SOME ACCUMULATIONS.

SNOW WILL ALSO FALL THROUGH THE CASCADES AND SISKIYOUS BUT
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITIERIA.
CERTAINLY THE PASSES WILL BE IMPACTED, BUT NOTHING UNUSUAL FOR
JANUARY. SNOW ACROSS THE EAST SIDE AND NORCAL WILL BE MORE SPOTTY
AND NOT OF ANY PARTICULAR IMPACT.

SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY LESSENS (BUT DOES NOT DISAPPEAR ENTIRELY) SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY BUT IT WILL REMAIN COLD WITH SNOW LEVELS RUNNING
500-1000 FEET. MODELS ARE STILL HINTING AT ANOTHER PERIOD OF
POSSIBLE ACCUMULATING SNOW OVER THE WEST SIDE LOWLANDS MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS THE UPPER JET STRENGTHENS AND WAVES RIDE
THROUGH. DETAILS ARE STILL A LITTLE LESS CERTAIN AND WANTED TO
AVOID ANY CONFUSION, SO DID NOT ISSUE ANY HIGHLIGHTS FOR THAT.
DIDN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED, SO THE PREVIOUS EXTENDED
DISCUSSION FOLLOWS FOR REFERENCE. -WRIGHT

EXTENDED DISCUSSION FROM THE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AFD...TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. EXPECT A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN TO DEVELOP. ON
TUESDAY...MODELS ARE INDICATING A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BE OVER
THE AREA BRINGING SHOWERS MAINLY TO THE WEST SIDE. SNOW LEVELS
WILL STILL BE LOW ON THIS DAY WITH SNOW LEVELS AROUND 1000 TO 2000
FEET GRADUALLY RISING TO 1500 TO 2500 FEET.

NEXT A STRONG AND MOIST FRONTAL SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE
COAST TUESDAY EVENING AND MOVE INLAND TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BRING STRONG WINDS INTO THE COAST AND
INTO THE THE MOUNTAINS AND AREAS EAST OF THE CASCADES. STRONGEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE COAST AND FOR THE SUMMER LAKE AREA WHERE
GUSTS OF 60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.  SNOW LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO GRADUALLY
RISE WEDNESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES INLAND.
HOWEVER BEFORE THIS OCCURS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS IN SOME VALLEYS AND LOWER ELEVATIONS...MAINLY FROM THE
CASCADES WEST. ALSO AS PRECIPITATION SPREADS EAST ESPECIALLY INTO
THE KLAMATH BASIN WEDNESDAY MORNING...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR FREEZING
RAIN OR SLEET AS A WARM LAYER ALOFT MOVES OVERHEAD BUT NEAR SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL BELOW FREEZING.  BY AFTERNOON...EXPECT MOSTLY
RAIN OVER THE AREA WITH A RAIN SNOW MIX POSSIBLE EAST OF THE
CASCADES. THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SEE SNOW INTO
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THOUGH IF COLD AIR REMAINS TRAPPED.

SNOW LEVELS GRADUALLY RISE FURTHER BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. ADDITIONAL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY. THIS WILL BE A VERY WET PERIOD WITH SNOW LEVELS GENERALLY
ABOVE 5000 FEET. WITH CONTINUED HEAVY PRECIPITATION ALONG THE COAST
AND AREAS OF MODERATE PRECIPITATION INLAND...SIGNIFICANT RIVER RISES
ARE POSSIBLE DURING. ALSO ADDITIONAL STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY FOR THE COAST...THE MOUNTAINS AND AREAS EAST OF
THE CASCADES. CC

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CEILINGS HAVE MOVED INTO COASTAL AREAS THIS MORNING.
THESE CEILINGS WILL LIFT BRIEFLY TO VFR BY 18Z...THEN EXPECT MVFR
CEILINGS ALONG WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS AND -SHRA THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. IFR CIGS/VIS ALSO EXPECTED IN
PARTS OF THE UMPQUA BASIN...NEAR GRANTS PASS AND ALSO THE ILLINOIS
VALLEY THIS MORNING. THESE SHOULD ALSO LIFT TO VFR BY 18Z BUT DO
EXPECT MVFR CIGS WITH LOCAL MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS AND -SHRA/-SHSN TO
ACCOMPANY A FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS EVENING. KMFR AND KLMT SHOULD STAY
VFR THIS MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON BUT CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO JUST
ABOVE MVFR BY THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT MOVES IN. WIDESPREAD
-SHRA/-SHSN WILL AFFECT AREAS FROM THE CASCADES WESTWARD LATER
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND LCL IFR CIGS/VIS IN
HEAVIER SHRA/SHSN.
