AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
923 AM PST TUE JAN 17 2012

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY IN THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM THIS MORNING. ONLY UPDATE
WAS CANCELLING THE FROST AND FREEZE FOR THE COASTAL LOCATIONS A
BIT EARLY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A LARGE PLUME OF MOISTURE
EXTENDING FROM THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS TO ABOUT 140W. THIS WILL BE
THE MOISTURE SOURCE FOR OUR STORM ARRIVING LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WEST OF THE
CASCADES TODAY BUT THE REAL INDICATOR OF THIS SYSTEM MOVING IN
WILL BE THE INCREASING WINDS. CONDITIONS WILL BE GUSTY AT ELEVATION
TODAY AND THAT WILL MIX DOWN TO MOST OF THE VALLEY AND COASTAL
LOCATIONS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE BIGGEST CONCERNS FOR THE FORECAST TODAY ARE WINTER WEATHER
HEADLINES FOR THE ROGUE AND ILLINOIS VALLEYS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WHERE THE SNOW WOULD BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO BE
BLOWN BY THESE WINDS. WE WILL BE FOCUSING ON THE TIMING OF THE
STRONG WINDS ARRIVING COMPARED TO THE PRECIPITATION ONSET. IF THOSE
WINDS ARRIVE IT WILL SCOUR THE COLD AIR OUT OF THE VALLEYS AND
ALMOST ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS RAIN.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE HEAVY FOR THE COAST AND COASTAL
MOUNTAINS THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEDNESDAY AND WILL CONTINUE WITH
LIMITED BREAKS THROUGH FRIDAY. SO THIS WILL CAUSE SOME RIVERS TO
RISE TO NEAR FLOOD STAGE. HYDROLOGIC PRODUCTS ARE BEING REVISED TO
UPDATE THOSE CONDITIONS.
THE TROUGH THAT IS BRINGING ALL OF THIS
WINTER WEATHER TO THE AREA LOOKS TO STAY OVER US THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE SOME BREAKS IN THE PRECIPITATION BUT
OVERALL IT LOOKS LIKE WINTER IS HERE TO STAY FOR A WHILE.

&&

.AVIATION...
THE COASTAL LOCATIONS WILL VARY BETWEEN MVFR AND VFR CONDITIONS
TODAY AS SHOWERS MOVE IN. THE BIGGEST IMPACT WILL BE THE INCREASE
IN WINDS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AND THE RESULTING WIND SHEAR
CONDITIONS. THE ROSEBURG AREA WILL SEE SHOWERS CONTINUING THROUGH
THE DAY RESULTING IN MVFR CONDITIONS. WILL LIKELY SEE RAIN TURN TO
SNOW THERE LATER TONIGHT WITH WIND SHEAR CONDITIONS AS WELL.
MEDFORD AND KLAMATH FALLS WILL REMAIN VFR DURING THE DAYLIGHT
HOURS TODAY. AS PRECIPITATION STARTS LATER TONIGHT, EXPECT BOTH
LOCATIONS TO SEE DETERIORATING CONDITIONS BY DAYBREAK.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 529 AM PST TUE JAN 17 2012/

DISCUSSION...DISCUSSION WILL FOCUS ON THE MAJOR WINTER STORM THAT
WILL BE IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AT
LEAST. THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM THIS STORM WILL INVOLVE WIND AND SNOW.
THE IMPACT FROM MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS COVERED IN THE FLOOD
POTENTIAL OUTLOOK.

FIRST...WINDS WILL IMPACT BASICALLY THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA...WITH
THE STRONGEST WINDS AT THE COAST...EAST SIDE...AND SHASTA VALLEY.
MFR-RDD FORECAST PRESSURE GRADIENTS REACH AN IMPRESSIVE -13MB
THURSDAY MORNING AND REALLY DO NOT DROP MUCH UNTIL THURSDAY EVENING.
EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE IS THE OTH-ACV FORECAST PRESSURE GRADIENT OF
-13MB WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS HAS WARRANTED HIGH WIND WARNINGS FOR
THE COAST AND SHASTA VALLEY LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...RESPECTIVELY. ADDITIONALLY...SNOW WILL LIKELY CAUSE THE
GREATEST IMPACTS EAST OF THE CASCADES...SO HAVE ROLLED THE HIGHLIGHT
OF HIGH WINDS INTO THE WINTER STORM WARNING PRODUCT FOR THE EAST
SIDE. GUSTS TO 80 MPH ARE LIKELY NEAR THE SUMMER LAKE AREA
WEDNESDAY. LASTLY...MEDFORD AND ROSEBURG COULD EASILY SEE VERY
GUSTY SOUTHEAST WINDS...THOUGH THE WESTERLY COMPONENT AT 700MB DOES
NOT MAKE IT QUITE A SLAM DUNK. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT SAYS
OTHERWISE...SO WILL LET DAY SHIFT DECIDE ON THE TYPE OF PRODUCT TO
BRING ATTENTION TO WHAT WILL BE A WINDY WEDNESDAY IN THE ROGUE
VALLEY AND UMPQUA BASIN.

TURNING THE ATTENTION TO SNOW...HAVE ISSUED A HOST OF WINTER WEATHER
PRODUCTS TO COVER THE DYNAMIC SITUATION. MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT
SNOW LEVELS WEST AND PARTIALLY ALONG THE CASCADES WILL RISE
WEDNESDAY TO 5000 FEET AND HIGHER...KEEPING THE WEST SIDE GENERALLY
WET EXCEPT FOR A BRIEF TRANSITION FROM COLD TO WARM LATE TONIGHT.
LINGERING COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE IN PLACES LIKE THE ILLINOIS VALLEY
AND NEAR SEXTON SUMMIT COULD CAUSE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW AND ICY
ROADWAYS LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. HAVE LOWERED SNOW
LEVELS IN THE ILLINOIS VALLEY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS AND WILL LET THE
DAY SHIFT FOLLOW WITH A HEADLINE IF DEEMED NECESSARY. WESTERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY WILL SEE HEAVY SNOWFALL ABOVE 4000 FEET LATE TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE SNOW LEVELS RISE
ABOVE 5000 FEET. NEXT...THE HIGH CASCADES ABOVE 5000 FEET SEEM A
SHOE-IN FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE FEET OF SNOW...HELPING OUT WITH A
DISMAL SNOWPACK SO FAR THIS YEAR. SOME RAIN WILL OCCASIONALLY FALL
AROUND 5000 FEET OR SO...BUT IN GENERAL SNOW SHOULD ACCUMULATE MORE
OFTEN THAN IT WILL RAIN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

MODELS ARE POINTING TOWARD COLD AIR STICKING AROUND FROM MOUNT
SHASTA EAST AND NORTH INTO KLAMATH AND LAKE COUNTIES. THEREFORE...A
WINTER STORM WARNING HIGHLIGHTS EXPECTED HEAVY SNOW FOR MOUNT SHASTA
CITY AND ELEVATIONS ABOVE LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. LAST BUT NOT
LEAST...MOST MODELS AGREE THAT ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL MAKE IT ACROSS
THE CASCADES TO IMPACT MUCH OF THE EAST SIDE...RESULTING IN 10 TO 20
INCHES OF SNOW THROUGH THURSDAY. THE 00Z GFS KEPT MOST OF THE EAST
SIDE DRY BUT NOW THE 06Z GFS IS BACK IN LINE WITH THE OTHER MODELS.
WINDS ACCOMPANYING THE SNOWFALL WILL BE STRONG...MAKING TRAVEL VERY
HAZARDOUS. ADDITIONALLY...A PERIOD OF SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN IS
POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...CAUSING EVEN MORE TRAVEL TROUBLES.

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO THE FORECAST DURING THIS SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM.

AVIATION...FLYING WEATHER WILL BEGIN TO DEGRADE SIGNIFICANTLY
TONIGHT. A MIX OF MVFR AND VFR CEILINGS AMIDST SOME SNOW SHOWERS
TODAY WILL SHIFT TO MVFR AND IFR LATE TONIGHT AS MODERATE TO HEAVY
PRECIPITATION MOVES IN...WITH THE WORST CONDITIONS AT THE COAST.
STRONG WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL GENERATE LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR AT MANY LOCATIONS...AND STRONG WINDS AFFECTING TERRAIN WILL
CAUSE STRONG TURBULENCE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION WILL IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AT LEAST.
