AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
922 PM PST WED JAN 18 2012

.DISCUSSION...MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE GRIDS THIS EVENING.
SNOW LEVELS REMAIN A BIT TRICKY ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE
COLDER AIR HAS HELD ON A BIT LONGER AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. IN
GENERAL THOUGH...SNOW LEVELS ARE RUNNING BETWEEN 2500-3500 FEET
SOUTH OF MOUNT SHASTA...3500-4500 FEET AT THE OR/CA BORDER AND
WELL ABOVE THAT OVER THE WEST SIDE. PRECIPITATION HAS TAPERED OFF
OVER PORTIONS OF THE EAST SIDE FOR THE TIME BEING BUT IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP AGAIN LATER TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. SNOW LEVELS ARE
AROUND 4500 FEET OVER THE EAST SIDE. DO CONTINUE TO EXPECT A
GRADUAL RISE IN SNOW LEVELS OVERNIGHT...BUT STILL EXPECTING
PLENTY OF SNOW FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN AROUND CRATER LAKE OVERNIGHT
INTO THURSDAY.

CURRENT SATELLITE SHOWING LARGE PLUME OF COLD CLOUD TOPS
ASSOCIATED WITH NEXT WAVE MOVING INSIDE 140 W. MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR COASTAL AREAS OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY AND
THE MAIN IMPACT THERE WILL BE THE SWELLING OF THE STREAMS AND
RIVERS. CURRENTLY HAVE A FLOOD WATCH OUT FOR THE COAST AND ALSO
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER ROGUE BASIN IN JOSEPHINE AND CURRY COUNTIES.
A FLOOD WARNING IS ALSO OUT FOR THE SOUTH FORK OF THE COQUILLE AT
MYRTLE POINT. FUTURE WARNINGS MAY BE NECESSARY AS RAINFALL
AND RUNOFF INCREASES OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY.

WINDS HAVE EASED A BIT BEHIND THE FIRST SYSTEM THAT MOVED THROUGH
EARLIER TODAY...BUT ARE EXPECTED RISE AGAIN LATER TONIGHT INTO
THURSDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. NOT EXPECTING WINDS
QUITE AS STRONG AS TODAY...BUT STRONG NONETHELESS. HIGH WIND
WARNINGS ARE OUT ALONG THE COAST AND ALSO OVER THE EAST SIDE
NEAR SUMMER LAKE. WIND ADVISORIES ARE STILL OUT FOR THE SHASTA
VALLEY NEAR WEED. SOME OF THESE WINDS MAY ALSO REACH INTO THE
SOUTHERN END OF THE ROGUE AND ILLINOIS VALLEYS AROUND DAYBREAK
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...HAZARDOUS FLYING CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
INTO THURSDAY AS ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES IN. THIS WILL
CAUSE ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND MODERATE TO
STRONG TURBULENCE OVER THE INLAND TAF SITES. THIS SHOULD EASE
SOMEWHAT THOUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS UPPER LEVEL WINDS WEAKEN.
CIGS WILL BE PRIMARILY VFR TO MVFR, BUT LOCAL IFR MAY BE
ENCOUNTERED WITH WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS IN RAIN AND
SNOW.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 404 PM PST WED JAN 18 2012/

DISCUSSION...
AN EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE PLUME IS EVIDENT ON THE SATELLITE
AS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF STORMS MOVES OVER OUR AREA. THIS FIRST
SYSTEM HAS ALREADY PRODUCED HURRICANE FORCE WINDS FOR MUCH OF THE
MARINE ZONES...HURRICANE FORCE GUSTS ALONG THE COAST...HEAVY SNOW
FOR THE MOUNTAINS...AND DAMAGING WINDS ON THE EAST SIDE. SNOW
LEVELS RANGE FROM 2000 FEET NEAR DUNSMUIR TO NEARLY 6500 FEET ON
THE MEDFORD SOUNDING. RAIN CONTINUES TO BE VERY HEAVY FOR MANY
COASTAL LOCATIONS AND THIS LOOKS TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. SNOW LEVELS ARE STARTING TO RISE FROM WEST TO EAST AND THIS
TREND WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. SOME LOCATIONS WILL SEE SNOW TURN
OVER TO RAIN AND COULD EVEN SEE SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR
PORTIONS OF THE NIGHT.
ANOTHER 995 MB LOW IS PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA AROUND MIDDAY
THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER BOUT OF WINDS, BUT NOT QUITE AS
STRONG AS WHAT WE SAW TODAY. THE BIGGEST IMPACT FROM THIS SYSTEM
WILL CERTAINLY BE THE PRECIPITATION. THE COASTAL RANGE WILL SEE AN
ALMOST NON-STOP RAIN THROUGH A MAJORITY OF THE DAY TOMORROW.
FLOODING CONCERNS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE HYDROLOGY DISCUSSION
AND THE FLOOD WARNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND 5000
FEET THURSDAY, SO MOUNTAIN PASSES AND HIGHER TERRAIN WILL CONTINUE
TO BE IMPACTED. PORTIONS OF THE CASCADES COULD STILL SEE ANOTHER 1
TO 3 FEET OF SNOW BY THURSDAY EVENING.
AT THIS POINT...EARLY FRIDAY DOES APPEAR TO BE A RELATIVE BREAK
IN THE WET WEATHER FOR MOST AREAS. HOWEVER ANOTHER STORM IS
ALREADY PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE COAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

MARINE...
HURRICANE FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED TO
STRONG GALES. WINDS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY...BUT AS THE LULL IN
SHORT LIVED...HAVE KEPT A GALE WARNING UP THROUGH THE EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT HOURS...BRIDGING OVER INTO THE NEXT EVENT BEGINNING
THURSDAY MORNING. ANOTHER FRONT MOVES INTO THE WATERS AT THAT
TIME...AND SHOULD KEEP WINDS ABOVE GALE CRITERIA THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. A SLIGHT DROP IN SEAS IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER
SEAS WILL REMAIN VERY LARGE AND STEEP THROUGH THURSDAY DUE TO THE
CONTINUING TRAIN OF SYSTEMS MOVING INTO THE REGION...AND CONSTANT
INTRUSION OF SWELL TRAINS INTO OUR WATERS. FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK...A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ONSHORE...AND WILL LIKELY PRODUCE GALE FORCE WINDS AND HIGH SEAS
OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT.

HYDROLOGY...
A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFORT HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON HYDROLOGIC
PRODUCTS TODAY WITH CONTINUED PRECIPITATION AND MINIMAL BREAKS IN
THE ACTION. MANY PLACES ALONG THE COAST HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 3 TO
5 INCHES OF RAINFALL. RADAR AND SATELLITE SHOW PLENTY MORE
MOISTURE UPSTREAM DIRECTED RIGHT AT THE SOUTHERN OREGON AND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BORDER. RAIN MAY LIGHTEN SOME IN INTENSITY
THIS EVENING BUT WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. IT WILL THEN
PICK BACK UP AGAIN AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES IN LATE
MORNING THURSDAY.
