AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
240 AM PST SUN JAN 15 2012

.DISCUSSION...THE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PROGRESS THROUGH MY
FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING AND WILL BE ENTIRELY THROUGH BY DAWN.
COLD ADVECTION IS UNDERWAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE PACNW AND WILL BRING
MUCH COOLER WEATHER WITH LOW SNOW LEVELS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. IR SATELLITE SHOWS A LARGE AREA OF OPEN CELLULAR CONVECTION
OUT OVER THE OCEAN WHICH WILL BE MOVING ONSHORE TODAY, PROVIDING
US WITH PLENTY OF SHOWER ACTIVITY FROM THE CASCADES/SISKIYOUS
WEST, MOST OF WHICH WILL BE SNOW. THE MAIN UPPER LOW IS CURRENTLY
APPROACHING THE NW WASHINGTON COAST AND WILL SWING INLAND THIS
AFTERNOON. AS THIS MAIN TROUGH AXIS AND THE CORE OF COLD AIR ALOFT
CROSS OVER MY FORECAST ARE THIS AFTERNOON, SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
PEAK. STILL EXPECTING MAINLY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS OUTSIDE THE
MOUNTAINS, BUT ANY ACCUMULATION WILL PRODUCE IMPACTS. HOWEVER,
WHEN WE BEGIN TO COOL FROM LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING
WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY TIME TO SEE IMPACTS. THE PASSES AND HIGHER
HILLS WILL SEE THE HIGHER END OF THE ACCUMULATIONS (2-3 INCHES),
BUT DURING THIS PERIOD ALL LOCATIONS INLAND FROM THE COAST COULD
SEE ANYWHERE FROM A DUSTING TO AN INCH. THE CURRENT FORECAST AND
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY COVERS THIS PRETTY WELL AND I HAVEN'T
CHANGED IT. SNOW SHOWERS ON THE EAST SIDE WILL BE MUCH MORE
SCATTERED AND OF LITTLE IMPACT.

SHOWER ACTIVITY DECREASES TONIGHT, BUT THEN INCREASES AGAIN OVER
THE WEST SIDE LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS THE UPPER JET
STRENGTHENS AND TAKES AIM AT THE PACNW. AGAIN, SNOW LEVELS WILL BE
LOW DURING THIS PERIOD AND THESE SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TO BE SNOW.
POSSIBLE ACCUMULATIONS DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE SIMILAR TO
TODAY...WITH 2-3 INCHES POSSIBLE OVER THE HILLS AND MOUNTAINS AND
A TRACE-1 INCH IN THE VALLEYS. HAVE DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE ANY
ADVISORIES FOR THE TUESDAY PERIOD, PARTLY TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH
CURRENT HEADLINES, BUT ALSO TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW
TODAY PANS OUT.

THE MOST TROUBLING FORECAST PERIOD IS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
AS A VERY MOIST WARM FRONT APPROACHES WITH COLD AIR POSSIBLY STILL
TRAPPED IN THE VALLEYS. WE COULD SEE A PERIOD OF SNOW OR FREEZING
RAIN OVER SOME WEST SIDE VALLEYS TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE IT GOES TO
RAIN. AND WE COULD SEE A MIXED BAG OF PRECIPITATION WELL INTO
WEDNESDAY ON THE EAST SIDE. OF COURSE THIS WOULD DEPEND ON HOW MUCH
WIND WE GET AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT TO SCOUR OUT THE COLD AIR.
FREEZING RAIN IS A VERY RARE OCCURENCE IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD FOR
A REASON, AND AT THIS POINT, I TEND TO THINK WINDS WILL MIX OUT THE
COLD AIR. GIVEN THE VERY TENUOUS NATURE OF THIS PERIOD, WILL NOT BE
CHANGING THE GOING FORECAST. BUT THIS PERIOD WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED CLOSELY AS FREEZING RAIN IS ALSO A VERY HIGH IMPACT EVENT,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE HIGH QPF WE'RE DEALING WITH. ONE THING WE CAN
HAVE CONFIDENCE ABOUT TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY IS THE WINDS
OVER THE WATERS AND ALONG THE COAST. THUS WE WILL BE ISSUING A
STORM WATCH FOR THE WATERS AND A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE COAST.

HAVEN'T MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST BEYOND WEDNESDAY. WE ARE
STILL LOOKING AT A VERY WET, WINDY, AND STORMY PERIOD THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK AND PROBABLY INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS WELL. -WRIGHT

&&

.AVIATION...SATELLITE SHOWS A LOT OF LOW TOPPED CONVECTION
BEGINNING TO COME ONSHORE WHICH WILL PROVIDE US WITH -SHSN AND
MVFR CIGS THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. -SHSN WILL BECOME NUMEROUS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE CORE OF COLD AIR COMES OVER AND THEN
DECREASE IN THE EVENING. CIGS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE MVFR THROUGH
THE DAY, EXCEPT BRIEFLY LOWERERING TO IFR DURING ANY SNOW SHOWERS.
EXPECT ONLY ISOLD-SCT -SHSN ON THE EAST SIDE AND NORCAL TODAY.
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL BE WIDESPREAD TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH
MOIST ONSHORE FLOW AND CLOUDS PILING UP AGAINST THE RANGES.
