AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
809 PM PST TUE DEC 17 2013

.UPDATE...LOW CLOUDS AND FOG CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY FEATURE
OVER MUCH OF THE WEST SIDE...BUT RELIEF WILL SOON ARRIVE AS A COLD
FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW...MIXING THE AIR
AND BRINGING AT LEAST A TEMPORARY END TO THE AIR STAGNATION AND
FOG. NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST
PACKAGE...ASIDE FROM ADDING MORE CLOUD COVER TO THE COAST NORTH OF
CAPE BLANCO...AND ADJUSTING THE WINDS TO FIT CURRENT OBSERVATIONS.
ALL OTHER PARAMETERS LOOK TO BE ON TRACK. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON
THE UPCOMING FRONT...SEE THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 18/00Z TAF CYCLE.

VALLEY FOG LIFTED VERY BRIEFLY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT LIFR VIS/CIGS
CAME RIGHT BACK IN AT NIGHTFALL AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE
NIGHT. STRATUS WITH IFR/LIFR CIGS HAS EDGED ONTO THE COOS COAST
(INCLUDING KOTH) AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN THERE ALL NIGHT AS WELL. IT
WILL ALSO WORK ITS WAY DOWN THE COAST TO AT LEAST CAPE BLANCO. EAST
SIDE VALLEYS MAY SEE PATCHY LIFR FOG LATE TONIGHT...OTHERWISE VFR
WILL PERSIST. A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTH EARLY
TOMORROW MORNING AND MAY BE ENOUGH TO DISRUPT THE FOG/STRATUS NORTH
OF THE UMPQUA DIVIDE...BUT AREAS FURTHER SOUTH (INCLUDING KMFR) WILL
LIKELY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL A STRONGER FRONT COMES IN LATE WEDNESDAY
TO GET RID OF THE FOG ALTOGETHER.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 245 PM PST TUE DEC 17 2013/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...ONE LOOK AT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
THIS AFTERNOON AND ITS CLEAR THAT THIS STRONG RIDGING AND STAGNANT
WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE COMING TO AN END SOON. TROUGHING OVER THE
GULF OF ALASKA IS BEGINNING TO SHIFT SOUTH AND EAST AND WILL USHER
IN A COLD FRONT TO THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS
CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN TERMS OF THE FRONTS TIMING
AND THE COLD AIR BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. THE
FRONT SHOULD REACH THE COAST LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING AND PROGRESS
THROUGH TO AREAS EAST OF THE CASCADES BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
THUS...THE AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY IS SET TO END THURSDAY
AFTERNOON WITH THE IDEA THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL FRESHEN UP THE
AIR BY THAT TIME.

PRECIPITATION WITH THE FRONT WILL NOT BE IMPRESSIVE WITH MAINLY A
TENTH OF AN INCH OR LESS EXPECTED OVER THE CWA. OPERATIONAL MODEL TRENDS
ALONG WITH SREF PLUME TRENDS HAVE SHOWN STEADILY DECREASING
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. SNOW LEVELS WILL
DROP SHARPLY WEDNESDAY...SO ONE CAN EXPECT SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER
THE PASSES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY EVEN DOWN TO VALLEY
FLOORS. ONE FEATURE THAT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED IS A SECONDARY
SHORTWAVE THAT MOVES DOWN THE COAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BRINGING THE
POTENTIAL OF SNOW TO THE COAST IF ENOUGH COLD AIR FILTERS IN BY
THEN. ACCUMULATION OF SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS WILL BE IN THE RANGE
OF A FEW INCHES SO THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE A LOW IMPACT EVENT.

THURSDAY WILL FEATURE CLEAN AIR AND PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...WITH TEMPERATURES TRENDING WARMER IN WEST SIDE
VALLEYS AND COLDER IN THE MOUNTAINS. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THAT INSTABILITY IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL LIKELY PREVENT ANY
FOG FROM FORMING IN VALLEYS THURSDAY MORNING.

A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY ARRIVING FRIDAY MAKES THE WEATHER
INTERESTING AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. TYPICALLY A COLD AIR MASS
LIKE THE ONE THAT SETTLES INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY IS NOT EASILY
REMOVED. SO ANY LINGERING COLD AIR FRIDAY WHEN OVERRUNNING
PRECIPITATION BEGINS COULD INITIALLY BEGIN AS SNOW AND THEN
TRANSITION TO RAIN DURING THE DAY. TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION...AND
HOW MUCH...WILL LIKELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON WHAT OCCURS ON FRIDAY. WILL
BE FINE-TUNING THIS IN FUTURE FORECASTS. FOR NOW...THE FORECAST
SHOWS A CHANCE OF SNOW IN SOME OF THE WEST SIDE VALLEYS FRIDAY
MORNING...TRANSITIONING TO RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY, MAINLY FROM THE CASCADES WEST.
THEN EXPECT BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE TO NUDGE INTO THE AREA
LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY TO BRING DRIER WEATHER. HIGH PRESSURE MAY
BE BRIEF THOUGH AS SOME MODEL SOLUTIONS INDICATE ANOTHER FRONT
WEAKENING THE HIGH PRESSURE AND MOVING INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY. THIS
FRONT MAY BRING LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA, MAINLY FROM THE
CASCADES WEST. MODEL VARIABILITY REMAINS HIGH THOUGH ON THE STRENGTH
OF THIS FRONT AND WHETHER IT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. BEHIND THIS
FRONT...ON TUESDAY EXPECT HIGH PRESSURE OFFSHORE TO STRENGTH OVER
THE AREA WITH MAINLY DRY WEATHER ACROSS THE CWA.
