Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 8:55 AM PDT, 5 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
855 AM PDT SUN AUG 18 2013
.DISCUSSION...MORNING KMFR SOUNDING SHOWED DRY AIR SUBSTANTIALLY
MORE ELEVATED THAN EXPECTED LAST NIGHT - UP ABOVE 5500 FEET. AS A
RESULT, DESPITE THE OFFSHORE WINDS DEVELOPING, MOST RIDGE TOP
RECOVERIES WERE VERY GOOD IN SW OREGON AND NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA.
THAT BEING SAID, EXPECT THIS SCENARIO TO CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO
TONIGHT AND AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT. PREVIOUS AFD COVERS THE OFFSHORE
FLOW AND EXPECTED OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
VERY WELL...SO WILL NOT BE MAKING ANY CHANGES HERE AS THE LATEST
GUIDANCE IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS RUNS.
THE CUT OFF LOW OFF THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COAST WILL MEANDER
SOUTHWEST OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY THROUGH TUESDAY, THEN MOVE ONSHORE
LATER WEDNESDAY...EVENTUALLY MOVING ACROSS THE CWA WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. EXPECT MOISTURE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE TODAY THROUGH
MONDAY. THERE IS JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM NEAR THE
HIGHER PEAKS OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THIS EVENING. LATEST GUIDANCE
IS BACKING OFF A BIT ON CONVECTION FOR MONDAY. NAM12 IS MOST
BULLISH WITH POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED STORMS IN PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN CA AS EARLY AS LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. OTHER
MODELS WOULD KEEP ACTIVITY ISOLATED. WILL HAVE TO ANALYZE THIS
FURTHER WITH RESPECT TO CURRENT FIRE WEATHER HEADLINES. AS THE
LOW EDGES NORTHEASTWARD, EXPECT AN UPTICK IN SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY
TUESDAY ON THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST PERIPHERY OF THE CUT OFF. THIS
SHOULD LEAD TO BETTER THUNDER CHANCES FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR EAST SIDE OREGON ZONES. WE PROBABLY
BEGIN TO SEE MORE NOCTURNAL ACTIVITY TUESDAY NIGHT AS ELEVATED
INSTABILITY AND SHORTWAVES ARRIVING FROM THE GREAT BASIN MOVE
THROUGH EAST AND SOUTH OF THE CASCADES. THE LIGHTNING THREAT
INCREASES SUBSTANTIALLY LATER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE CORE
OF THE UPPER LOW MOVES INLAND AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH THE AREA.
THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS AS PWATS
INCREASE TO 1.25-1.50 INCHES WEST OF THE CASCADES AND EVEN NEAR
1.00 INCH EAST OF THE CASCADES. WITH 1000-1500 J/KG OF CAPE,
EXPECT SOME STORMS WILL ALSO HAVE STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS AND HAIL.
MOST OF THE COVERAGE WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF THE CASCADES, BUT
THIS WOULD BE THE TIME FRAME THAT SOME ACTIVITY COULD REACH PORTIONS
OF THE WEST SIDE. SPILDE
&&
.AVIATION...AREAS OF MVFR/IFR MARINE STRATUS WILL PERSIST THROUGH
LATE MORNING IN PARTS OF THE UMPQUA BASIN AND COOS COUNTY WITH A
FINGER OF FOG STRETCHING NORTH TO NEAR BROOKINGS. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE TO VFR MOST OF THOSE LOCATIONS BY 18Z. INLAND MOSTLY
DIFFUSE SMOKE IS PRESENT IN THE VALLEY SURROUNDING THE WILDFIRES.
AREAS OF THICKER SMOKE MAY CAUSE SOME LIMITATION TO VISIBILITY,
BUT MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN VFR. SPILDE
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 AM PDT SUN AUG 18 2013/
DISCUSSION...
NORTH THROUGH EAST OFFSHORE FLOW 10-15 MPH WITH GUSTS 20-25 MPH
COMMENCED OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUES THROUGH THIS MORNING ACROSS
THE HIGHER RIDGES OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHWESTERN OREGON.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIAL, HOWEVER,
GENERALLY IN THE 60-80% RANGE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND 80-100%
IN OREGON. AS LOW PRESSURE SPINS NEAR MONTERREY TODAY AND HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGES IN FROM THE EASTERN PACIFIC INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST THIS FLOW WILL CONTINUE, TURNING A BIT LESS OFFSHORE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
SUBSTANTIAL SCRUTINY WAS GIVEN TO THE UNIQUE OFFSHORE FLOW PATTERN
EXPECTED ALONG AND NEAR THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS AND INTO
NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA THAT IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS. AS
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER CALIFORNIA DRIFTS NORTHEASTWARD AND THE
HIGH REMAINS OFFSHORE THE CURRENT 10-20 KNOTS OF FLOW IN THE
925-850MB LAYER IN THE AREA OF CONCERN INCREASES TO 15-25 KNOTS.
THE LOWEST RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ARE LIKELY TO BE ON MONDAY
MORNING, IN THE 35% TO 45% RANGE, LOWEST IN THE CURRY AND SISKIYOU
COUNTY COASTAL MOUNTAINS. IT IS NOTABLE THAT PERFECT PROGNOSTIC
GUIDANCE AND FIRE WEATHER GUIDANCE IS GENERALLY A GOOD DEAL HIGHER
ON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES THAN WHAT WE HAVE COME UP WITH FROM
ANALYZING MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND RUNNING TEMPERATURE
ANALOGS. OFTEN IN THIS AREA IN THIS SITUATION, MIN TEMPS TEND TO BE
ON THE HIGHER END AND MAX RH'S TEND TO BE ON THE LOWER END OF
GUIDANCE.
THE PICTURE GETS A BIT MORE COMPLICATED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
MORNINGS IN THAT THE MODELS GENERALLY INDICATE COOLING IN COASTAL
MOUNTAIN AREAS WITH THE NAM12 INDICATING INCREASED MOISTURE AT THE
925MB LEVEL OVER AND NEAR THE UMPQUA DIVIDE. WHILE THIS SEEMS
STRANGE AT FIRST GLANCE, IT IS QUITE PLAUSIBLE GIVEN THAT THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM PUSHING UP FROM THE SOUTH WILL BE INCREASING THE
WIND FLOW AND PRESSURE GRADIENT. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS
THE OFFSHORE WINDS LOOK AS IF THEY WILL CONTINUE, THOUGH WEAKEN
SOME ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR HOW
GUIDANCE PERFORMS OVER TIME. AT THIS POINT NO WATCHES HAVE BEEN
RAISED FOR THE OFFSHORE FLOW, AS WE WOULD BE BUCKING ALL RELATIVE
HUMIDITY NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IF WE WERE TO DO SO. IT APPEARS TO BE
A SIGNIFICANT NORTHEAST WIND EVENT, BUT RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD
GENERALLY REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.
ANALOG TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT HIGHS ARE MORE LIKELY
TO REMAIN ON THE HIGHER END OF GUIDANCE THROUGH MONDAY.
REGARDING THUNDERSTORMS, HAVE CONTINUED SOME SLIGHT CHANCE TODAY
GIVEN INDICATIONS FROM THE NAM12. IF WE DO SEE ANY STORMS TODAY
THEY SHOULD PRIMARILY BE OVER OR NEAR THE CALIFORNIA CASCADE
CREST. WHILE STORM MOTION WOULD LIKELY BE SLOW, HIGH BASED ON THE
STORMS MEAN THEY WOULD BE PRIMARILY DRY EXCEPT ON THE HIGH PEAKS.
THE GFS GUIDANCE IS DRIER AND INDICATES NO REAL THREAT FOR TODAY.
ON MONDAY THE GFS40 REMAINS STINGY ON ACTIVITY FOR OUR AREA WHILE
THE NAM12 INDICATES A MUCH GREATER CHANCE OF LIGHTNING. AT THIS
POINT IT APPEARS THE BEST CHANCE OF LIGHTNING WILL BE FROM THE
MEDICINE LAKE HIGHLANDS TO THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA.
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY MODEL GUIDANCE STILL STRONGLY SUPPORTS
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE AREA AS WE GO FROM BEING ON THE
NORTH AND NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW TO UNDER IT.
MODELS INDICATE SURGES OF ACTIVITY RIDING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST
AND EAST DURING THIS TIME PERIOD WITH THE BEST CHANCES OF ACTIVITY
FLIRTING WITH OR REACHING THE OREGON WEST SIDE TUESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY, CENTERED ON WEDNESDAY. THE GFS40 AND NAM12 BOTH
INDICATE PLENTY OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE TUESDAY, BUT
LIFTED INDICES PRIMARILY SUPPORT ONLY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE. TUESDAY EVENING AND NIGHT A SURGE ARRIVING FROM THE
GREAT BASIN SHOULD INCREASE ACTIVITY. WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
APPEAR TO BE THE GREATEST THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE DAYS. STORMS ON
THESE TWO DAYS WILL HAVE AN INCREASED CHANCE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL, BUT ALSO MORE LIGHTNING.
THE SILVER LINING IN THE LONGER RANGE IS THAT A TROUGH SEEMS
LIKELY TO SET UP ALONG OR NEAR THE WEST COAST NEXT WEEKEND AND
INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THIS SHOULD BRING TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW
NORMAL TO THE WEST SIDE AS WELL AS AN INCREASED MARINE INFLUENCE FOR
WEEK 2. BTL
