AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
756 PM PDT FRI MAR 28 2014

.DISCUSSION...WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS AFFECTING SW OREGON
AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TONIGHT...COURTESY OF A MOISTURE PLUME AND
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. EVERYBODY IS PARTAKING IN
THE RAINFALL THIS EVENING...AS 6-HOUR PRECIPITATION TOTALS RANGE
FROM ABOUT A HALF INCH IN MEDFORD TO AN INCH AT THE COAST RANGE.
THE EAST SIDE WILL GET THEIR SHARE AS WELL TONIGHT...WITH A
QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED IN MOST PLACES. A
HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK AT ESFMFR HIGHLIGHTS THE RIVER RISES THAT
CONTINUE TONIGHT DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL.

TEMPERATURES ARE FALLING BEHIND THE FRONT...AND THIS WILL BRING
SUBSTANTIAL SNOWFALL TO AREAS ABOVE 5000 FEET. THE LAST DAYLIGHT
WEBCAM IMAGES AT DIAMOND LAKE SHOWED THE TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO
SNOW WITH 33 DEGREES BEING REPORTED THERE. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR THE CASCADES ABOVE 5000 FEET AT WSWMFR SUGGESTS HIGH SNOWFALL
RATES TONIGHT...RESULTING IN PASSES LIKE LAKE OF THE WOODS ON 140 TO
HIGHWAY 62 NEAR CRATER LAKE BECOMING SNOW COVERED AND CREATING
DIFFICULT TRAVEL CONDITIONS.  SOME SNOW IS LIKELY TOO ALONG HIGHWAY
97 EAST OF THE CASCADES...BUT THIS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO A FEW INCHES
BECAUSE BY THE TIME TEMPERATURES COOL OFF ENOUGH FOR ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL...PRECIPITATION WILL BE WINDING DOWN.

AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS OVER THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW AND THIS
WILL MAINTAIN SHOWERS AND COOL TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA. LIFTED
INDICES DROP TO BELOW ZERO AND 500MB TEMPERATURES DIP TO -28C...SO
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TOMORROW. SMALL HAIL WILL LIKELY
ACCOMPANY ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM...SO TRAVELERS SHOULD BE
PREPARED FOR EXTRA SLICK ROADS WHEN THUNDERSTORMS HIT AS HAIL COULD
COVER THE ROADS.  ADDITIONALLY...GROWERS WITH COOL SEASON RECENTLY
PLANTED VEGETABLE SEEDLINGS SHOULD TAKE NOTE AND MAY WANT TO COVER
THEM.

UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES IN GENERAL FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR SO...AND
THESE RAINS...AND POTENTIAL HIGH ELEVATION SNOWS...COULD HELP
DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN THE AREA.

PLEASE SEE THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS ON THE
CONTINUED ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN.

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 29/00Z TAF CYCLE...FROM THE CASCADES
WEST...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS WITH ISOLD IFR CIGS/VSBYS WITH HIGHER
TERRAIN OBSCURED WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY...THOUGH THERE MAY BE
A BREIF PERIOD OF IMPROVEMENT FROM MID-MORNING SATURDAY INTO
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  EAST OF THE CASCADES...MOSTLY VFR CONDTIONS
WILL PREVAIL...BUT THERE WILL BE LOCAL MVFR CIGS WITH AREAS OF
HIGHER TERRAIN OBSCURED.

&&

.MARINE...ONE FRONT MOVED ONSHORE THIS AFTERNOON AND ANOTHER FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA SATURDAY...WHICH WILL BRING SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WINDS TO THE AREA. HEAVY WEST SWELL WILL DEVELOP
TONIGHT...THEN SUBSIDE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. STEEP SEAS WILL
PERSIST AS STILL ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS. ANOTHER
ROUND OF MODERATE WEST SWELL WILL MOVE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE TUESDAY...THEN HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD WEDNESDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 324 PM PDT FRI MAR 28 2014/

DISCUSSION...AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE WITH
SYSTEM AFTER SYSTEM CYCLING THROUGH THE REGION THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK. TODAY'S SYSTEM HUNG A LITTLE BIT LONGER AT THE COAST
THAN THE MODELS JUST THIS MORNING INDICATED...WITH THE SYSTEM
STRENGTHENING AS A RESULT. THIS STRENGTHENING RESULTED IN STRONGER
WINDS SOUTH OF BLANCO AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND HAVE ISSUED A HIGH
WIND WARNING FOR THAT AREA. THIS SYSTEM HAS A GOOD TROPICAL TAP
BUT THE SYSTEM SHOULD PROGRESS QUICKLY AND NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN
EFFECT OTHER THAN SOME RAPID RISES IN STREAMS AND CREEKS AND A
QUICK BUMP IN RIVER STAGES THAT DO NOT LOOK TO REACH FLOODING.
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH SATURDAY WITH STRONG ONSHORE FLOW
IN A COOL AIR MASS...CONTINUING SHOWERS UNTIL THE FLOW TURNS
SOUTHERLY AHEAD OF THE NEXT FRONT THAT MOVES ONSHORE MONDAY
MORNING. THE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL THAT BRINGS THIS FRONT IN SLOWLY
MIGRATES SOUTH AND INTO THE CENTRAL CA COAST BY TUESDAY
MORNING...WITH SHORT WAVES ROTATING AROUND IT...EACH BRINGING
ROUND AFTER ROUND OF SHOWERS THROUGH THE REGION THROUGH THE TIME
FRAME.

LONG TERM...LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

THE 12Z ECMWF AND GFS MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
A DEEP AND COLD CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 100
TO 150 NAUTICAL MILES OFFSHORE FROM SOUTHERN OREGON EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING THEN MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. AS A RESULT, A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND INSTABILITY SHOWERS WOULD BE FOCUSED SOUTH OF
OUR AREA. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LIGHT WRAP-AROUND SHOWERS AND SNOW
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED IN OUR AREA WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION FROM SOUTHERN CURRY COUNTY INTO WESTERN AND SOUTHERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY. THE SNOW LEVEL LOOKS TO BE UNUSUALLY LOW FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR, AT 3000 TO 3500 FEET, BUT ANYTHING MUCH MORE THAN A
DUSTING LOOKS TO BE RESTRICTED TO THE SIERRA NEVADA.

I HAVE MAINTAINED A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS TUESDAY NIGHT
WITH BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS INDICATING A TREND OF DECREASING
SHOWERS AND SNOW SHOWERS AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES EAST AND FARTHER
AWAY FROM THE AREA. DURING THIS TIME...AN EAST TO NORTHEAST FLOW
ALOFT WOULD RESULT IN THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE EAST SIDE AND OVER THE CASCADES.

POPS WERE DECREASED FOR WEDNESDAY WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF WEAK
RIDGING EXPECTED TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. A FEW LIGHT OVERRUNNING
SHOWERS WOULD NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST
INTO DOUGLAS COUNTY.

LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE GFS SOLUTION IS MORE PROGRESSIVE AND
INDICATES THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL REACH THE COAST WHILE THE
ECMWF HOLDS OFF THE ARRIVAL OF A WEAKER VERSION OF THE FRONT UNTIL
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THUS, THE FORECAST DETAILS BETWEEN
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT ARE UNCERTAIN BUT CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH THAT AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE. ANOTHER COLD UPPER LOW IS
EXPECTED TO SEND A COUPLE OF MODERATE TO STRONG COLD FRONTS INTO THE
REGION BETWEEN THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE END OF THE WEEK.  /DW
