AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
802 PM PDT MON APR 21 2014

.DISCUSSION...EVENING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING A STRONG UPPER
TROUGH OFFSHORE. A POTENT SHORT WAVE ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD
SLOW THE PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT, WHICH IS MOVING ONSHORE
CURRENTLY, AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT...WITH A SURFACE LOW TRYING TO
DEVELOP ALONG IT NEAR THE NORCAL COAST. THIS WILL ALLOW AN AXIS OF
DEFORMATION AND STRONG FRONTAL LIFTING TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
RESULTING IN A PERIOD OF RAIN FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. RAIN WILL
OVERSPREAD THE REMAINDER OF THE WEST SIDE THIS EVENING, THEN REACH
EAST SIDE AREAS OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. AS THE AREA OF
LIFT HEADS EAST, RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TO SHOWERS OVERNIGHT ALONG
THE COAST AND BY DAYBREAK OVER THE VALLEYS WEST OF THE CASCADES.
MOST PLACES FROM THE CASCADES WEST WILL END UP WITH 0.25-0.50 OF
AN INCH, BUT SOME AREAS MAY GET 0.50-1.00 INCH. ON THE EAST SIDE,
EXPECT AMOUNTS IN THE 0.10-0.25 OF AN INCH RANGE, BUT THE DESERTS
EAST OF LAKEVIEW WILL WIND UP WITH A BIT LESS. SNOW LEVELS DROP TO
3500-4500 FEET BY TUESDAY MORNING, SO SOME OF THE HIGHER PASSES
MAY BE IMPACTED WITH SLIPPERY ROADS (SPSMFR). SHOWERS WILL
DIMINISH GREATLY ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AFTERNOON, BUT IT WILL BE
BREEZY AND MUCH COOLER THAN IT HAS BEEN RECENTLY. SPILDE

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON 22/00Z TAF CYCLE...A FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES
THE COAST THIS EVENING WITH WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS AND OCCASIONAL MVFR
VIS IN RAIN WEST OF THE CASCADES. RAIN WILL DEVELOP AT KMFR REDUCING
CONDITIONS TO MVFR AS WELL THIS EVENING. EAST OF THE CASCADES,
SCATTERED SHOWERS THIS EVENING WILL BECOME A WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH
MVFR CONDITIONS LATER TONIGHT. MOUNTAINS WILL BE OBSCURED THROUGHOUT
THE NIGHT. RAIN CHANGES TO SHOWERS FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY MORNING
WITH MVFR CIGS GRADUALLY BECOMING VFR. -WRIGHT

&&

.MARINE...WEST SWELLS OF 8-10 FEET WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE STEEP
SEAS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE
ONSHORE TONIGHT AND THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE WATERS
TUESDAY, THUS WINDS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO SOUTH AND START TO INCREASE LATER TUESDAY AS A
STRONGER FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES. SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TO
NEAR GALE FORCE WEDNESDAY AS A COLD FRONT GOES THROUGH. WINDS
DECREASE BRIEFLY LATER WEDNESDAY BUT THEN PICK UP AGAIN WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS A STRONG WARM FRONT MOVES THROUGH. WINDS WILL
LIKELY BE ACCOMPANIED BY VERY STEEP SEAS AS WIND WAVES AND CONTINUED
WEST SWELL BUILD INTO HIGH, CHOPPY SEAS. CONFIDENCE IN THIS SOLUTION
IS MODERATE AND SO A GALE WATCH AND HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCH HAVE BEEN
ISSUED TO COVER THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. ANOTHER FRONT MAY BRING STRONG
WINDS AND STEEP SEAS TO THE REGION NEXT WEEKEND AS WELL. -WRIGHT

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 258 PM PDT MON APR 21 2014/

SHORT TERM...A SERIES OF FRONTS AND UPPER TROUGHS WILL BRING
COOLER AND UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE AREA THIS WEEK.

THE FIRST OF THESE IS AN OCCLUDED FRONT JUST OFF THE COAST. THIS
FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING THROUGH
TONIGHT...BRINGING MODERATE PRECIPITATION AND LOWERING SNOW
LEVELS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING WITH STRONGEST WINDS IN THE
SHASTA VALLEY AND FROM THE CASCADES EAST.

BEHIND THE FRONT, SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER DOWN TO 3500
TO 4500 FEET LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. AS AN UPPER TROUGH
MOVES OVER THE REGION ON TUESDAY...EXPECT A COLD AND MOIST AIRMASS
WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS. MODELS HAVE TRENDED LOWER WITH LIFTED
INDICES BUT THEY CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME WEAK INSTABILITY ALONG THE
COAST AND OVER THE COASTAL WATER NORTH OF CAPE BLANCO AS WELL AS EAST
OF THE CASCADES ON TUESDAY. GIVEN THE COLD AIR ALOFT AS WELL AS
THE WEAK INSTABILITY, HAVE KEPT MENTION OF A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR THESE AREAS. OTHERWISE, ON
TUESDAY EXPECT THE MAIN IMPACT TO BE SNOW SHOWERS IN THE
MOUNTAINS. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES ARE FORECAST OVER
THE SOUTHERN OREGON CASCADE PASSES ABOVE 4000 FEET ON TUESDAY.
ALSO TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COOLER ACROSS THE AREA  ON TUESDAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S FOR VALLEYS EAST OF THE CASCADES AND IN THE
50S FOR WEST SIDE VALLEYS.

ANOTHER WEAK FRONT BRINGS ADDITIONAL LIGHT PRECIPITATION TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION ARE
FROM THE CASCADES WEST IN OREGON DURING THIS PERIOD.

THEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY, A STRONG AND MOIST FRONTAL SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE AREA. INITIALLY,  A WARM FRONT WILL SPREAD INLAND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY. WITH THE
WARM FRONT, EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO RISE TO NEAR 6000 FEET WEDNESDAY
EVENING AND NIGHT AS LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION SPREADS
ACROSS THE AREA. THEN ON THURSDAY, MODELS INDICATE THAT THE COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE INLAND DURING THE DAY WITH MODERATE PRECIPITATION
SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. HAVE INCREASED THE CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT GIVEN THE HIGH MOISTURE
CONTENT WITH THIS STORM. MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS
RAIN AS SNOW LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN HIGH
THURSDAY...LOWERING TO 4000 TO 5000 FT LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.

GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE FRONTS ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST...OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...AND
OVER THE MOUNTAINS. /CC

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

DURING FRIDAY MORNING, THE 12Z GFS SOLUTION IS SLIGHTLY WETTER THAN
THE 12Z ECMWF MODEL WITH THE QPF FROM A SURFACE TROUGH AND ALSO
COLDER/DEEPER WITH A BROAD UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OFFSHORE. BUT,
BOTH MODELS AGREE ON A COOL, WET DAY IN THE REGION WITH THE AXIS OF
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING TO THE COAST BY THE END OF THE
AFTERNOON. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL
TRACK INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS.
THE UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO BE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH DIMINISHING SHOWERS AND SOME BREAKS IN THE MID AND UPPER
LEVEL CLOUD COVER BUT ALSO VALLEY LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING/THICKENING.
WITH THE UPPER TROUGH IN PLACE AND A COLD NORTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL
FLOW, SATURDAY MORNING IS ON TRACK TO RIVAL WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE
COLDEST OF THE WEEK.

THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO DIVERGE BUT STILL QUALIFY AS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT ON SATURDAY. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL GIVEN
THE COMPLEXITY OF THE PATTERN. BOTH MODELS INDICATE WEAK SHORTWAVE
RIDGING BETWEEN SYSTEMS WITH LIGHT OVERRUNNING SHOWERS
POSSIBLE...MAINLY NEAR THE COAST AND IN THE UMPQUA VALLEY IN THE
AFTERNOON.

BY SATURDAY EVENING, THERE IS AGREEMENT THAT THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH
WILL BE HEADED TO VANCOUVER ISLAND WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING EAST
INTO THE REGION. THE GFS HAS TRENDED WEAKER WITH THIS FRONT, WHILE
THE ECMWF MAINTAINS A STRONGER/COLDER/WETTER SOLUTION. I HAVE LEANED
TOWARD THE ECMWF BUT GONE WITH A BLENDED SOLUTION WITH THE HIGHEST
POPS FOR WESTERN OREGON.

ON SUNDAY, HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED FAR OFFSHORE FROM CALIFORNIA WILL
BEGIN TO BUILD. THE GFS IS FASTER AND STRONGER WITH THE RIDGING.
ONCE AGAIN, I MAINTAINED A MORE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED AND
PERSISTENT FORECAST LEANING TOWARD THE ECMWF. THE EC SOLUTION IS
COOLER AND MAINTAINS THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE ATMOSPHERE AT OR NEAR
SATURATION WITH WESTERLY FLOW AND WEST SIDE OF THE CASCADE FOCUSED
SHOWERS...DIMINISHING SUNDAY NIGHT.

POPS WERE LOWERED AND TEMPERATURES RAISED FOR MONDAY/DAY 7 WITH AN
EXPECTATION THAT THE RIDGE WILL BUILD NORTH INTO THE REGION. A
PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER WITH WARM AFTERNOONS MAY PERSIST DURING DAY 8
THROUGH 10...INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. /DW
