PORT...OR TAKE SHELTER UNTIL WAVES SUBSIDE.  COMMERCIAL VESSELS
SHOULD PREPARE FOR ROUGH SEAS AND CONSIDER REMAINING IN PORT OR
TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL HAZARDOUS SEAS SUBSIDE.

SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR WIND MEANS THAT WIND SPEEDS OF 23 TO
33 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED. INEXPERIENCED MARINERS...ESPECIALLY THOSE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
243 PM PDT THU JUL 24 2014

.DISCUSSION...THE BIG TROUGH THAT BROUGHT US THE COOL, SHOWERY
WEATHER IS NOW WELL OFF INTO THE NORTHERN U.S. AND CANADIAN
ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON LEAVING US WITH DRY ZONAL UPPER FLOW.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING IN OVER THE NE PACIFIC AND
LOWERING PRESSURES INDICATE THAT A THERMAL TROUGH IS ALREADY
STRENGTHENING ALONG THE CALIFORNIA COAST. GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST
WINDS ARE DEVELOPING AS A RESULT OF INCREASING GRADIENTS, AND THIS
IS ESPECIALLY TRUE ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE WATERS. RESIDUAL
MOISTURE IN THE FORM OF CLOUD REMAINS OVER NORTHWEST UMPQUA COUNTY
THIS AFTERNOON, BUT THE REST OF THE AREA IS CLEAR.

A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AND REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST THE END OF NEXT
WEEK. THE BASIC SURFACE PATTERN (COASTAL THERMAL TROUGH) WILL
REMAIN LARGELY UNCHANGED THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS WELL, WHICH MEANS
GUSTY AFTERNOON NORTHWEST WINDS, ESPECIALLY OVER THE COAST AND
WATERS, AND HOT CONDITIONS INLAND. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WARM
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH TEMPERATURES ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL BY SUNDAY. HOT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK AS WELL.

WE WILL BE DRY AND CLEAR FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH SATURDAY, BUT
FROM SUNDAY THROUGH ALL OF NEXT WEEK THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS, SO WE WILL JUST HAVE
TO WATCH FOR SOME TRIGGERING MECHANISM TO PINPOINT THE MOST LIKELY
PERIODS. THERE IS AN UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR 28N 133W RIGHT NOW
AND ALL THE MODELS BRING THIS ENERGY FROM THIS SYSTEM INTO OUR
AREA SUNDAY. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME ASSOCIATED JET SUPPORT ON
SUNDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH OF A TRIGGER TO INITIATE
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CASCADES AND SISKIYOUS EAST. WHILE THE WEST
SIDE WILL BE VERY HOT AND UNSTABLE, MODEL SOUNDINGS DO SHOW A
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CAPPING INVERSION IN THE MID LEVELS, SO STORMS
WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED WEST OF THE CASCADES ON SUNDAY.

AS WE GO THROUGH NEXT WEEK, CONDITIONS GRADUALLY GROW MORE
UNSTABLE AND MOIST AND THUS THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
ALSO INCREASE. THE MODELS ALSO INDICATE SOME SHORTWAVE ACTIVITY,
BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE JET SUPPORT AND NOT A LOT OF MODEL
AGREEMENT AS TO THE PARTICULARS. NEVERTHELESS, IT SHOULD NOTED
THAT IF WE DO GET A GOOD TRIGGER MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK, IT COULD
PRODUCE QUITE A LOT OF CONVECTION. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS
CLOSELY FOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS. -WRIGHT

&&

.AVIATION...SOME STRATUS WITH IFR CIGS MAY RETURN TO THE COAST
AROUND DAWN FRIDAY. OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS. GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED
IN THE AFTERNOONS, STRONGEST AT KOTH. -WRIGHT

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 230 AM PDT 24 JULY 2014...

THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE MARINE FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT. A THERMAL TROUGH WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA TODAY THEN PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND LIKELY INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN MODERATE TO STRONG NORTH WINDS
AND STEEP WIND DRIVEN SEAS WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS IN THE OUTER WATERS SOUTH OF CAPE
BLANCO. THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES INLAND SUNDAY WITH THE THERMAL TROUGH
WEAKENING...RESULTING IN DECREASED WINDS AND WIND WAVES INTO THE
EARLY PORTION OF NEXT WEEK. THE MAIN UNCERTAINTY WITH THE FORECAST IS
THE EXTENT OF THIS WEAKENING. A MODEL BLEND OF THE DGEX AND THE
STRONGER 00Z GFS WAS UTILIZED. /DW

.FIRE WEATHER...THE FIRE WEATHER AREAS OF CONCERN HAVE
TRANSITIONED FROM THUNDERSTORMS TO WINDS AND HUMIDITY...AND THEN
WILL TRANSITION BACK TO THUNDERSTORMS BY SUNDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AT
LEAST.

A THERMAL TROUGH HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST AND
WILL BE GENERATING GUSTY NORTH WINDS WEST OF THE
CASCADES...ESPECIALLY IN NORTH TO SOUTH ORIENTED VALLEYS...THE NEXT
FEW AFTERNOONS. ADDITIONALLY...NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BE GUSTY OVER
THE RIDGES OF THE COAST RANGE IN CURRY COUNTY AND OVER WESTERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY HIGH TERRAIN. RECOVERIES WILL GRADUALLY TREND FROM
GOOD TO MODERATE TO POTENTIALLY POOR IN THESE AREAS OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL NIGHTS. EXPECTED GUSTY WINDS IN THE ILLINOIS AND APPLEGATE
VALLEYS...IN ADDITION TO LOWERING HUMIDITIES...WARRANTED A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH AT RFWMFR FROM 1PM-8PM TOMORROW. WE ARE CONFIDENT
WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR RED FLAG CRITERIA BUT HUMIDITIES ARE
MORE TRICKY TO PIN DOWN GIVEN RECENT RAINS AND MODEL TENDENCIES TO
FORECAST DEWPOINTS TOO HIGH AND TEMPERATURES TOO LOW IN THESE
MODERATE-STRONG THERMAL TROUGH PATTERNS. HUMIDITIES LOOK TO BE A BIT
TOO HIGH FOR A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE ROGUE VALLEY...BUT THE
OVERNIGHT SHIFT WILL TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT OCCURS TODAY AND USE THE
LATEST GUIDANCE FOR THEIR DECISIONS.

WINDS REMAIN GUSTY WEST OF THE CASCADES AND RELATIVELY LIGHT EAST OF
THE CASCADES THROUGH SATURDAY. THEN...ON SUNDAY MODELS DEPICT IN
REMARKABLE AGREEMENT A POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THIS...IN COMBINATION WITH HOT SURFACE
TEMPERATURES...COULD GENERATE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
AND FROM THE CASCADES EASTWARD. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM WILL
LEAN TOWARDS THE DRY END OF THE SPECTRUM...GIVEN LIMITED MOISTURE IN
THE ATMOSPHERE. THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT CONTINUES INTO AT LEAST THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
CONTINUES WEST OF A NEARLY STATIONARY RIDGE OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST. NSK
