AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
1031 AM PDT THU JUL 31 2014

.UPDATE...
UPDATES WERE MADE TO THE FORECAST, TO INCLUDE THE FIRE WEATHER
PLANNING FORECAST, THIS MORNING TO ADJUST THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL
SLIGHTLY. PRIMARY ADJUSTMENTS WERE TO ADD ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
FOR AREAS ALONG THE UMPQUA DIVIDE EAST OF INTERSTATE FIVE, MAINLY
IN SOUTHEASTERN DOUGLAS COUNTY. ADDITIONALLY, FOR THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING COVERAGE WAS INCREASED TO SCATTERED FOR THE SHASTA
VALLEY AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WERE ADDED TO THE DAY FIRE AREA
IN SOUTHWESTERN MODOC COUNTY AND IN SOUTHEASTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY.
BTL

&&

.DISCUSSION...
A WEAK VORTICITY MAXIMUM IS MOVING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE WEST SIDE
THIS MORNING. ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE OCCURRED IN MAINLY JOSEPHINE
COUNTY WITH THIS FEATURE. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT A FEW
LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE POSSIBLE AS THIS FEATURE MOVES INTO SOUTHERN
AND EASTERN DOUGLAS COUNTY.

NUMEROUS FIRE STARTS, SOME OF WHICH HAVE BECOME FAIRLY LARGE, ARE
CAUSING SMOKE ACROSS THE AREA, SOME OF WHICH IS VISIBLE ON THE
MORNING VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THROUGH THE DAY THUNDERSTORMS
WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP. MODELS APPEAR TO BE STRUGGLING WITH THE
DETAILS MORE TODAY THAN ON OTHER DAYS, WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF
SOLUTIONS EVEN IN THE SHORT TERM. THE CONSENSUS IS ABOUT WHERE OUR
GOING FORECAST LIES. THE EXTREMES ARE MORE EXTENSIVE COVERAGE ON
THE WEST SIDE TO THUNDERSTORMS ONLY FROM THE CASCADES EASTWARD.
GUSTY WINDS, LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN, AND SMALL HAIL WILL OCCUR WITH
SOME CELLS, WITH LIGHTNING REMAINING THE PRIMARY CONCERN. WE
EXPECT THE GREATEST COVERAGE AND RAINFALL TO BE FROM LAKE OF THE
WOODS NORTH AND EASTWARD ALONG AND NEAR THE CASCADE CREST AND
ACROSS NORTHERN LAKE AND KLAMATH COUNTIES.

THIS MORNING'S GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO TREND TOWARD A MUCH QUIETER
DAY TOMORROW, WITH JUST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CASCADES
NORTH OF MT MCLOUGHLIN EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN KLAMATH AND LAKE
COUNTIES. BTL

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 31/12Z TAFS...

ALONG THE COAST...EXPECT AREAS OF LIFR THIS MORNING...INCLUDING NEAR
KOTH THROUGH 19Z...THEN CLEARING TO VFR. THERE ARE SOME MODEL
INDICATIONS THAT PORTIONS OF THE COAST WILL REMAIN CLEAR THIS
MORNING BUT COQUILLE VALLEY FOG AND STRATUS SHOULD EXPAND WESTWARD
TO AFFECT KOTH THIS MORNING. INLAND...VFR WILL PREVAIL. ALL SIGNS
POINT TO ANOTHER ACTIVE AFTERNOON WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY IN AREAS THAT SAW THEM TODAY. STORMS CAN
PRODUCE AREAS OF SEVERE TURBULENCE WITH GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND
HAIL. SK

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 300 AM PDT 31 JULY 2014...

THE CURRENT PATTERN...WITH SOME SLIGHT DAY-TO-DAY VARIATION...WILL
PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. OFFSHORE HIGH PRESSURE AND A THERMAL
TROUGH OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL COMBINE TO MAINTAIN STEEP WIND
WAVE DOMINATED SEAS AND AREAS OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS INTO THE
WEEKEND...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS AND STEEPEST SEAS FROM CAPE
BLANCO SOUTH IN THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. WINDS MAY INCREASE TO
GALES WITH VERY STEEP SEAS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR AREAS SOUTH OF
CAPE BLANCO. CONFIDENCE IS LOW TO MODERATE ON THE GALES AND VERY
STEEP SEAS...AS MODELS CONTINUE TO POSTPONE THE PERIOD OF STRONGEST
WINDS...AND THE GALES LOOK TO BE LOW END IF THEY OCCUR.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 AM PDT THU JUL 31 2014/

DISCUSSION....DISCUSSION...WE RECEIVED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2,000
AND 2,500 LIGHTNING STRIKES OVER OUR FORECAST AREA YESTERDAY AND
LAST NIGHT, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE CONCENTRATED IN THE
SISKIYOUS AND CASCADES. THESE STARTED NUMEROUS FIRES AROUND THE
AREA, AND SOME OF THEM ARE ALREADY SHOWING UP ON 11-3.9 MICRON
SATELLITE THIS MORNING. THE TWO MOST OBVIOUS FIRE SIGNATURES ARE
IN SOUTHWEST SISKIYOU COUNTY WEST OF CALLAHAN AND IN SOUTHWEST
MODOC COUNTY NEAR THE TOWN OF DAY. THE SIGNATURE IN SISKIYOU
COUNTY IS GETTING RAPIDLY LARGER AND DARKER THIS MORNING,
INDICATING A LOT OF HEAT. IN ADDITION TO THE SATELLITE SIGNATURE,
THE FIRE NEAR DAY IS ALSO PRODUCING A PLUME WHICH IS VISIBLE ON
RADAR. THIS IS A LITTLE UNUSUAL AT NIGHT AND IS INDICATIVE OF THE
INSTABILITY STILL PRESENT IN THE AREA. THERE MAY EVEN BE A THIRD
FIRE SOUTHWEST OF MT. ASHLAND ON SATELLITE, BUT THIS ONE IS LESS
CERTAIN. STORMS HAVE QUIETED DOWN FOR THE MOMENT, AND ALL THAT'S
LEFT ARE SOME SPRINKLES OR POSSIBLY JUST VIRGA OVER NORTHERN LAKE
COUNTY.

WE WILL BE UNSTABLE AND MOIST AGAIN TODAY OVER THE SAME AREAS, AND
IN FACT, THE MODELS ACTUALLY SHOW DEEP MOISTURE FURTHER WEST THAN
YESTERDAY, PERHAPS ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST. THERE IS ANOTHER AREA
OF BROAD VORTICITY OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST THAT WILL BE
MOVING THROUGH TODAY, WHICH WILL PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR MORE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, WE SHOULD SEE A
SIMILAR STORM EVOLUTION TODAY IN ROUGHLY THE SAME AREAS. THERE WILL
BE SOME DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE FROM THE SOUTHWEST
LATE TODAY, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY BE TOO LATE TO MAKE MUCH
DIFFERENCE. WE HAVE YET ANOTHER RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT TODAY,
AND THIS LOOKS RIGHT ON TRACK.

DEEPER MOISTURE SHOULD FINALLY SHIFT OFF TO THE EAST ON FRIDAY
TAKING THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREAT AWAY FROM THE WEST SIDE AND
CONFINING IT TO THE CASCADES AND EAST SIDE. ALL OF THIS IS COVERED
REASONABLY WELL IN THE GOING FORECAST, AND THUS ONLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE THIS MORNING.

THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SOME THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
EAST SIDE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS WEAK UPPER TROUGHING
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE WEST SIDE WILL LIKELY REMAIN HOT AND
DRY INLAND FROM THE COAST THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS OUT AND THE FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL MID NEXT
WEEK WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN HOT AND DRY WEATHER FOR ALL OF US,
INCLUDING THE EAST SIDE AND MOUNTAINS. -WRIGHT
