AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
902 PM PDT TUE OCT 14 2014

.DISCUSSION...THE COLD FRONT HAS MOVED INLAND AND EXTENDS FROM
CENTRAL LAKE/KLAMATH COUNTIES SOUTHWESTWARD INTO CENTRAL SISKIYOU
COUNTY. THE FRONT HAS STALLED AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES
TO BRING MOISTURE TO THE AREA. SO FAR 2-3 INCHES HAVE FALLEN IN
CURRY COUNTY AND 1-2 INCHES IN COOS COUNTY. THE MEDFORD AIRPORT
HAS PICKED UP 0.10". CONTINUING ONSHORE FLOW WILL RESULT IN LIGHT
RAIN OVERNIGHT. SHORT TERM MODELS DO NOT SPREAD RAIN INTO THE
GOOSE LAKE BASIN UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT.

IT APPEARS THAT A VERY SMALL SCALE LOW PRESSURE HAD FORMED JUST
WEST OF BUOY15 JUDGING ON THE PRESSURE FIELD. NONE OF THE
MESOSCALE MODEL PICKED UP ON THIS FEATURE. WE HAVE UPDATED MARINE
WINDS AND INCREASED WINDS IN THE CORRIDOR BETWEEN 5 AND 15 NM OF
SHORE TO GALE. THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH OVERNIGHT
AND SHOULD BE NORTH OF FLORENCE OREGON AFTER MIDNIGHT. /FB

&&

.AVIATION...15/00Z TAF CYCLE...A COLD FRONT IS PASSING THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA...BRINGING WINDY CONDITIONS TO HIGH TERRAIN AND AREAS
EAST OF THE CASCADES...RAIN SHOWERS...AND A MIX OF VFR...MVFR...AND
IFR CEILINGS. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL MAINTAIN AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR
TURBULENCE IN THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. WIDESPREAD
MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION IS EXPECTED THROUGH TOMORROW...WITH WORST
CONDITIONS ON SOUTH FACING SLOPES THIS EVENING AND WEST FACING
SLOPES TOMORROW.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST
THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. ADDITIONALLY...FREEZING LEVELS WILL
LOWER BY AS MUCH AS 3000 FEET FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. MOST TERMINALS WILL BECOME VFR BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BUT
THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND KEEP THE
HIGHEST TERRAIN OBSCURED. SK

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 6 PM PDT TUE 15 OCT 2014...SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS
WILL AFFECT MOST OF THE WATERS TONIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AS
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS REMAIN GUSTY AND SEAS REMAIN AN ELEVATED
CHAOTIC MIX OF WEST SWELL AND SOUTH WIND WAVES. TONIGHT THERE WILL
BE A PERIOD OF VERY STEEP WAVES AND FREQUENT GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS
AS SOUTH WINDS PEAK NEAR 30 KT WITH GUSTS TO 40 KT BETWEEN 8 AND 30
NM FROM THE COAST...COMBINED WITH WEST SWELL AROUND 10 FEET AT 12
SECONDS. MODERATE WINDS AND STEEP SEAS ARE EXPECTED ON
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM BRINGS THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER WINDS AND
SEAS LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOUTHERLY
GALES AND VERY STEEP SEAS WITH THIS FRONT...AND MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT. WE'LL BE CONSIDERING GALE AND HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCHES IN
SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS TO HIGHLIGHT THESE HAZARDS. SK

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 101 PM PDT TUE OCT 14 2014/

DISCUSSION...14/12Z NAM/GFS IN.

A COLD FRONT IS NOW MOVING ONSHORE...AND IT IS SLOWING DOWN A BIT
DUE TO SHORT WAVES MOVING UP THE FRONT. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION
SO FAR HAS FALLEN ON THE COAST AND COAST RANGE. RED MOUND HAS THE
MOST PRECIPITATION SO FAR WITH 2.13 INCHES. WINDS CONTINUE TO PICK
UP OVER THE EAST SIDE WITH SEVERAL STATIONS REPORTING GUSTS TO
AROUND 40 MPH. WEED AIRPORT JUST REPORTED A GUST TO 46 MPH..

A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IS IN PLACE AND WILL REMAIN SO FOR THE NEXT
WEEK. LONG WAVE TROUGHS WILL MOVE ONSHORE ABOUT EVERY FOUR DAYS OR
SO.

THE FIRST TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE ONSHORE LATE TONIGHT. THE
ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE MEDFORD CWA TODAY...
BRINGING WIDESPREAD RAIN FROM THE CASCADES WEST AND SPOTTIER
COVERAGE OVER THE EAST SIDE. IT WILL ALSO MAKE FOR A WINDY DAY
EAST OF THE CASCADES AND IN THE SHASTA VALLEY. HIGH WIND WARNINGS
ARE IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF THE EAST SIDE WITH WIND ADVISORIES OVER
MOST OF THE REMAINDER OF THE EAST SIDE AND THE SHASTA VALLEY.

SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TO AROUND 5500 TO 6000 FEET WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW EXPECTED IN THE CASCADES,
THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS AND IN THE COASTAL ZONES THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH AFTER THE FRONT PASSES BUT POST-FRONTAL
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WILL PERSIST UNTIL THE TROUGH KICKS OUT TO THE
EAST WEDNESDAY...THEN SLOWLY DIMINISH THEREAFTER.

AFTER A RELATIVE BREAK IN THE ACTION THURSDAY...THE NEXT INCOMING
TROUGH WILL PUSH A FRONT ONSHORE FRIDAY. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF RAIN AND WIND TO THE AREA...BUT NOT AS MUCH AS TODAY'S
SYSTEM. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE THROUGH SATURDAY AS WEAK RIDGING
DEVELOPS OVER THE AREA...THEN YET ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. STILL MORE SYSTEMS WILL FOLLOW. FALL HAS
ARRIVED!

AVIATION...14/18Z TAF CYCLE...A COLD FRONT IS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS
THE AREA TODAY, BUT IT WILL BE SLOW TO PASS. RAIN AND MVFR/IFR CIGS
ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE WEST SIDE, ESPECIALLY THE COAST, WITH LOWER
FLIGHT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. FOR THE EAST SIDE,
EXPECT MOSTLY VFR WITH OCCASIONAL MVFR WITHIN SHOWERS, BUT
PRECIPITATION WILL BE MORE SCATTERED. CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA
WILL BECOME MVFR/IFR OVERNIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING AS POST
FRONTAL SHOWERS CONTINUE. ALSO OF CONCERN, STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE EAST SIDE AND WITHIN THE
SHASTA VALLEY. WINDS WILL DIMINISH ONCE THE FRONT PASSES LATE THIS
EVENING AND TONIGHT.  -BPN

MARINE...UPDATED 830 AM PDT TUE 14 OCT 2014...SOUTH WINDS ARE
DECREASING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THAT HAS MOVED INLAND.

THE MODELS SHOW A STRONGER SYSTEM ARRIVING TONIGHT WITH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WINDS AND SEAS SPREADING OVER PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE
COASTAL WATERS.
