AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
254 PM PDT SAT OCT 18 2014

.DISCUSSION...CLOUDS ARE DECREASING THIS AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS OVER THE AREA. SKIES WILL REMAIN CLEAR FOR MOST LOCATIONS
TONIGHT. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE ALONG THE COAST WHERE LOW CLOUDS WILL
DEVELOP WITH THE MARINE LAYER DEPENDING ENOUGH TO SQUEEZE OUT PATCHY
DRIZZLE. ALSO THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE MARINE STRATUS WILL DEVELOP IN
THE UMPQUA BASIN AND POSSIBLY THE ILLINOIS VALLEY AND NEAR GRANTS
PASS.

SUNDAY WILL BE ANOTHER NICE DAY FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH
MILD TEMPERATURES. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE NEXT FRONT, THE
COAST COULD START TO SEE RAIN FALLING TOWARDS THE END OF THE DAY.
RIGHT NOW, THE 12Z NAM AND GFS ARE IN SIMILAR AGREEMENT AND ARE
SLOWER WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT. MEANWHILE THE GEM AND EC ARE
ABOUT 6 HOURS FASTER. GIVEN THAT THE UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DIG
AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE OREGON COAST, THIS SHOULD SLOW DOWN THE
EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT. THEREFORE HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE
SLOWER GFS/NAM SOLUTION FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. BECAUSE OF
THIS, MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE ALONG THE SOUTH
COAST AND COASTAL MOUNTAINS WITH MOST AREAS PICKING UP BETWEEN
0.25-0.50 OF AN INCH. MEANWHILE THE ROGUE AND POSSIBLY UMPQUA BASIN
MAY NOT GET ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE
AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH, PARTICULARLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN EAST
OF THE CASCADES. MODELS SHOW 700 MB WINDS INCREASING BETWEEN 35-40
KTS AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH. ALSO SOME OF THESE STRONGER WINDS
COULD MIX SOWN IN THE SHASTA VALLEY AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF WE
SEE WINDS PEAK WIND GUST BETWEEN 35-40 MPH IN THE SOUTH END OF THE
SHASTA VALLEY.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE INLAND MONDAY MORNING WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY
PRECIPITATION LIKELY SOUTH OF CAPE BLANCO AND SOUTH COASTAL
MOUNTAINS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THESE AREAS WILL RANGE BETWEEN 1-2
INCHES. PRECIPITATION WILL ALSO SPREAD OVER MUCH OF THE WESTSIDE
WITH 0.10-0.20 OF AN INCH EXPECTED IN THE ROGUE VALLEY. BEHIND WITH
FRONT A COOL POOL ALOFT WILL MOVE OVERHEAD, BUT GOING WITH THE
SLOWER TIMING OF THE FRONT IT WON'T BE UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY, SO
HAVE REMOVED THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER MONDAY MORNING, BUT LEFT
IT IN MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EVEN THEN THE MODELS HAVE BACK
OFF SOME OF THE AMOUNT OF COOLING WITH 500 MB TEMPERATURES BETWEEN
-20 AND -22C. GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOST OF MONDAY,
ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE CASCADES. MODELS STILL SHOW 700 MB WINDS
PEAKING OUT BETWEEN 40-45 KTS LATE MONDAY MORNING, THEN GRADUALLY
DECREASING MONDAY EVENING AS THE UPPER TOUGH AXIS AND SURFACE FRONT
MOVES EAST OF THE CASCADES.

WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE AREA TUESDAY AND WE COULD
CATCH A RELATIVE BREAK IN THE WEATHER. A FEW SHOWERS COULD LINGER
IN THE MORNING WITH MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS IN THE AFTERNOON. THE GFS
AND GEM SHOW ANOTHER FRONT KNOCKING ON THE DOORSTEP TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WHILE THE NAM AND EC ARE SLOWER WITH THE
PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT. FOR NOW, HAVE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE WITH A
SLIGHT EMPHASIS TOWARDS THE FARTHER NORTH AND SLOWER EC/NAM
SOLUTION. -PETRUCELLI

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
WITH SUPPORT FROM THE GEFS AND ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEANS, A MODEL BLEND
WAS MAINTAINED WITH A SLIGHT BIAS TOWARD THE 12Z ECMWF SOLUTION. THE
ECMWF IS SLOWER THAN THE 12Z GFS AND INDICATES STRONGER UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING OVER CALIFORNIA INTO NEVADA. THE MODEL DIFFERENCES ARE STARK
AS THE GFS DEPICTS A COLD AND WET WEDNESDAY WITH DEEP AND COPIOUS
MOISTURE AIMED AT THE OREGON AND FAR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST
THROUGH THURSDAY. MEANTIME, THE ECMWF SHOWS A WEAKER FRONTAL SYSTEM
AIMED AT WASHINGTON AND THE NORTHERN OREGON COAST WITH A PERIOD OF
MODERATE RAIN ONLY EXTENDING INTO THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF OUR AREA.
WITH THE LACK OF RAIN, STRONGER RIDGING, AND REDUCED CLOUD COVER,
THE ECMWF SOLUTION IS MUCH WARMER AND WITH A LOWER PROBABILITY OF
PRECIPITATION THAN THE GFS. THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY OF RAINFALL IN
OUR AREA IS NEAR NORTH BEND AND THE LOWEST IS IN MODOC COUNTY.

BEYOND THURSDAY, BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE THAT THE RIDGE WILL
BUILD OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND ROCKY MOUNTAINS WITH THE FLOW
ALOFT BECOMING MORE AMPLIFIED. THIS WILL CAUSE THE JET STREAM TO
RETROGRADE AND BECOME MORE SOUTH-TO-NORTH ORIENTED. AS A RESULT, THE
PROBABILITY OF RAIN WAS DECREASED FOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE
EAST SIDE. BUT, THE ECMWF SOLUTION IS STILL STRONGER WITH THE
RIDGING THAN THE GFS. THE EC SUPPORTS DRYING AND WARMING OVER OUR
AREA WITH THE STORM TRACK ALONG 130W. MEANWHILE THE GFS SOLUTION
