AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
301 PM PST THU DEC 4 2014

.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS
ARE CURRENTLY DRIFTING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA, MOSTLY WEST OF
THE CASCADES IN OREGON AND OVER SOUTHERN SISKIYOU COUNTY, WHERE
UPSLOPING IS STRONGEST. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN LIGHT, AND
SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE THROUGH THIS EVENING. SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT, BUT THE BREAK IN PRECIPITATION WILL BE BRIEF,
AS A SHARP TROUGH WILL ENTER THE AREA TOMORROW, BRINGING
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS THOUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

MODEL SOLUTIONS HAVE ALTERED THE TIMING OF THIS TROUGH SLIGHTLY,
SLOWING ITS ENTRY INTO THE REGION, AND SPEEDING ITS PASSAGE THROUGH.
HOWEVER, THEY HAVE ALSO STRENGTHENED THE WINDS AND MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FEATURE. HAVE THEREFORE STRENGTHENED THE WIND
FORECAST IN SEVERAL PLACES. AT THE COAST, WHERE 850MB FORECAST WINDS
WITHIN BOTH THE NAM AND GFS REACH 50 KT, WINDS WILL BE GUSTY,
ESPECIALLY ACROSS HEADLANDS AND CAPES, BUT DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO
REACH WARNING CRITERIA. IN THE SHASTA VALLEY, PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND
700 MB WIND FORECASTS SUGGEST SURFACE WINDS OF UP TO 40 MPH NEAR
WEED, AND THIS IS WELL WITHIN WIND ADVISORY VALUES. THE SAME 700 MB
WIND PROFILES SUGGEST THE SAME IN THE SUMMER LAKE AREA, SO HAVE
ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THOSE AREAS, MOSTLY DUE TO TRAFFIC
CONCERNS.

PRECIPITATION WISE, THE MORE STEADY AND HEAVIER RAINFALL NOW ENTERS
THE COAST 6 TO 12 HOURS LATER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, BEGINNING
TOMORROW AFTERNOON, THEN SPREADING INLAND TO THE REST OF THE
FORECAST AREA BY LATE EVENING. AS IS USUAL IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS,
PRECIPITATION WILL BE A BIT SLOWER TO MOVE INTO THE ROGUE AND SHASTA
VALLEYS DUE TO LOCALIZED EFFECTS, BUT ALL AREAS SHOULD RECEIVE A
FAIR AMOUNT OF RAIN BY THE END OF THE EVENT SATURDAY MORNING. THE
HEAVIEST RAIN IS EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST, IN THE SISKIYOUS, AND THE
WESTERN HALF OF SISKIYOU COUNTY, WHERE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN IS
POSSIBLE BY SATURDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN ABOVE 6000
FEET FOR THE MOST PART, ALTHOUGH FOR A BRIEF PERIOD SATURDAY, LEVELS
COULD DROP TO NEAR 5000 FEET IN THE VICINITY AND NORTH OF CRATER
LAKE, AND AS SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING, SOME OF THE
HIGHER CASCADE PASSES AND THE PEAKS WILL LIKELY RECEIVE SOME LIGHT
SNOW WITH ONLY VERY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE AREA THEN STAYS MOSTLY DRY UNDER WEAK RIDGING UNTIL THE NEXT
FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES SUNDAY. JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS EVENT, THIS
TROUGH APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER TYPICAL WET SEASON SYSTEM, ALTHOUGH THE
UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS ARE SLIGHTLY WEAKER, AND THEREFORE NO MAJOR
WIND EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. PRECIPITATION WILL THEN
CONTINUE INTO THE LONG TERM.

TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM WILL CONTINUE TO HOVER ABOUT
5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS. -BPN

.LONG TERM...MON, DEC 8TH THROUGH THU NIGHT, DEC 11TH... THREE STORM
SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD AS THE ENTRANCE REGION OF A STRONG JET STREAM ACROSS THE
PACIFIC WAVES ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THEN ONTO THE WEST
COAST. THIS ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN AND THE RELATED TRANSITION
EARLIER NEXT WEEK ARE ASSOCIATED, IN PART, WITH A COHERENT MADDEN
JULIAN OSCILLATION CURRENTLY TRANSITIONING FROM THE MARITIME
CONTINENT INTO THE WESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN. IN SUMMARY, WE EXPECT A
VIGOROUS AND MILD SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK TO
TRANSITION TO A SLIGHTLY COOLER WESTERLY FLOW BY THE END OF THE
WEEK.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 8TH, A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BE FINISHING GOING
THROUGH THE AREA WHILE WARM FRONTAL OVERRUNNING OCCURS ALONG AND
NEAR THE COAST. UNLIKE YESTERDAY. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING MODELS SHOW A WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
RESULTING IN SOME PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE WEST SIDE. TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY MODELS INDICATE THAT SOME PORTIONS OF THE AREA WILL
PROBABLY REACH OR EXCEDE 60F FOR HIGHS WITH GUSTY SOUTHEAST THROUGH
SOUTHWEST WINDS.

ADDITIONALLY, BETWEEN ON OR ABOUT THE 9TH AND 10TH, IT APPEARS WEST
LONG PERIOD WEST SWELL MAY REACH 14-18 FEET AT 15 SECONDS. WITH
STRONG SOUTH WINDS THAT WILL REACH GALES AND, POSSIBLY, STORM FORCE
MID-LATE WEEK COMBINED SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 20 FEET. THIS
WILL RESULT IN CONCERNS FOR THE PORT ORFORD DOCKS AS WELL AS FOR
CRAB POTS.

THE STORM SYSTEM DUE IN WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT HAS A
MODERATE POTENTIAL TO BE STRONG AND IMPACTING, SUCH THAT WIND
WATCHES AND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED WITH IT ALONG AND NEAR
THE COAST, IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND ACROSS THE VALLEYS. 5KFT FREE AIR
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 70-100KT ALONG AND NEAR THE COAST ON
SOME GUIDANCE, AND THAT SAME GUIDANCE INDICATES SUSTAINED WINDS IN
THE 40-70 MPH WITH GUSTS 60-100+ MPH ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS AND
IN OUR USUALLY WINDY LOCATIONS. THIS STORM IS STILL ALONG WAY AWAY
FROM US, SO WE HAVE TIME TO WATCH HOW THIS POTENTIALLY HIGH
IMPACTING EVENT EVOLVES.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY SNOW LEVELS FINALLY COME DOWN TO 5000-6000
FEET, SO WE SHOULD START TO GET AT LEAST SOME SNOW AGAIN IN THE
MOUNTAINS WHERE WE USUALLY EXPECT IN IT DECEMBER. -BTL

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 04/18Z TAF CYCLE...
IFR TO MVFR CLOUDS AND VISIBILITIES WITH SHOWERS AND NEAR TOTAL
TERRAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND NEAR THE COASTAL
