AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
905 AM PST THU DEC 11 2014

.DISCUSSION...
LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY 140 MILES WEST OF CAPE BLANCO HAS A
CONFIRMED CENTRAL PRESSURE BELOW 980 MB PER A 15Z SHIP REPORT 60
MILES WEST OF BROOKINGS. THIS STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM,
ESPECIALLY FOR IT'S LOCATION AND PROXIMITY TO THE COAST, IS LIKELY
AT OR NEAR IT'S LOWEST CENTRAL PRESSURE, NEAR 975MB. THE LOW WILL
CONTINUE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, WITH STRONG
WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND COASTAL WATERS LIKELY BEGINNING TO
DIMINISH SOUTH OF CAPE BLANCO AFTER 21Z AND NORTH OF CAPE BLANCO
AFTER 00Z.

INLAND, PRESSURE GRADIENTS HAVE LIKELY REACHED THEIR PEAK ON THE
WEST SIDE, BUT MAXIMUM WINDS ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO PEAK BETWEEN
18Z AND 21Z ACROSS THE AREA, LAST FURTHEST EAST ACROSS MODOC AND
LAKE COUNTIES. PEAK WINDS IN THE ROGUE AND SHASTA VALLEYS, THUS
FAR, THIS MORNING, HAVE BEEN IN THE 50 TO 70 MPH RANGE WITH
NUMEROUS POWER OUTAGES REPORTED IN THE ASHLAND, MEDFORD, GRANTS
PASS, AND ROSEBURG AREAS. IN THE MOUNTAINS SQUAW PEAK REPORTED A
GUST TO 117 MPH EARLIER THIS MORNING.

AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION GOES, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME IMPRESSIVE
TOTALS, THUS FAR. MOUNT SHASTA CITY HAS RECEIVED 4 TO 5 INCHES OF
RAIN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. UP ON THE VOLCANO, AT THE AVALANCHE
CENTER'S OLD SKI BOWL SENSOR, 17.5 INCHES OF NEW SNOW HAS FALLEN.
SNOW LEVELS MEANDERED BETWEEN ABOUT 6000 AND 7000 FEET OVER THE
LAST 12 HOURS, WITH MOUNT ASHLAND REPORTING 3-5 INCHES THIS
MORNING.

IN SHORT, ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS THE STRONG LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE BY.
EXPECT CONDITIONS TO SETTLE DOWN OVERNIGHT. NO UPDATES NEEDED, THUS
FAR, THIS MORNING. WE'LL BE MAKING UPDATES THROUGH DAY AS
THE SITUATION WARRANTS. BTL

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 11/12Z TAF CYCLE...WINDS ARE ON THE
INCREASE AGAIN AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVES NEAR THE COAST. MODERATE
TO STRONG WINDS ARE GOING TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR ALL TERMINALS
THURSDAY, WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SPEED SHEAR PROBLEMATIC WEST OF THE
CASCADES. IT WILL BE A CLOSE CALL FOR WIND SPEED SHEAR AT KLAMATH
FALLS, BUT ONLY BECAUSE SURFACE WIND SPEEDS THERE WILL BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO NEGATE MEETING CRITERIA. VFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED, BUT LOCAL
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER RAIN. TERRAIN OBSCURATION IS
EXPECTED IN ALL AREAS.  WINDS WILL DECREASE THIS EVENING, BUT RAIN
CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE TAF PERIOD. -BPN/PETRUCELLI

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 200 AM PST THU DEC 11 2014...WINDS WILL INCREASE
THROUGH THIS MORNING AS A SURFACE LOW DEEPENS OFFSHORE, THEN MOVES
NORTH THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT ANOTHER
ROUND OF STORM FORCE WINDS, WITH HURRICANE FORCE GUSTS
POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE VICINITY OF CAPE BLANCO.

MEANWHILE...HEAVY LONG PERIOD WEST SWELL WILL COMBINE WITH STRONG
SOUTHERLY CHOP TO PRODUCE VERY STEEP AND HAZARDOUS SEAS THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. COMBINED SEAS WILL BUILD TO HEIGHTS IN EXCESS OF 25 FEET,
WITH BREAKING WAVES OF OVER 30 FEET EXPECTED NEAR SHORE,
SHOALS, AND OTHER SHALLOW WATER AREAS.

THIS WILL BE A VERY STRONG STORM. ALL MARITIME AND COASTAL INTERESTS
SHOULD TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS NECESSARY TO PRESERVE LIFE AND
PROPERTY...AS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE TO UNSECURED AND
EXPOSED EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
THAT ALL VESSELS REMAIN IN SAFE HARBOR UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE THIS
EVENING.

BEYOND THURSDAY...WINDS WILL DIMINISH...BUT UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THROUGH
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, REMAINING ABOVE SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH
AT LEAST SATURDAY.  EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY
SEAS AS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM ENTERS THE COASTAL WATERS THIS
WEEKEND. THERE IS ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY LONG PERIOD SWELL TO
RETURN TO THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. -BPN

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 408 AM PST THU DEC 11 2014/

SHORT TERM...A STRONG LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED ABOUT 250 MILES
OFF THE OREGON CALIFORNIA COAST BORDER. THIS LOW PRESSURE IS
FORECAST TO APPROACH THE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST THIS MORNING AND
MOVE NORTH ALONG THE OREGON COAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS LOW
IS FORECAST TO BE AROUND 975 TO 980 MB AS IT NEARS THE SOUTHERN
OREGON COAST TODAY. IT WILL BRING A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
AS WELL AS STRONG LOW AND MID LEVEL JETS INTO THE AREA...RESULTING
IN VERY STRONG GUSTY WINDS DEVELOPING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA THIS
MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON.

WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO INCREASE EARLY THIS MORNING WITH GUSTY SOUTH
TO SOUTHEAST WINDS DEVELOPING ALONG THE COAST, OVER THE MOUNTAINS
AND INLAND INTO SOME VALLEY LOCATIONS, INCLUDING THE SHASTA AND
ROGUE VALLEYS. OBSERVATIONS ALSO SHOW GALE FORCE WINDS DEVELOPING
IN THE SOUTHERN COASTAL WATERS EARLY THIS MORNING. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO RISE TO STORM FORCE IN THE COASTAL WATERS WITH AREAS
OF HIGH WINDS EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST AND INLAND.

CURRENT MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND TRACK OF
THE LOW AND SHOW THIS LOW APPROACHING WITHIN 100 NM OF THE COAST,
CENTERED OFF CAPE BLANCO BY LATE THIS MORNING. THEN SHIFTING
NORTH DURING THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE CENTRAL OREGON COAST. THE
NAM REMAINS SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN THE OTHER MODELS WITH THE TRACK
OF THIS LOW AND HAVE LEANED TOWARDS A COMBINATION OF THE GFS AND
ECMWF AS WELL THE HIGH RESOLUTION NMW AND RAP MODELS. THESE
MODELS BRING A SOUTH 70 TO 80 KT 925 MB JET ALONG THE COAST WITH
THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGH WINDS TO DEVELOP IN
COASTAL AREAS, INITIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST EARLY THIS
MORNING, THEN SPREADING ALONG THE ENTIRE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST IN
THE MID TO LATE MORNING AND CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. PEAK
WINDS ALONG THE COAST ARE EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 40 TO 55 MPH WITH
FREQUENT GUSTS OF 60 TO 70 MPH AND OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 80 MPH OR
POSSIBLY HIGHER. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH IN THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON ALONG THE COAST.

INLAND AREAS WILL ALSO SEE STRONG GUSTY WINDS THIS MORNING INTO
THIS AFTERNOON AS A MID LEVEL JET OF AROUND 80 KT MOVES OVER THIS
AREA THIS MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. STRONGEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED IN THE SHASTA VALLEY, SOUTHERN ROGUE VALLEY, OVER THE
CASCADES AND SISKIYOUS, AND EAST OF THE CASCADES. THESE AREAS ARE
EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE VERY STRONG, AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING,
WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 60 TO 70 MPH AND LOCALLY HIGHER. ALTHOUGH
THESE AREAS WILL SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS AND GREATEST IMPACTS,
EXPECT MOST THE AREA TO SEE VERY GUSTY WINDS TODAY. WIND WARNINGS
AND WIND ADVISORIES ARE IN PLACE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
MOST THE AREA.

IN ADDITION TO STRONG GUSTY WINDS, MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA WITH THIS LOW PASSAGE. THIS MAY BRING THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING IMPACTS TO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL AREAS AND A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE WILDFIRE BURN SCARS IN
WESTERN SISKIYOU. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED THIS
MORNING ALONG THE COAST, ESPECIALLY IN CURRY COUNTY. THIS RAIN
COMBINED WITH RAINFALL FROM YESTERDAYS STORM, MAY ALLOW FOR SMALL
STREAM OR LOCALIZED URBAN FLOODING ALONG THE COAST. IN WESTERN
SISKIYOU COUNTY, MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO EXPECTED THIS
MORNING AND MAY BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING IN THE
WILDFIRE BURN SCAR AREAS.

THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH OVER THE
AREA AS THE LOW SHIFTS NORTH. AN UPPER TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO THE
AREA FROM THE WEST THIS EVENING INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL BRING A
COOL AND SHOWERY AIR MASS TO THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY.

SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER FROM 7000 FEET THIS MORNING TO
AROUND 6000 FT THIS AFTERNOON AS COLD AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA
BEHIND THE LOW. THEN AS AN UPPER TROUGH PUSHES INLAND TONIGHT
EXPECT SNOW LEVELS TO LOWER DOWN TO 5000 FT...WITH SNOW LEVELS OF
AROUND 4500 TO 5000 FT ON FRIDAY. THESE LOWER SNOW LEVELS
COMBINED WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY  WILL BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS TO HIGHER ELEVATIONS. UPPER MOUNTAINS, ABOVE 7000
FT ELEVATION, WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT SNOW AMOUNTS TODAY INTO
TONIGHT.

THE COLD AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL ALSO BRING A
CHANCE OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE COAST AND COASTAL WATERS
TODAY. THEN AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE AREA, EXPECT THIS
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO EXTEND INLAND TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY INTO AREAS WEST OF THE CASCADES.

PREV LONG TERM DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 252 PM PST WED DEC 10 2014/

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ON FRIDAY A BROAD UPPER
TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTHWEST WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND SNOW LEVELS BETWEEN 4500-5000 FEET. COULD SEE UP TO A
FEW INCHES OF ACCUMULATION OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN EAST OF THE
CASCADES. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH POTENTIALLY HIGHER SNOW
AMOUNTS AS A SURFACE LOW SHOULD TRACK SOUTH TO NORTH INTO SOUTHEAST
OREGON WITH POTENTIAL HEAVIER AMOUNTS OVER LAKE COUNTY. COULD NEED
TO BUMP TOTALS THERE IN UPCOMING FORECASTS. FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY THINGS WILL SETTLE DOWN CONSIDERABLY WITH SOME MORNING
VALLEY FOG DEVELOPING IN AREAS UNDER SHORTWAVE RIDGING. BOTH THE
EURO AND GFS SOLUTIONS ARE BRINGING IN ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH TO THE
COAST LATER SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH SHOWER CHANCES INCREASING
MAINLY ACROSS THE COAST AND NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA. THIS TROUGH SHOULD
TRAVERSE THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY WITH SHOWERS
BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS. ADDITIONAL SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL TARGET THE
NORTHWEST WITH A FAIR DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING OF EVENTS AT
THIS POINT. SOLUTIONS ARE POINTING TO THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO A
COUPLE BOUTS OF GUSTY SOUTH WINDS AT THE COAST MONDAY-TUESDAY.
