AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
222 PM PST SAT DEC 13 2014

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH WEDNESDAY DEC 17...THE GFS AND EUROPEAN ARE
INITIALLY VERY SIMILAR. TONIGHT A SHORT WAVE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVER OVER THE WEST COAST. THE MAIN QUESTION FOR
TONIGHT IS HOW MUCH VALLEY FOG WILL FORM IN THE SOUTHWEST OREGON
VALLEYS. IF THE STRATUS DECK THAT HAS BEEN OVER MOST VALLEYS TODAY
LINGERS INTO THE NIGHT, THE FOG WILL BE MAINLY PATCHY. IF IT
CLEARS OUT, THAT WILL ALLOW MORE RADIATIONAL COOLING AND MORE
WIDESPREAD FOG. HAVE CHOSEN TO HEDGE TO MORE CLOUDS OVER THE ROGUE
VALLEY WITH THE UMPQUA CLEARING. THIS RIDGE IS PROGRESSIVE AND
WILL BE PUSHED OUT BY A SHORT WAVE STORM COMING IN AROUND MID-DAY
SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE AN INITIAL WARM FRONT THAT WILL LIFT
SNOW LEVELS A BIT. THIS SYSTEM IS NOWHERE NEAR AS WARM AS SOME
RECENT SYSTEMS SO SNOW LEVELS WILL ONLY RISE TO AROUND 5000 FEET.
THIS FRONT STALLS OUT ALONG THE COAST AS A STRONGER SHORT WAVE
ROTATES AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE PARENT LOW PRESSURE TROUGH. THE
NEXT SYSTEM WILL MAINLY AFFECT CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. SOUTHERN OREGON
AND FAR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA STAY ON THE EDGE OF THE SYSTEM. OUR
CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE FAIRLY HIGH THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEK BUT THE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE LOW. THERE WILL BE A
SERIES OF WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGHS COMING TO THE AREA WITH THEM
COMING ABOUT ONE PER DAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...RIDGING IS EXPECTED
TO BUILD OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH THE GFS COMPLETELY DRY.
THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO THE ECMWF WHICH HAS SOME LIGHT OVERRUNNING
PRECIPITATION OCCURRING THURSDAY MORNING. BOTH DETERMINISTIC
SOLUTIONS SUGGEST MAINLY DRY WEATHER DURING THE DAY THURSDAY AHEAD
OF A POTENT FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING IN FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST. THIS
STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SOME SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN
SNOWS...BUT WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT YET ON SNOW LEVELS AND WHERE THE
ENERGY WILL FOCUS. AS OF NOW...IT SEEMS BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE
SHOVING THE ENERGY MORE TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...INTO
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA. THIS WOULD BRING LESS PRECIPITATION TO OUR AREA.
NEVERTHELESS...WE HAVE INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES SHARPLY FOR
FRIDAY BASED ON GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT A TROUGH WILL PASS THROUGH
AND WILL BRING RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW. SNOW LEVELS WILL LIKELY BE IN
THE 4000 TO 5000 FOOT RANGE.

RIDGING BUILDS IN OVER THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...AND
THIS COULD SIGNAL AN END TO THE TRAIN OF WET SYSTEMS MOVING
THROUGH...FOR QUITE A WHILE.  THE COUPLED FORECAST SYSTEM MODEL
VERSION 2 SUGGESTS DRYING AND WARMING CONDITIONS IN WEEKS 2-
4...WHICH WILL MEAN WARMER CONDITIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND ROUNDS OF
FOG AND COLD DAYTIME TEMPERATURES IN THE VALLEYS. THE NAEFS
SUPPORTS THIS IDEA IN WEEK 2 AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 13/18Z TAF CYCLE...THE COAST SHOULD REMAIN
MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH TOMORROW. SOME LINGERING MVFR CONDITIONS IN
WEST SIDE VALLEYS WILL LOWER TO IFR TONIGHT IN A STABLE AIR MASS.
CLOUDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO TOTALLY CLEAR FROM THE ROGUE VALLEY THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THUS FOG IS NOT EXPECTED AT MEDFORD BUT LOW IFR
CEILINGS INSTEAD.  ON THE EAST SIDE...LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE
EXPECTED TO FORM AGAIN TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE RECENT
SNOWFALL IS MELTING AND ADDING TO THE SURFACE MOISTURE. SK

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 600 AM PST SAT DEC 13 2014...A HIGH AND STEEP WEST
SWELL WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AND BECOME MODERATE BY THIS EVENING.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE AREA PROVIDING RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS
TONIGHT INTO THIS EVENING THEN A FRONT WILL APPROACH THE COASTAL
WATERS LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS,
ESPECIALLY OVER THE OUTER WATERS. THE SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHWARD ALONG OR JUST OUTSIDE
130W...THEN THE UPPER TROUGH SPLITS, THE FRONT WEAKENS AND ANOTHER
WEAKER SURFACE LOW MOVES INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BY MONDAY MORNING.
PRIOR TO THE TROUGH SPLIT, WINDS MAY REACH GALE FORCE OVER THE OUTER
WATERS SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. BUT WINDS SHOULD
WEAKEN EASTWARD AS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WEAKENS. EITHER WAY, EXPECT A
SIGNIFICANT RAMP-UP IN SEAS AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT AS LONG PERIOD WEST
SWELL COMBINES WITH STEEP SHORT PERIOD WIND WAVES.

THE NEXT FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATER MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY
WITH A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE WEEK. THIS WILL CONTINUE
HIGH AND STEEP SEAS WITH WEST SWELL COMBINING WITH PERIODS OF
INCREASED SOUTHERLY WIND WAVES.
