AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
100 AM PDT THU MAR 27 2014

.DISCUSSION...27/00Z NAM/GFS IN.

A WET AND OCCASIONALLY WINDY PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE FOR THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND IT WILL PERSIST INTO THIS WEEKEND...AND
MAYBE MOST OF NEXT WEEK AS WELL.

INITIALLY THE GLOBAL PATTERN SHOWS A LOW AMPLITUDE PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN. AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES...THIS WILL TRANSITION TO A
LESS PROGRESSIVE OR STATIONARY HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN...AT LEAST
NEAR THE WEST COAST.

POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS PERSIST OVER THE AREA TONIGHT AS SHORT WAVES
MOVE THROUGH ON WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS PATTERN WILL
CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY MORNING. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE 3500 TO 4000
FEET THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THE CASCADES NORTH OF HIGHWAY 140 WILL
GET THE MOST PRECIPITATION AS THE INSTABILITY WILL BE ASSISTED BY
UPSLOPE FLOW THERE. EXPECT 3-6 INCHES OF SNOW THERE THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING...AND MAYBE AS MUCH AS 8 INCHES AROUND CRATER
LAKE. SECONDARY MAXIMUMS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE COAST RANGE AND IN
THE CASCADES SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 140. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION IN
THE COAST RANGE WILL FALL AS RAIN...BUT 2-4 INCHES OF SNOW IS
EXPECTED OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS THERE AND IN THE CASCADES
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 140.

SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH THURSDAY AFTERNOON AFTER THE LAST IN
THE CURRENT STRING OF SHORT WAVES MOVES THROUGH AND A UPPER RIDGE
BRIEFLY BUILDS OVER THE AREA. THEY WON'T SHUT OFF COMPLETELY
THOUGH AS FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN WESTERLY AND THUS UPSLOPE ALONG
THE COAST AND CASCADE RANGES WILL CONTINUE.

THE RELATIVE BREAK WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS THE RIDGE AXIS WILL
BREAK TO THE EAST THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALSO MARK THE
TRANSITION TO A HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN. THE OFFSHORE LONG WAVE
TROUGH WILL DIG IN PLACE AND STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL SET
UP OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL PUMP QUITE A BIT OF MOISTURE INTO THE
AREA...IN FACT IT WILL BE AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVENT. EXPECT
HEAVY PRECIPITATION TO DEVELOP THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE WARM FRONT
LIFTS THROUGH THE AREA. SNOW LEVELS WILL RISE TO 6000-7000 FEET
BEHIND THE WARM FRONT. OCCASIONALLY HEAVY PRECIPITATION WILL
CONTINUE AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL FALL TO 3000-4000 FEET BEHIND THE
FRONT. EXPECT SOME SIGNIFICANT RIVER RISES DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN.
NO MAIN STEM FLOODING IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...BUT THE COQUILLE
MAY APPROACH FLOOD STAGE.

WINDS ALOFT WILL BECOME WESTERLY AND WEAKEN AS THE TROUGH MOVES
ONSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT. THE STEADY PRECIPITATION WILL TRANSITION
TO LIGHTER SHOWERS AT THIS TIME. A RESIDUAL TROUGH WILL REMAIN
OFFSHORE THOUGH...AND THIS ONE WILL ALSO DIG IN PLACE AS SHORT WAVES
FEED INTO IT. THE NEXT COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ONSHORE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION
WITH IT.

THE HITS WILL KEEP ON COMING FOR THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...AS DESCRIBED
IN THE EXTENDED DISCUSSION FROM THE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AFD...WHICH
FOLLOWS.

LONG TERM DISCUSSION FROM THE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AFD...SUNDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A BROAD LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE IN THE
EASTERN PACIFIC WITH SOUTHWEST TO WEST FLOW INTO OREGON. SUNDAY
COULD SEE SOME CLEARING AS THE PACIFIC FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE
OUT OF THE AREA. HOWEVER THE AIR MASS WILL STILL BE UNSTABLE WITH
SHOWERS APPEARING THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

ANOTHER LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE
COAST ON MONDAY. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
POSITION OF THIS LOW AND PLACE IT AROUND 350 MILES WEST OF ASTORIA
OREGON. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOST LIKELY PRODUCE A ROUND OF STRONG
WINDS OVER THE WATERS, COAST, AND PERHAPS EAST SIDE AS THE SURFACE
FRONT SWEEPS INLAND. SNOW LEVELS SHOOT UP BRIEFLY, BUT THEN DROP
BACK DOWN TO 4000 FEET OR SO ON TUESDAY AS THE LOW MOVES INLAND,
THUS THIS ONE MIGHT BE A DECENT SNOW PRODUCER IN THE MOUNTAINS.
ALL THE MODELS SHOW THE PARADE OF SYSTEMS CONTINUING WELL INTO
NEXT WEEK. /FB

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 27/06Z TAF CYCLE...EXPECT WIDESPREAD MVFR
CIGS ALONG THE COAST, WHICH MAY BRIEFLY LOWER TO IFR OVERNIGHT.
MOIST ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP SHOWERS GOING MOST OF THE NIGHT ALONG
THE COAST AND OVER THE FAVORED WEST AND SOUTHWEST-FACING MOUNTAIN
LOCATIONS, WHERE TERRAIN WILL BE OBSCURED. THE REMAINDER OF THE WEST
SIDE WILL VARY BETWEEN VFR AND MVFR, MOSTLY LOWERING ONLY
TEMPORARILY IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. EAST SIDE AREAS WILL ALSO SEE A MIX
OF MVFR AND VFR, BUT COVERAGE OF SHOWERS WILL BE MUCH LESS THAN THE
LAST 24 HOURS. SPILDE

&&

.MARINE...SHOWERS, GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. WINDS SHOULD EASE A BIT
THURSDAY MORNING, BUT A HEAVY WESTERLY SWELL WILL KEEP SEAS STEEP
MOST OF THE DAY. UNCERTAINTY IS SOMEWHAT HIGH ON THE MAGNITUDE OF
THE HAZARDOUS SEAS...BUT DUE TO THE LARGE AREA OF COVERAGE WHERE
THESE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST...OPTED TO ISSUE A WARNING RATHER
THAN CONTINUE WITH JUST SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN
UNSETTLED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS AND
HEAVY WIND DRIVEN SEAS...IN ADDITION TO HEAVY SWELL THAT IS EXPECTED
TO BUILD INTO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...AND AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
