OPERATING SMALLER VESSELS SHOULD AVOID NAVIGATING IN THESE
CONDITIONS.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES WILL
BE STEEP ENOUGH TO CREATE A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO SMALL CRAFT.

A HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCH IS ISSUED WHEN THE RISK OF HAZARDOUS SEAS
HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED...BUT THE SPECIFIC TIMING AND/OR

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
903 PM PST SAT FEB 15 2014

.UPDATE...WHILE THE BULK OF PRECIPITATION HAS COME TO AN END WEST
OF THE CASCADES...STEADY RAIN CONTINUES TO FALL OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA. POST FRONTAL SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE OVER
THE WEST SIDE TONIGHT...BUT AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT. ALSO...SNOW
LEVELS HAVE BEGUN TO FALL QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...DROPPING FROM
OVER 6000 FEET TO AROUND 3000 TO 4000 FEET. EXPECT THESE LOWERED
SNOW LEVELS TO SPREAD EAST AS THE FRONT PASSES...AND MANY
LOCATIONS IN THE CASCADES SHOULD PICK UP A FEW INCHES OR MORE OF
SNOW TONIGHT. WILL LET THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THESE
LOCATIONS CONTINUE.

MUCH LIKE THE RAINS...THE WINDS OVER THE CASCADES AND THE WEST
SIDE HAVE WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY NOW THAT THE FRONT HAS PUSHED
THROUGH. WILL CANCEL THE WIND HEADLINES HERE A FEW HOURS EARLY.
HOWEVER...THE FRONT HAS YET TO CROSS THE EAST SIDE...AND WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG UNTIL THAT OCCURS...SO WIND
ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS WILL STAY IN PLACE FOR SEVERAL MORE
HOURS.

DUE TO LOWER THAN EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS TODAY...MANY OF THE
RIVERS HAVE NOT RISEN AS HIGH AS FORECAST. HAVE CANCELED A FLOOD
WATCH FOR THE NORTH FORK OF THE COQUILLE AT MYRTLE POINT AS THE
RIVER HAS REMAINED BELOW FLOOD STAGE AND IS CURRENTLY RECEDING.
FLOOD WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR THE COQUILLE RIVER AT COQUILLE...AND
THE SOUTH FORK OF THE COQUILLE AT MYRTLE POINT.

FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE REST OF THE FORECAST TERM...AND
THE THINKING BEHIND THE CONTINUING HEADLINES...SEE THE PREVIOUS
DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 16/00Z TAF CYCLE.
A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSED THE COAST THIS EVENING...AND AS OF 06
UTC IS CROSSING THE CASCADE CREST. AND THEN PROCEED ACROSS THE
EAST SIDE. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE EAST SIDE
AS THE FRONT PUSHES FARTHER EAST. CONDITIONS ARE GENERALLY MVFR
OR BETTER IN LIGHT RAIN AHEAD OF THE FRONT, BUT EXPECT CONDITIONS
TO DETERIORATE TO IFR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IN MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN DURING FROPA. ALSO, MODERATE CONVECTION IS SEEN IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE FRONT AND WILL MOVE IN SHORTLY AFTER FROPA. THIS
CONVECTION IS MOVING DUE EAST AT AROUND 50 KT AND MAY BRING GUSTY
WINDS AND ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKES AS IT MOVES THROUGH THIS
EVENING. THIS IS MOST LIKELY AT THE COAST BUT MAY ALSO OCCUR
INLAND. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FROM WEST TO EAST LATE THIS
EVENING. -LOVEGROVE

&&

.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF TONIGHT AND
INTO TOMORROW MORNING. HAVE ALLOWED GALE WARNINGS TO EXPIRE...AS
BUOY OBSERVATIONS HAVE SHOWN A SHARP DECREASE IN WINDS SPEEDS. HIGH
AND VERY STEEP SEAS WILL ALSO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING AS THE
WIND GENERATED WAVES DIE DOWN. THERE WILL BE A SHORT BREAK BEFORE
THE NEXT COLD FRONT ARRIVES SUNDAY WITH HIGH SEAS AND GALE FORCE
WINDS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. ADDITIONAL STORM SYSTEMS WILL FOLLOW
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 302 PM PST SAT FEB 15 2014/

SHORT TERM...A WELL DEFINED COLD FRONT HAS JUST MOVED ONSHORE.
VERY IMPRESSIVE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COLD FRONT BUT NOT TOO
MUCH PRECIPITATION. AS A RESULT...HAVE LOWERED PRECIPITATION
FORECASTS CONSIDERABLY FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST. THIS SHOULD BODE
WELL TO ALLEVIATE ANY FURTHER SIGNIFICANT RIVER RISES AS THIS FRONT
MOVES INLAND. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS PLENTY OF BREAKS IN THE
CLOUDS BEHIND THE FRONT SO AM ONLY EXPECTING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THE BIG ISSUE IS WIND. MANY STATIONS
ALONG AND EAST OF THE CASCADES ARE SHOWING WIND ADVISORY AND HIGH
WIND WARNING LEVEL WINDS AT THIS TIME AND THESE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE FOR A GOOD PORTION OF TONIGHT UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH.

THIS FRONT PUTS US INTO A TRANSITION FROM THE WARM SOUTHWEST FLOW
AND VERY MOIST SUB TROPICAL REGIME TO A COOLER WEST TO NORTHWEST
AND NOT SO MOIST REGIME. THE NEXT SYSTEM IN THIS NORTHWEST FLOW
MOVES THROUGH ON MONDAY. SNOW LEVELS DROP TO PASS LEVELS WITH
MONDAYS SYSTEM WHICH WILL BRING MUCH WELCOMED SNOW TO THE
MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER SOMEWHAT JUICIER SYSTEM FOLLOWS ON TUESDAY.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...COLD ADVECTION ON
WEDNESDAY WILL DROP SNOW LEVELS TO AROUND 2500 FEET BY DAY'S END.
DEEP, MOIST, ONSHORE FLOW COMBINED WITH OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT WILL
KEEP PRECIPITATION GOING THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. QPF AMOUNTS
DON'T LOOK TERRIBLY HEFTY BUT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MODERATE
SNOW AMOUNTS ALONG THE WEST FACING SLOPES OF ALL OUR RANGES.
PRECIPITATION BRIEFLY EBBS WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT WILL RETURN ON
THURSDAY AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN
AROUND 3000 FEET ON THURSDAY, SO ADDITIONAL IMPACTS FROM SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS IS LIKELY. IT LOOKS LESS LIKELY THAT THE LOWER PASSES SUCH
AS SEXTON SUMMIT WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED, BUT IT WILL
PROBABLY SNOW AT TIMES ON THE LOWER PASSES WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPS OFFSHORE ON
FRIDAY AND WE BEGIN TO DRY OUT UNDER MORE STABLE NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. THE RIDGE AXIS GETS CLOSER TO THE COASTLINE OVER THE WEEKEND
AND THIS WILL INDUCE AN OFFSHORE FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS. THE RESULT
SHOULD BE DRY WEATHER WITH VALLEY INVERSIONS. -WRIGHT
