AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
838 AM PST THU NOV 20 2014

.UPDATE...CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS AN AREA OF SHOWERS MOVING
INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST, IN ASSOCIATION WITH A WEAK
SYSTEM MOVING OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING. HAVE ADJUSTED
PRECIPITATION FORECAST FOR MUCH OF WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY AND
FAR SOUTHERN JACKSON AND JOSEPHINE COUNTY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
ACTIVITY. OTHERWISE, THE CURRENT FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK.

MAJOR FOCUS OF EFFORTS TODAY WILL REVOLVE AROUND THE STRONG STORM
SYSTEM EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA TOMORROW. SEVERAL WATCHES ARE
IN EFFECT THIS MORNING, AND DECISIONS WILL LIKELY BE MADE ON
MANY, IF NOT ALL, OF THESE BY THE END OF THE SHIFT TODAY. A BRIEF
LOOK AT CONDITIONS THIS MORNING INDICATE THAT STRONG WINDS, HEAVY
RAIN, AND VERY HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS ARE STILL IN STORE FOR
OUR FORECAST AREA. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE THE PREVIOUS
DISCUSSION BELOW. -BPN

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 20/12Z TAF CYCLE...IT HAS BECOME STABLE
ENOUGH FOR LIFR CIGS/VIS TO DEVELOP FOR PARTS OF THE WESTSIDE
VALLEYS INCLUDING KRBG AND KMFR. A WEAK SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN LATER
THIS MORNING AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN IMPROVED VIS AND CIGS AROUND
16Z, BUT ONLY TO MVFR WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS. THERE IS A CHANCE
FOR OCCASIONAL VFR CIGS THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. THE
COMBINATION OF A STABLE ATMOSPHERE AND AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
RESULT IN LIFR CIGS/VIS DEVELOPING AGAIN FOR THE WESTSIDE VALLEYS
TONIGHT.

EAST OF THE CASCADES...VFR AND OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED
INTO THIS EVENING. IT SHOULD BECOME STABLE ENOUGH FOR LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG TO DEVELOP AT KLMT LATE THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 830 AM PST NOV 20 2014...FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
FRIDAY NIGHT REMAIN A PERIOD OF HIGH CONCERN. MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT SHOWING A STRONG FRONT APPROACHING THE WATERS FRIDAY.
SOUTH WINDS WILL QUICKLY RAMP UP AND POSSIBLY REACH STORM FORCE
AROUND NOON FRIDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY EVENING WITH WIND DRIVEN SEAS
UPWARDS OF 15 TO 25 FEET. THEREFORE, WE'LL LET THE STORM WATCH AND
HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCH RIDE AND LET THE DAY SHIFT HAVE ANOTHER LOOK
AT THE DATA TO DETERMINE IF IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED TO A STORM
WARNING OR GO WITH HIGH END GALES.

THE KACV-KOTH MAXIMUM FORECAST PRESSURE GRADIENT IS STILL CLOSE TO
10 MB WITH BL WINDS IN THE 40-50 KT RANGE, AND 850 MB WINDS FROM
AROUND 220 AT 50-60 KT EARLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY FRIDAY
EVENING. THE TIMING OF MAX WINDS HAVE TRENDED A BIT EARLIER WHICH
MEANS THERE IS A BETTER CHANCE FOR THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM TO OCCUR
AT OR AROUND HIGH TIDE, RESULTING IN HIGHER WAVES AT PORT ORFORD.
THUS HAVE ISSUED A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH FOR THE PORT AT PORT ORFORD.
THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING AND WINDS WILL SHIFT
TO THE WEST AND DECREASE. MEANWHILE SEAS WILL REMAIN HEAVY AND
CHOPPY UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT THEN SUBSIDING. -PETRUCELLI

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 AM PST THU NOV 20 2014/

DISCUSSION...OTHER THAN A SLIGHTLY LATER TIMING OF THE FRONT ON
FRIDAY MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE VERY GOOD RUN TO RUN AND MODEL TO
MODEL CONSISTENCY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE SECOND IN A SERIES OF
FRONTS MOVES THROUGH TODAY WITH SNOW LEVEL DROPPING TO THE HIGHER
PASS LEVELS AT TIMES. WITH WARM ROAD SURFACE TEMPS DO NOT EXPECT
ANY ACCUMULATIONS ON AN SURFACE THAT IS NOT INSULATED FROM THE
GROUND. THE NEXT SYSTEM ON FRIDAY STILL LOOKS TO BE WET AND WINDY.
THE IVT ATMOSPHERIC RIVER MODELS STILL ARE SHOWING A GREATER THAN
85 PERCENT PROBABILITY OF GREATER THAN 500 KG PER METERS PER
SECOND OF MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO HE CAST FOR A 12 HOUR PERIOD AS
THE FRONT MOVES IN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG
WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN WILL BRING HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS TO
THE COAST AS WELL AS INCREASING THE CHANCE OF TREES LIMBS BREAKING
AND TREES TOPPLING WITH THE INCREASED HORIZONTAL STRESS. ALL OF
THE INGREDIENTS FOR A COASTAL JET REMAIN IN PLACE WITH A NEAR 10
MB GRADIENT KACV-KOTH AND 850 MB WINDS OF 55-60KT FROM THE
SOUTHWEST TO VECTOR THE WINDS ALONG THE COASTAL RANGE. AS THE
FRONT MOVES INLAND THE STRONG WINDS SPREAD TO THE EAST SIDE IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE SHASTA VALLEY IS THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY WITH A
GRADIENT INDICATING ADVISORY WINDS...BUT THE 700 MB WINDS ARE
WESTERLY WITH A SLIGHT NW COMPONENT. HAVE INCREASED THE WINDS IN
THE SHASTA VALLEY JUST BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS.
