AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
839 AM PST SUN FEB 16 2014

.DISCUSSION...SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS ARE STILL GUSTING ACROSS
LAKE COUNTY BUT THE TREND IS FOR THE WINDS TO DECREASE TODAY
EXCEPT FOR UPSLOPING INTO THE CASCADES AND THE SISKIYOUS. SNOW
LEVELS WERE AROUND 3000 FEET THIS MORNING AND ARE EXPECTED TO
RISE TO 4-4500 FEET THIS AFTERNOON FOR SW OREGON AND 5-5500 FEET
FOR EASTERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. FURTHER OFFSHORE AN
OCCLUDED FRONT IS APPROACHING 130W. THIS FRONT IS MOVING NE TOWARD
WASHINGTON BUT SOUTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TONIGHT IN THE
COASTAL WATERS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT PORTION AS WELL AS EAST OF
THE CASCADES AND AT THE HIGHER PEAKS. MAY HAVE TO ISSUE A WIND
ADVISORY FOR LAKE COUNTY AND THE WINTER RIM AREA WITH THIS
AFTERNOON PACKAGE. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INLAND DURING THE
DAY ON MONDAY. PRECIPITATION AMOUNT WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM ON
MONDAY WILL ONLY BE BETWEEN 0.5 TO 1.0 INCH AT CURRY COUNTY COAST
AND EASTERN DOUGLAS COUNTY INTO THE CASCADES..AND ONLY ABOUT 0.10
AT MEDFORD AND LITTLE TO ACCUMULATION EAST OF KLAMATH/TULELAKE
BASIN. /FB

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE COQUILLE RIVER AT COQUILLE WILL REMAIN ABOVE
FLOOD STAGE TODAY. THE SOUTH FORK OF THE COQUILLE RIVER AT MYRTLE
POINT CAME CLOSE TO FLOOD STAGE. EXPECT BOTH TO SLOWLY RECEDE
THROUGHOUT TODAY BUT THE COQUILLE AT COQUILLE IS EXPECTED TO STAY
ABOVE FLOOD STAGE AT LEAST THROUGH TONIGHT. PLEASE SEE THE
PDXFLSMFR BULLETIN FOR DETAIL. /FB

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 16/12Z TAF CYCLE.

EXPECT VFR TO PREVAIL TODAY...WITH SOME ISOLATED POCKETS OF MVFR
WITHIN SHOWERS DURING THE MORNING. ALSO EXPECT AREAS OF MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS THROUGH THIS MORNING, MAINLY FROM THE CASCADES WEST
IN OREGON. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BEGIN PUSHING ONSHORE LATE
TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING RAIN AND MVFR CIGS TO THE COAST BETWEEN
09Z AND 12Z. ALSO EXPECT GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING. MVFR CIGS AND PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INLAND
MONDAY MORNING TO THE CASCADES.

&&

.MARINE...ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE WATERS  THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN GRADUALLY MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING. AHEAD OF THIS SOUTH WINDS TO RISE TO GALES WITH VERY
STEEP SEAS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...AND PERSISTING
INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING.  SEAS WILL INCREASE TODAY INTO TONIGHT AS
BOTH WIND WAVES AND WESTERLY SWELL BUILD. SEA ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK
AT 18 TO 22 FT TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL DECREASE
MONDAY AFTERNOON BUT STEEP SEAS WILL PERSIST.  ON TUESDAY ANOTHER
FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE WATERS. THIS FRONT MAY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
GALES AND VERY STEEP SEAS. FOLLOWING THIS FRONT, ANOTHER STORM MAY
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA AROUND  WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BRING ADDITIONAL
GUSTY WINDS AND CONTINUED STEEP SEAS. LATE IN THE WEEK EXPECT A
PERIOD OF DECREASING SEAS AS HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFFSHORE. /CC

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 356 AM PST SUN FEB 16 2014/

DISCUSSION...FINALLY THE WEATHER HAS SETTLED DOWN COMPARED TO THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS. A COLD FRONT HAS ALREADY CLEARED THE AREA AND NOW
THE UPPER TROUGH BEHIND THE TROUGH IS AT THE OREGON COAST AND THIS
HAS RESULTED IN SCATTERED PRECIPITATION OVER PARTS OF THE AREA. THIS
TROUGH WILL ZIP THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING AND WE SHOULD SEE
SHOWERS COME TO AN END THIS AFTERNOON AS WEAK RIDGING BUILDS IN.
IT WILL REMAIN BREEZY EAST OF THE CASCADES, BUT NOTHING LIKE WHAT WE
GOT YESTERDAY.

WE'LL REMAIN IN WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW MONDAY AND ANOTHER FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BRINGING PRECIPITATION MAINLY ALONG
AND WEST OF THE CASCADES. THE AIRMASS WILL BE COOLER AND THUS THERE
IS A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW ABOVE 4500-5000 FEET.
ALSO QPF AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE EXCESSIVE, SO IT SHOULD NOT
CAUSE ANY NEW FLOODING CONCERNS. 700 MB WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE AND PEAK OUT BETWEEN 50-60 KTS MONDAY AFTERNOON RESULTING
IN GUSTY WINDS EAST OF THE CASCADES. THERE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH
ADVISORY OR WARNING CRITERIA, BUT FURTHER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO RE
EVALUATE.

THE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING A STRONGER FRONT
MOVING INTO THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE CWA TUESDAY MORNING AND
PUSHING SOUTHEASTWARD TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL
BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW. MODERATE TO STRONG
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST AND EASTSIDE.

MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW FOLLOWS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH A WEAK
SHORTWAVE MOVING NORTHEAST OF THE AREAS WEDNESDAY MORNING FOLLOWED
BY A STRONGER SHORTWAVE THURSDAY MORNING WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BRING
RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE CASCADES.

THE EC AND GFS SUGGEST AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OFFSHORE WITH
OFFSHORE FLOW DEVELOPING FRIDAY AND LASTING INTO NEXT SATURDAY WITH
COOLER TEMPERATURES. -PETRUCELLI

AVIATION...BASED ON THE 16/06Z TAF CYCLE.

THE FRONT HAS PASSED OVER THE CASCADES...MEANING MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN HAS ENDED FOR THE WEST SIDE...BUT SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ISOLATED LIGHTNING
STRIKES REPORTED JUST OFFSHORE...AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT
SOME STRIKES COULD OCCUR ALONG THE COAST AS SHOWER ACTIVITY OFFSHORE
PUSHES INLAND. FREEZING LEVELS HAVE ALSO DROPPED TO AROUND 3000 TO
4000 FEET BEHIND THE FRONT. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE EAST
SIDE UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES THERE...SOMETIME AROUND 12 UTC. EXPECT
VFR TO PREVAIL...WITH SOME ISOLATED POCKETS OF MVFR WITHIN SHOWERS.
CONDITIONS WITHIN SOME VALLEYS...PARTICULARLY SOUTH OF THE UMPQUA
DIVIDE AND THE KLAMATH BASIN...COULD DETERIORATE LATE IN THE TAF
PERIOD AS CLEAR SKIES AND AMPLE SURFACE MOISTURE COMBINE TO PRODUCE
FOG. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN PUSHING ONSHORE LATE IN THE TERM AS
WELL...PRODUCING INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND A CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION. -BPN

MARINE...SEAS WILL REMAIN STEEP AS A HIGH WEST SWELL BRIEFLY
BECOMES DOMINANT. ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW CLOSELY
BEHIND WITH GALES AND VERY STEEP SEAS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TODAY INTO
TONIGHT. SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK AROUND 22 FT TONIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING DUE TO LARGE WESTERLY SWELL AND VERY STEEP WIND WAVES.
THIS STORMY PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK WITH HIGH
TO VERY HIGH SEAS...AND PERIODS OF GALE FORCE WINDS POSSIBLE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. /JBL
