AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
245 PM PDT SAT OCT 24 2015

.SHORT TERM...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS CENTERED OFFSHORE NEAR 43N
AND 134W WITH A COLD FRONT AHEAD OF IT. THIS LOW AND ASSOCIATED
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE OREGON COAST THIS EVENING INTO
TONIGHT. AS THE SYSTEM GRADUALLY SHIFTS INLAND ON SUNDAY, WITH
THE LOW CENTER MOVING NORTHWARD UP THE COAST OF NORTHERN OREGON
AND WASHINGTON, EXPECT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN TO SPREAD INLAND.
BREEZY TO GUSTY SOUTH WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED OVER THE AREA ON
SUNDAY. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM, AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD
INTO THE AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...THEN SHIFT
EAST ON TUESDAY AS ANOTHER PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES
THE PACNW COAST. THIS LOW WILL BRING A COLD FRONT TO THE AREA
WITH PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

TODAY...HIGH CLOUDS HAVE BEGUN TO TO THIN THIS AFTERNOON OVER
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE AND MODOC
COUNTIES. THIS IS ALLOWING SOME INLAND AREAS TO WARM INTO THE
UPPER 60S AND LOW 70S, INCLUDING THE ILLINOIS VALLEY AND WESTERN
AND CENTRAL SISKIYOU COUNTY AS WELL AS MODOC AND SOUTHERN LAKE
COUNTIES. HOWEVER, HIGH CLOUDS PERSIST OVER CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
THE AREA IN DOUGLAS, JACKSON AND KLAMATH COUNTIES AND TEMPERATURES
HAVE BEEN SLOW TO WARM. THE INLAND HIGH CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO CLEAR AND GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST THIS EVENING.

THE OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT, WILL
APPROACH THE OREGON COAST DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THIS
IS EXPECTED TO BRING RAIN TO COASTAL AREAS ALONG WITH INCREASING
SOUTH WINDS. ALSO RAIN ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THIS EVENING
INTO SUNDAY MORNING. AS THE FRONT MOVES INLAND AND THE SURFACE LOW
MOVES NORTH ALONG THE NORTHERN OREGON AND WASHINGTON COASTS SUNDAY
MORNING AND AFTERNOON, EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO SPREAD OVER MUCH OF
THE AREA. MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY LOWER ON THE PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS FOR SUNDAY AND EXPECT MAINLY LIGHT TO MODERATE
PRECIPITATION OVER THE AREA. BREEZY SOUTH WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED
ON SUNDAY, WITH SOME STRONG WINDS GUSTING TO 30 TO 40 MPH OVER THE
HIGHER MOUNTAINS, IN THE SHASTA VALLEY AND NEAR SUMMER LAKE.

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT, AS THE LOW SHIFTS INLAND AND EASTWARD ACROSS
WASHINGTON, EXPECT SOME LINGERING LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE AREA WITH
SHOWERS DIMINISHING ON MONDAY AS A SHORTWAVE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
INTO THE AREA. THE RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING DRY CONDITIONS WITH MILD TO WARM
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND TUESDAY. ON TUESDAY, EXPECT SOME
INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
FRONT.

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING OF THE NEXT FRONT,
SHOWING IT NEARING THE COAST TUESDAY EVENING AND MOVING INLAND
OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. OF NOTE, THE GFS
IS NOT AS MOIST WITH THIS SYSTEM AND HAS THE SURFACE LOW
POSITIONED FURTHER NORTH IN THE GULF OF ALASKA, COMPARED TO THE
ECMWF WHICH HAS A MOISTER SOLUTION AND SHOWS THE SURFACE LOW OFF
THE COAST OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ON WEDNESDAY. HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND
OF THE ECMWF AND GFS LEANING A BIT TOWARDS THE MOISTER ECMWF
SOLUTION. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE CONTINUED VARIABILITY IN MODEL AND
ENSEMBLE SOLUTIONS, THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE STRENGTH AND
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM...DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND GFS WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER TROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. THE GFS IS FASTER AND WEAKER WITH THE TROUGH WITH
RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE AREA THURSDAY. IN
CONTRAST THE ECMWF SHOWS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE UPPER TROUGH IN A NORTHWEST FLOW MOVING INTO THE AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THEN MOVING SOUTH ON THURSDAY WITH MOIST
NORTHWEST FLOW TO FOLLOW, THUS THE SOLUTION IS WETTER. SUSPECT THE
ECMWF MAY BE TOO WET ON THURSDAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AS
THE SHORTWAVE MOVES SOUTH AND 500MB HEIGHTS BEGIN TO RISE. FOR NOW
WENT WITH A BLEND BETWEEN THE TWO, BUT DID TREND POPS LOWER. THE
RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT OVER THE REGION FRIDAY WITH DRY AND MILDER
WEATHER EXPECTED. HOWEVER THE AMOUNT OF WARMING WILL DEPEND ON THE
AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER. THE RIDGE WILL FLATTEN OUT NEXT WEEKEND
WITH THE STORM TRACK SLOWLY SHIFTING SOUTH. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL REMAIN NORTH NEXT SATURDAY, THEN SHIFT SOUTH INTO OUR
AREA NEXT SUNDAY. -PETRUCELLI

&&

.AVIATION...FOR THE 24/18Z TAF CYCLE...THE MAIN CONCERN AHEAD IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR WIND SPEED SHEAR AT NORTH BEND LATE TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY MORNING AND ROSEBURG EARLY TO MID MORNING SUNDAY. AT THE
COAST, VFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO LAST INTO TONIGHT, THEN CEILINGS
WILL GRADUALLY LOWER WITH IFR CIGS DEVELOPING BETWEEN 11-13Z SUNDAY.
ELSEWHERE VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS, BUT IT
COULD BE A CLOSE CALL BETWEEN VFR AND MVFR CIGS AT ROSEBURG TOWARDS
THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. -PETRUCELLI

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 930 AM PDT SATURDAY, 24 OCT 2015...WINDS ARE
ALREADY STARTING TO INCREASE OVER THE WATERS AS THE SURFACE LOW NEAR
43N/136W MOVES EAST. THE MODELS SUGGEST WINDS WILL INCREASE EARLIER
AND IT'S LIKELY SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP LATE THIS
MORNING OVER THE OUTER WATERS, THEN MOVING INTO THE INNER WATERS,
MAINLY BEYOND 5 MN FROM SHORE THIS AFTERNOON. THEREFORE DECIDED TO
GO WITH AN EARLIER START TIME FOR SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS TO 11 AM
PDT THIS MORNING. PLEASE SEE MWWMFR FOR MORE DETAILS. THE SURFACE
LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK EAST TOWARDS NORTHWEST OREGON LATE SUNDAY
MORNING, BUT THE MODELS DO NOT SHOW THE LOW DEEPENING. HOWEVER A
FRONTAL SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE OUTER WATERS EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING, THEN MOVE INLAND SUNDAY AFTERNOON. DURING THIS TIME, WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK OUT WITH GALES POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN
WATERS SUNDAY MORNING WITH THE MODELS HINTING AT A COASTAL JET
DURING THIS TIME. RIGHT NOW THE MODELS ARE SHOWING 925 WINDS
BETWEEN 40-50 KTS SUNDAY MORNING FOR PARTS OF THE NORTHERN WATERS.
LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO REEVALUATE THE THE POTENTIAL FOR GALES
SUNDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL DECREASE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT
MOVES INLAND AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. ITS' POSSIBLE WINDS WILL DROP BELOW SMALL CRAFT SUNDAY
NIGHT.

STEEP TO VERY STEEP SOUTHWEST SEAS WILL BUILD RAPIDLY THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT, PEAKING AROUND 14 FEET ON SUNDAY. SEAS THEN SUBSIDE
BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA MONDAY, THEN SHIFT EAST TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AS ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES THE OUTER WATERS.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY A SERIES OF FRONTS WILL MOVE THROUGH.
LARGE WEST SWELL IS EXPECTED TO PEAK SEAS NEAR 16 FEET ON WEDNESDAY.
