Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 9:26 AM PST, 2 hours 23 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
926 AM PST FRI FEB 6 2015
.UPDATES...WINDS HAVE DECREASED A BIT BUT THIS IS THE CALM BEFORE
ANOTHER STORM BRINGS GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA. EXPECT SOUTH WINDS TO
INCREASE AGAIN AROUND NOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON
OR EARLY THIS EVENING. I HAVE RETAINED THE CURRENT WIND ADVISORY AMD
WARNING.
24 HOUR RAINFALL FOR AREAS WEST OF THE CASCADES WERE IN THE 2-3 INCH
RANGE WITH JOSEPHINE COUNTY, WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY AND THE
SISKIYOU MTNS RECEIVING JUST OVER 5 INCHES. SEVERAL FLOOD WATCHES
HAVE EITHER BEEN UPGRADED TO WARNINGS OR CONVERTED TO ADVISORY. SEE
PDXFLWMFR AND PDXFLSMFR FOR FLOOD CONCERNS. /FB
&&
.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 06/12Z TAF CYCLE...WIND SHEAR WILL BE A
CONCERN AT OR NEAR ALL 4 OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE DAY AS
SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE TO 50-60 KNOTS AROUND 2000 FEET ABOVE
GROUND WHILE SOME SHELTERED VALLEY LOCATIONS MAINTAIN LIGHT WINDS AT
TIMES. EAST OF THE CASCADES SOME HIGHER LEVEL WINDS OF 50 TO 70
KNOTS WILL LIKELY MIX DOWN INTO THE VALLEYS THIS MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON. THIS MAY BRING VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS TO EAST SIDE
TERMINALS. COASTAL LOCATIONS AND SOME WEST SIDE VALLEYS, INCLUDING
KMFR ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS TODAY.
STRONG WINDS ALOFT WILL ALSO CREATE WIDESPREAD TURBULENCE WITH
STRONG MOUNTAIN WAVE TURBULENCE EXPECTED. ADDITIONAL STRONG STORMS
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY AND MAY BRING ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF
STRONG WINDS AND WIDESPREAD TURBULENCE.
EXPECT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE COAST INTO THIS AFTERNOON
WITH MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS TO THE COAST RANGE AND STRONG GUSTY
WINDS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK THIS MORNING ALONG THE COAST BUT
WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THE 24 HOUR PERIOD. INLAND...ALSO EXPECT
MODERATE RAINFALL, BUT WITH AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN MAINLY FOR WESTERN
AND SOUTHERN SISKIYOU COUNTY, INCLUDING KMHS. THIS WILL BRING AREAS
OF MVFR CIGS TO THE COAST THIS MORNING...SPREADING INTO AREAS FROM
THE CASCADES WEST AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
IN PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED. SK/DW
&&
.MARINE...UPDATED 400 AM PST FRIDAY 6 FEBRUARY 2015....A SERIES OF
STRONG FRONTS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WATERS INTO MONDAY WITH VERY
STEEP AND DANGEROUS SHORT PERIOD SEAS. SOUTH GALE AND STORM FORCE
WINDS AND VERY HIGH SEAS ARE AT A PEAK EARLY THIS MORNING. NOW WINDS
AND SEAS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH INTO THIS EVENING...FIRST TO GALES
THIS MORNING THEN TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS. THE NEXT
FRONT WILL BRING GALES AND BUILDING SEAS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY THEN GALES MAY RETURN SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE A STRONGER
FRONT ARRIVES. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STORM FORCE WINDS AND VERY
HIGH SEAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. SEAS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN HAZARDOUS THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT THEN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING
IMPROVING CONDITIONS INTO MID-WEEK. /DW
&&
.DISCUSSION...A VERY ENERGETIC PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST THIS MORNING. A BROAD UPPER LOW IS AFFECTING
MUCH OF THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC AND WE ARE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE MOISTURE AND ENERGY AND WILL REMAIN UNDER THE GUN THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
A VERY STRONG JET STREAK (~135 KT AT 400 MB) EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
MAIN FLOW IS APPROACHING THE COAST THIS MORNING AND WILL MOVE
ONSHORE THIS AFTERNOON. THE ASSOCIATED MOISTURE PLUME WILL
CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN OVER OUR AREA,
ESPECIALLY IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS FROM THE CASCADE CREST WESTWARD.
GOING PRECIPITATION FORECASTS HAVEN'T BEEN CHANGED THIS MORNING,
AND A VARIETY OF FLOOD WATCHES (INCLUDING FOR BURN SCARS IN
CALIFORNIA) REMAIN IN EFFECT.
WINDS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED AS IT HAS BEEN QUITE A BIT WINDIER THIS
MORNING THAN EXPECTED. WE'VE ALREADY SEEN A GUST TO 123 MPH AT
SQUAW PEAK, AND STRONG WINDS HAVE BEEN MIXING DOWN INTO THE
VALLEYS AS WELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN AIDED BY THE DOWNWARD MOMENTUM
FROM HEAVIER BURSTS OF RAIN. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OF THOSE IN MEDFORD
ALREADY, AND WINDS HAVE GUSTED AS HIGH AS 44 MPH AS A RESULT. THE
COAST, PORTIONS OF THE SHASTA VALLEY, AND THE EAST SIDE HAVE ALSO
BEEN GETTING PUMMELED WITH HIGH WINDS. I'VE EXPANDED THE HIGH WIND
WARNINGS WE ALREADY HAD FOR THESE LOCATIONS, AND I ALSO ISSUED A
WIND ADVISORY FOR MUCH OF THE ROGUE VALLEY THIS MORNING TO BRIDGE
THE GAP WE HAD UNTIL THE HIGH WIND WARNING BEGINS FOR THE ROGUE
VALLEY LATER THIS MORNING. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO PEAK LATE THIS
MORNING AS THE JET STREAK MOVES ASHORE, AND ALL GUIDANCE SHOWS A
FEW HOURS OF VERY WINDY WEATHER FROM LATE MORNING INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON. THE MOUNTAINS AND EAST SIDE WILL PEAK A LITTLE LATER
TODAY.
THIS IS ALL JUST ROUND ONE WITH AT LEAST TWO MORE ROUNDS TO GO.
ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ALONG THE COAST
BRINGING HEAVY RAIN AND WIND ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
A VERY STRONG SYSTEM WITH MORE HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS SUNDAY.
SUNDAY'S SYSTEM IS ONE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON AS THE MODELS SHOW A
STRONG, NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER SYSTEM WITH STRONG SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE MOVING INSIDE 130W. THIS IS A CLASSIC PATTERN FOR A
DAMAGING WIND STORM AT THE COAST. THE SYSTEMS OVER THE WEEKEND
WILL CERTAINLY NECESSITATE MORE WIND WARNINGS AND WE MAY ALSO NEED
ADDITIONAL FLOOD HEADLINES AS WELL. WE'VE CHOSEN NOT TO COMPLICATE
AN ALREADY VERY COMPLICATED WATCH, WARNING, AND ADVISORY MAP BY
ADDING ANY WATCHES FOR LATER STORMS. HOWEVER, RESIDENTS AND
TRAVELERS IN THE AREA SHOULD BE AWARE THAT VERY WET AND WINDY
WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF OUR AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
QUIETER WEATHER LOOKS TO BE IN THE OFFING FOR NEXT WEEK AS AN
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. -WRIGHT
&&
.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 06/06Z TAF CYCLE...WIND SHEAR WILL BE A
CONCERN AT OR NEAR ALL 4 OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE DAY AS WINDS
INCREASE TO 50-60 KNOTS AROUND 2000 FEET ABOVE GROUND WHILE SOME
SHELTERED VALLEY LOCATIONS MAINTAIN LIGHT WINDS AT TIMES. EAST OF
THE CASCADES SOME HIGHER LEVEL WINDS OF 50 TO 70 KNOTS WILL LIKELY

ALOFT WILL ALSO CREATE WIDESPREAD TURBULENCE WITH STRONG MOUNTAIN
WAVE TURBULENCE EXPECTED. ADDITIONAL STRONG STORMS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH SUNDAY AND MAY BRING ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF STRONG WINDS AND
WIDESPREAD TURBULENCE.
EXPECT MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE COAST WITH MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS TO THE COAST RANGE AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO PEAK LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING ALONG THE COAST BUT
WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THE 24 HOUR PERIOD. INLAND...ALSO EXPECT
MODERATE RAINFALL, WITH AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN MAINLY FOR WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN SISKIYOU COUNTY, INCLUDING KMHS. THIS WILL BRING AREAS OF
