Area forecast discussion, Dec 6, 9:25 AM PST, 2 hours 49 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
925 AM PST SUN DEC 6 2015
.DISCUSSION...A COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED EAST OF THE AREA THIS
MORNING AND IS WEAKENING ACROSS EASTERN OREGON AND NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. THE STRONGEST WINDS WITH THIS SYSTEM HAVE PASSED, SO
HAVE ADJUSTED THE WIND HEADLINES IN THE SHASTA VALLEY AND OVER THE
EAST SIDE DOWN TO ADVISORIES. WINDS CAN STILL REACH OR EXCEED 45
MPH FOR A FEW MORE HOURS THERE, BUT SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH THE
MORNING AND EASE BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
WE'RE IN A BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS TODAY ACROSS THE AREA, BUT THE
NEXT ONE, A WARM FRONT, WILL MOVE IN THIS EVENING AND THEN LIFT
NORTH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY. STRONG 700MB WINDS OF
60-70 KT SKIRT THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY. THE HIGH WIND WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD ALONG THE COAST AND ALSO EAST OF THE CASCADES. WE WILL BE
DECIDING ON UPGRADING THESE HEADLINES LATER THIS MORNING OR THIS
AFTERNOON.
SNOW LEVELS WILL BE RISING SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
SUCH THAT ONLY THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS ABOVE 5500 FT MSL WILL
RECEIVE ANY SNOW. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON, SNOW LEVELS WILL BE ABOVE
8000 FT MSL OVER THE ENTIRE CWA AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. RAIN AMOUNTS DURING THIS TIME FRAME DO NOT
APPEAR TO BE EXCESSIVE WEST OF THE CASCADES AS THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL WILL REMAIN DIRECTED TO OUR NORTH IN NORTHWEST OREGON AND
WASHINGTON. AND...WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE
EAST SIDE ON THE DRY SIDE. HOWEVER, THAT WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE AT
MIDWEEK AS A STRONG CENTRAL PACIFIC JET SHIFTS EASTWARD INTO THE
AREA. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING A STRONGER FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY WITH A PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION AND
LOWERING SNOW LEVELS. SPILDE
&&
.AVIATION...FOR THE 06/12Z TAF CYCLE...WIND SPEED SHEAR WILL
CONTINUE IN THE ROGUE VALLEY THIS MORNING BEFORE DIMINISHING. MVFR
CONDITIONS IN PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MANY VALLEY SITES
THIS MORNING, IMPROVING TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON AS PRECIPITATION
DIMINISHES. TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING ANOTHER SIMILAR FRONTAL
SYSTEM IS DUE IN BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIND SHEER AND
REDUCED CIG/VIS. BTL
&&
.MARINE...UPDATED 315 AM PST SUNDAY 6 DEC 2015...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INLAND THIS MORNING
WHILE SEAS REMAIN ELEVATED AND HAZARDOUS. VERY LARGE LONG PERIOD
SWELL WILL THEN BUILD THIS EVENING AS WINDS REACH GALE...AND
POSSIBLY EVEN STORM...FORCE AGAIN THIS EVENING INTO MONDAY AS THE
NEXT IN THE PARADE OF STRONG FRONTS ARRIVES. ANY LULL IN WINDS AND
SEAS MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE BRIEF...AS MORE STRONG FRONTS ARE
EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SEAS ON
THURSDAY COULD NEAR 30 FEET IN THE COASTAL WATERS. BTL

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 652 AM PST SUN DEC 6 2015/
DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 512 AM PST SUN DEC 6 2015/
DISCUSSION...A SERIES OF STORMS WILL AFFECT OUR AREA THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE LITTLE BREAK BETWEEN SYSTEMS. THIS
OBVIOUSLY INCLUDES A COLD FRONT WHICH HAS MOVED INLAND EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY
PRECIPITATION. DESPITE THE INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION...IT WILL BE
SHORT-LIVED WITH THE FAST MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT. WIND SPEEDS AND
PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH TOGETHER. RAIN IS ALREADY TAPERING OFF
AT THE COAST AND PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF ACROSS THE
WEST SIDE BY 8 AM PST. THE SNOW LEVEL IS GENERALLY AROUND 3500
FEET WITH 1 TO 4 INCHES EXPECTED FROM THE CASCADES WESTWARD. THIS
INCLUDES THE CASCADE AND SISKIYOU MOUNTAIN PASSES AND THE AREA
AROUND MT SHASTA CITY. BUT...A LIGHT ACCUMULATION OF SNOW HAS BEEN
REPORTED IN FAR SOUTH CENTRAL SISKIYOU COUNTY DOWN TO 2500 FEET.
EAST SIDE PRECIPITATION WILL BE MAINLY IN THE FORM OF LIGHT SNOW
WITH AREAS OF MIXED PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE MORNING. A FEW VERY
LIGHT SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
THE BREAK AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE BRIEF WITH COASTAL
WINDS POISED TO INCREASE AGAIN AND RAIN TO SPREAD ACROSS THE WEST
SIDE THIS EVENING. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ONCE AGAIN APPROACH OR
EXCEED WARNING CRITERIA AT THE COAST WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS AT
HEADLANDS...IN THE COASTAL RANGE AND EXPOSED COASTAL AREAS FROM
CAPE BLANCO NORTHWARD. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE INLAND WITH A
FOCUS FOR STRONGER WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN KLAMATH AND NORTHERN LAKE
COUNTIES MONDAY MORNING INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN WASHINGTON AND NORTHERN OREGON. WITH THE
NORTHERLY TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM...IT WILL BE WARMER. SNOW LEVELS
WILL BE ABOVE THE MAJOR PASSES...AROUND 5500 FEET MSL AND RISING.
A WET AND RELATIVELY WARM ONSHORE FLOW WILL PERSIST TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. WITH A WESTERLY FLOW...DOWNSLOPE DRYING WILL
RESULT IN LIGHTER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ON THE EAST SIDE.
RIDGING OVER CALIFORNIA IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY ON
TUESDAY WHILE A WARM FRONT PRODUCES LIGHTER...MAINLY COASTAL RAIN
IN SOUTHERN OREGON. RISES ON RIVERS AND STREAMS WILL BE STEADY BUT
MODEST EARLY THIS WEEK. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHEST IN THE
CURRY COUNTY MOUNTAINS.
MODEL DIFFERENCES INCREASE WITH WHAT MAY BE A STRONGER FRONT
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE SIMILAR
TIMING WHILE THE NAM IS ABOUT 6 TO 12 HOURS SLOWER. ALSO...THE GFS
DEPICTION IS THE STRONGEST. WE HAVE GONE WITH A MODEL BLEND AND
KEPT SNOW LEVELS ABOVE 8000 FT MSL DURING THE BULK OF THE EVENT.
THE IMPACT OF THIS EVENT WILL LIKELY BE MAINLY IN THE FORM OF
STRONG WINDS WITH FAST MOVEMENT ONCE AGAIN A FACTOR IN PROVIDING
DOUBT THAT RIVER RISES WILL BE HIGH ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY
MAIN STEM RIVER FLOODING. BUT...A FLOOD POTENTIAL OUTLOOK HAS
BEEN UPDATED AS COASTAL PASTURE LAND MAY BECOME INUNDATED AND
CERTAINLY RIVER RISES WILL BE RAPID AND NOTICEABLE.
SNOW LEVELS WILL LOWER BEHIND THE FRONT DURING WEDNESDAY...BUT
POST-FRONTAL SHOWER AMOUNTS WILL PALE IN COMPARISON TO THOSE AHEAD
OF/WITH THE FRONT. ANOTHER COLD CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL LIKELY FOLLOW
CLOSE BEHIND WITH ADDITIONAL WIND...RAIN AND MOUNTAIN SNOW
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL
BRING A COOLING TREND...LOWER SNOW LEVELS AND LIGHT TO MODERATE
PRECIPITATION AROUND THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
THEREAFTER...THE GFS IS MUCH STRONGER THAN THE ECMWF WITH ANOTHER
SYSTEM NEXT WEEKEND.
AVIATION...FOR THE 06/12Z TAF CYCLE...WIND SPEED SHEAR WILL
CONTINUE IN THE ROGUE VALLEY THIS MORNING BEFORE DIMINISHING. MVFR
CONDITIONS IN PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MANY VALLEY SITES
THIS MORNING, IMPROVING TO VFR THIS AFTERNOON AS PRECIPITATION
DIMINISHES. TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING ANOTHER SIMILAR FRONTAL
