Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
857 AM PST Thu Nov 10 2016

.DISCUSSION...Other than low clouds and areas of fog for most west
side valley locations and along the coast. Skies are clear to
mostly clear with some high clouds well ahead of a front offshore
moving through over the marine waters. Fog and low clouds should
gradually burn off late this morning, but some of the short range
guidance suggest low clouds could hang on longer, say into early
this afternoon before burning off. For now we'll continue to
monitor and make further adjustments if needed later this morning.
Also made a few adjustment to the sky cover to reflect the latest
visible image.

The latest GFS and NAM are starting to come in and they are in
pretty good agreement with the timing of the next front on Friday.
Right now it looks like we could get away with another dry day for
most areas. The exception will be at the coast where rain could
sneak in late in the afternoon. See previous discussion for
details. -Petrucelli

&&

.AVIATION...10/12Z TAF cycle... LIFR-IFR fog and low clouds
are present across west side valleys and along the coast, with
widespread terrain obscuratation. Cigs should lift along the coast
late this morning. Expect fog in west side valleys to clear late
this morning.  Expect expected again tonight across the valleys near
and west of the Cascades. Conditions will be similar tonight, though
a front will move through tomorrow, so timing of front could impact
terminal conditions. -MSC

Note: The ceilometer at FAA site KOTH is out of service, so there
will be no ceiling observations available generally between the
hours of 04Z and 14Z.

&&

.MARINE...Updated 230 AM PST Thursday, 10 November 2016...
Seas will fall below small craft advisory criteria early this
morning with benign marine conditions expected over the waters
through today. South winds should increase significantly Friday
ahead of a fairly strong cold front. Winds may approach gales for a
short time. Steep hazardous seas should also result and thus have
issued a Hazardous seas watch. Seas near 15 feet Friday afternoon
and night will gradually lower to near 10 feet by early Sunday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 728 AM PST Thu Nov 10 2016/

SHORT TERM...An upper level ridge will remain centered east of
the area today while an upper low is centered near the Gulf of
Alaska. This pattern will bring southwest flow aloft. Dry
conditions are expected through Friday morning. The pattern will
change as a front and shortwave trough move towards the coast
Friday afternoon and inland Friday evening and night. Rain is
expected with this front, mainly from the Cascades west. Some
lingering showers are also expected into Saturday as the
shortwave trough tracks inland over the region.

This morning, a mix of valley fog and high clouds is expected
across the area. Areas of fog and low clouds are expected for
valleys west of the Cascades and along the coast this morning. Fog
and low clouds will gradually clear in the late morning for most
areas. However fog may persist in portions of the Umpqua Valley
and in the Grants Pass area into the early afternoon. High clouds,
associated with a jet aloft, are present over the area early this
morning and will gradually shift northeastward through the
morning. In the afternoon. expect mostly clear to partly cloudy
skies for most inland areas with temperatures warming into the mid
to upper 60s across inland valleys.

On Friday, a front and shortwave trough will move towards the
coast then inland Friday evening and night. This front will bring
light to moderate rain to areas from the Cascades west. The front
will move into a strong ridge and is expected to weaken as it
moves inland. So expect lower chances for light rain east of the
Cascades. Gusty south winds are also expected ahead of the front.
Winds in the southern Shasta Valley, over the mountains and into
the Summer Lake area are expected to gust to around 30 to 40 mph
Friday afternoon and evening then lower Friday night into Saturday
morning.

As the shortwave moves across the area on Saturday and there is
moist westerly flow, models show some continued showers over the
area Saturday. Showers will diminish Saturday evening as the
shortwave trough moves east then an upper ridge strengths over the
Saturday night. This break in the weather pattern will be short
lived though as models are in good agreement showing a moist
frontal system moving into the area on Sunday.
