AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
837 PM PDT MON MAR 28 2016

.DISCUSSION...EVENING UPDATE. UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO MEANDER
TO THE EAST TONIGHT. SATELLITE IMAGES ARE CURRENTLY SHOWING THE
UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS HITTING A SUBSIDENCE WALL...BUT A VORT LOBE
SWINGING DOWN FROM THE COAST WILL MERGE WITH ANOTHER SWINGING AROUND
FROM THE UPPER LOW OVERNIGHT...MEETING OVER LAKE THE EAST SIDE. WITH
THIS IN MIND HAVE KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THAT AREA AND REMOVED ANY
MENTION FROM THE CASCADES WESTWARD WITH THE MT SHASTA ARE BEING THE
EXCEPTION. SVEN

&&

.AVIATION...FOR THE 29/00Z TAF CYCLE...WEAK INSTABILITY WILL PRODUCE
SCATTERED CUMULUS AND ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE AREA THROUGH
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER, CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR AT ALL
TERMINALS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.  OTH AND PERHAPS RBG WILL SEE SOME
LOWERING CIGS,  BUT CLOUDS SHOULD STAY SCATTERED. GUSTY NORTH WINDS
WILL ALSO CONTINUE AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH EARLY EVENING. -SMITH

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 400 PM PDT MON 28 MAR 2016...A THERMAL TROUGHING
PATTERN WILL DEVELOP FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS RESULTING IN MODERATE
SEAS AND SOME SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FOR THE WATERS TODAY AND THE
SOUTHERN WATERS TUESDAY.  WEAK THERMAL TROUGHING WILL CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK.  NO MAJOR HEADLINES EXPECTED TOWARDS THE TAIL END OF THE
WEEK. -SMITH

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 219 PM PDT MON MAR 28 2016/

DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...TWO MAIN ISSUES ARE
EXPECTED DURING THE SHORT TERM: GUSTY WINDS EAST OF THE CASCADES ON
TUESDAY, AND COLD OVERNIGHT VALLEY TEMPERATURES WEST OF THE CASCADES
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR
THE AFFECTED AREAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, BUT HAVE HELD OFF ON FROST OR
FREEZE HEADLINES FOR THE VALLEYS, AS TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED
TO DROP TO VALUES CRITICAL TO CURRENT AGRICULTURE.

CURRENTLY, SOME LIGHT SHOWERS ARE ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION,
PRIMARILY ALONG THE NORTH AND WEST FACING SLOPES, BUT PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS ARE LIGHT AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO TAPER OFF THROUGH TONIGHT
AND TOMORROW MORNING. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REPORTS OF LIGHT SNOW,
GENERALLY AROUND 2500 FEET IN ELEVATION AND ABOVE, BUT SO FAR THERE
HAVE NOT BEEN ANY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS, AND NONE ARE EXPECTED.
SOME LIGHT SNOW IS POSSIBLE OVER FAR EASTERN MODOC AND FAR
SOUTHEASTERN LAKE COUNTY TOMORROW, BUT AGAIN, VERY LITTLE
ACCUMULATION IS FORECAST.

NORTHWEST WINDS TODAY WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH TOMORROW, AND THEN
WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY BY WEDNESDAY. THIS DOWNSLOPING FLOW
PATTERN, ALONG WITH A DEVELOPING THERMAL TROUGH, WILL BRING WARMING
TEMPERATURES TO THE WEST SIDE THROUGH THE WEEK. OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE THIRTIES WITHIN THE VALLEYS, BUT DUE
TO A STRONG TEMPERATURE INVERSION, HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE A
STEADY WARMING OF OVERNIGHT LOWS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. WHILE
SCATTERED FROST IS LIKELY IN THE WEST SIDE VALLEYS, FREEZING
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD, AND THOSE LOCATIONS
THAT DO DROP TO FREEZING OR BELOW WILL ONLY DO SO FOR A SHORT TIME.
OTHERWISE, THE MAJOR EFFECT OF THE EASTERLY WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT
TERM. -BPN

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...A STRONG RIDGE ALOFT WILL
PROVIDE ONE MORE REALLY WARM DAY ON FRIDAY FOR AREAS INLAND FROM THE
COAST. THE UPPER RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH WILL BE
IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TO THE EAST FRIDAY, AND A WEAK FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE COAST LATE IN THE DAY. AS IT RUNS INTO THE RIDGE, THIS
FRONT WILL NOT LIKELY HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY RAIN
AT THE COAST FRIDAY, BUT ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP IT ON THE COOL SIDE.

THE RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST OF US OVER THE WEEKEND AND OPEN THE DOOR TO
PRECIPITATING SYSTEMS FROM THE PACIFIC. THE MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF
ON THE STRENGTH OF THE ENSUING SYSTEMS, SO WE DON'T EXPECT MUCH RAIN
OR SNOW, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL COOL BACK TO AROUND NORMAL OVER THE
WEEKEND. THE FIRST SYSTEM OF ENOUGH SIGNIFICANCE TO PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY HOLD OFF UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK,
BUT THE MODELS DIFFER ON HOW SOON SUCH A SYSTEM ARRIVES. THE EUROPEAN
MODEL SHOWS ONE ON MONDAY, THE GFS HOLDS OFF UNTIL TUESDAY, AND THE
CANADIAN WOULD HAVE RAIN BOTH DAYS. POPS FOR LATER MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT WERE RAISED TO AT LEAST CLIMO. -WRIGHT
