.DISCUSSION...Temperatures are heating up once again this afternoon,
but they are a tad lower compared to this time yesterday. Triple digit
readings will be common for most west side valley locations with more
records being broken. Here is a recap of record highs for today.

Medford:       103 (1961)
Roseburg:      100 (1961)
Klamath Falls: 94  (2009)
Mount Shasta:  99  (1950)
Montague:      103 (1967)

The latest surface analysis shows the thermal trough positioned
along the Cascades with weak onshore flow near and at the coast.
Current visible image shows clear skies over most of the CWA. There
are some cu build ups over the higher terrain in northern Cal and
the marine stratus is hugging the coastline from about Bandon north.

Numbers aside, it's going to be HOT again this afternoon. Therefore
use extreme caution when outside, especially for the young and old,
even healthy adults. Everyone needs to avoid exerting themselves out
of doors through this evening, avoid direct sun and drink plenty of
water. A heat advisory remains in effect through this evening. See
PDXNPWMFR for details.

The upper ridge will flatten out Sunday as an upper trough in the
southern Alaska Panhandle will move southeast. This will knock max
temperatures down another 3-5 degrees or so, but that's still almost
10 degrees above normal and readings will still flirt near triple
digits in many interior west side valley locations. There's marginal
instability Sunday afternoon, but there's no trigger and mid level
moisture is lacking, so were not expecting any thunderstorms.
However 700 mb winds will be stronger (between 15-20 kts) Sunday
afternoon and this along with a tighter pressure gradient could
result in gusty winds at times east of the Cascades and in Modoc
County which could be a concern for the fire weather folks. More
details on this will be addressed in the fire weather discussion.

The upper trough will swing north of our area along the
Washington/B.C. border and bring probably the coolest day of the
period on Monday. Even then they will still be 5-7 degrees above
normal. There is a higher concern for gusty winds along and east of
the Cascades which could result in near or critical fire conditions.
Of particular concern will be the Withers Fire near Paisley.

The models remain in fairly good agreement with the overall pattern
for most of next week. An upper ridge sets up over the eastern
Pacific and is expected to remain there through Wednesday, then it
will inch closer to our CWA next Thursday and Friday. Temperatures
will heat up once again and could get near the triple digit mark in
Medford again by next Thursday and Friday. -Petrucelli

.AVIATION...20/18Z TAF cycle...IFR stratus linger on the coast south
of Cape Blanco, but should dissipate by mid afternoon. Otherwise the
forecast area is clear. IFR stratus will return to the coastal waters
this evening and push inland by sunrise. However, it is not expected
to spill over into the RBG area. Sven

.MARINE...Updated 1050 AM PDT, Saturday 20 August 2016...Fresh
northwest swell will slowly diminish today as a thermal trough
shifts inland. The thermal trough returns on Sunday, then
strengthens on Monday with increasing northerly winds.

Winds about 5 to 30 NM offshore from around Cape Blanco to Gold
Beach could reach low end small craft advisory criteria during
Sunday afternoon and evening. The thermal trough is expected to
strengthen on Monday with advisory conditions developing over much
of the waters. North winds will be weakest north of Cape Arago while
conditions in the outer waters south of Gold Beach may approach or
reach gale force.

Wind dominated seas will continue into the middle of next week with
the highest seas in the outer waters south of Cape Blanco.

.FIRE WEATHER...Updated 100 PM PDT Saturday 20 August 2016...

The hot streak will lessen as an upper level trough starts to swing
through the Pacific Northwest Sunday and Monday. With portions of
622 briefly reaching RFW criteria yesterday and todays relative
humidities being a little cooler there is a Red Flag warning in
place today for the same area. With a Haines of 6 today and tomorrow
over the Withers fire have continued the RFW today and upgraded the
watch to a warning for tomorrow.

Winds increase tomorrow the upper low begins to move into the
Pacific NW, with very low humidities over the region. This enhanced
the up valley flow in the Rogue valley of 622 and have issued a RFW
for this area again tomorrow. Gusty winds and very low humidities
will be present in Western Siskiyou county and the east side. With a
Haines of six on the Withers fire in addition to the high haines,
maintaining containment will be made more complicated.

The upper level trough moves inland Monday with the strongest winds
over the east side, mostly on ridges west of the Winter Rim, but
with the extremely dry fuel state, the existing Withers fire seeing
several days of extreme fire danger and downsloping winds from
the rim have included a narrow section of 625 in the watch for
Monday afternoon into the evening. Sven
