Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
800 PM PDT TUE OCT 11 2016

.DISCUSSION...12/00Z NAM in.

It is quiet weatherwise across the Medford CWA this evening, with
mostly clear skies except for marine stratus along the coast and
in the Umpqua Basin, and some higher clouds moving in from the
west. Winds are light for the most part.

A long wave ridge overhead is bringing the fair conditions to the
area. There will be one more warm and dry day Wednesday...then
there will be a drastic change in the pattern. Inland highs
Wednesday will be around 5 degrees above normal.

A deep long wave trough will move into the northeast Pacific
Thursday...and this trough will send strong short waves onshore
beginning Thursday. The surface fronts associated with these waves
will bring periods of high wind and heavy precipitation to the area
Thursday through the weekend. The first of these fronts will move
onshore Wednesday night...but a much wetter and windier front will
follow Thursday.

The day shift provided a very detailed summary of the expected
conditions...so an edited version of their summary follows.

There will be a big pattern shift toward very active, windy, wet
weather beginning Wednesday night, continuing through the weekend and
lasting into early next week. Confidence in this pattern change is
very high. The main forecast challenges will be how much rain will
occur and the potential for flooding, as well as how strong winds
will be.

Several strong fronts will move onshore from the Pacific during
this time frame, each of which will bring strong, gusty winds and
very heavy rainfall.

Rain amounts during this stretch will likely be more than we
would typically see during the entire month of October! Expected
total precipitation (QPF) from Thursday morning to sunrise Monday
morning is 10-15 inches in the Brookings area and the Curry
Coastal Mountains, 5-10 inches in other portions of the coastal
counties, 3-6 inches in much of Douglas County and the Cascades
and Siskiyous, 5-7 inches in the Mount Shasta area, 2-3 inches in
the usually drier Bear Creek portion of the Rogue Valley and
Central and Northern Shasta Valley, and 1-3 inches on the East
Side. If we get the expected 5-day precipitation total we
currently have in the forecast for the Medford Airport, it would
be the wettest 5-day period in the month of October in Medford
since 1962.

Since we are coming out of the dry season, many area rivers, creeks
and streams are running very low and therefore, can absorb a lot
of this moisture. However, with it coming in such a short period
of time, we expect some shorter term hydrological concerns, with
the possibility of flooding/slides on or near recent burn scars
and in areas where drains clog from fall debris. Right now, it's a
good idea to prepare for the incoming rainfall by cleaning gutters
and storms drains to lessen the risk of them backing up.

Strong winds will begin to affect the area late Thursday morning,
peaking at the coast late Thursday afternoon and evening. High
wind warnings have been issued for the coast south of Bandon, as
well as for the Shasta Valley, and portions of the East Side.
Advisory level winds are also expected for much of the East Side
and the Rogue Valley.

Regarding forecast confidence in warning level winds, confidence
is highest along and near the coast, with gusts over 60 mph
expected. In the Shasta Valley the rain spilling over from the
Mount Shasta upslope zone may cause frictional drag on the winds,
which could limit winds to below the 58 mph gust warning
threshold. However, more likely than not, these winds will occur
at some point during the warning period at Weed Airport or
Montague. For the wind warnings and advisories across the East
Side and the Rogue Valley confidence in warning and advisory
level winds is moderate to high on the east side and low to
moderate in the Rogue Valley. In short, the strength of the south
winds coming over the Siskiyous could keep winds from reaching
advisory criteria in the Rogue Valley. Currently, there appears to
be a 3 to 6 hour window late Thursday afternoon to early evening
where wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph are possible on from about the
center of the valley northeastward. For all areas, given that this
is the first significant wind event of the season and leave are
still on the trees in many areas, the potential for downed tree
limbs and power line is increased.

After a relative lull Friday, winds are expected to ramp back up
for another round of wind on par or possibly greater than the
first storms system for Saturday through Sunday as remnants of a
Western Pacific Ocean typhoon get ingested into the storm track
into the Pacific Northwest.

Snow levels look to be above 8kft for the bulk of this precipitation
event, but could dip to near 7kft in heavier bursts of precipitation
and on the tail end of individual frontal systems through Saturday
night. Sunday through Monday snow levels are expected to lower to
near 6kft. Anyone planning to venture onto the Cascade Peaks should
very much take this into consideration, as white-out conditions and
high winds at or above hurricane force above treeline, will occur,
at times.

Beyond that, model guidance is indicating that we'll get a break
around the middle of next week as a ridge aloft builds in. This may
present the opportunity for frost/freeze concerns on the west side
at some point. Spilde/BTL

.AVIATION...12/00Z TAF CYCLE...VFR conditions will continue
this evening for all TAF sites. Marine stratus will develop with IFR
CIGS and reduced visibility along the the coast, including North
Bend. Timing of when these conditions develop are low to medium. In
the Umpqua Basin, expect IFR to LIFR conditions...whether due to low
stratus or to fog is uncertain and depends on the amount of surface
mixing. Elsewhere...expect VFR and light winds through the TAF
period. -Petrucelli

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 800 PM PDT Tuesday, October 11, 2016...Weak
high pressure over the area will move out to the east Wednesday.
Relatively light winds and seas will persist through Wednesday.

Confidence is high a series of storms will move through the waters
Thursday through next weekend. Winds will become south and increase
as the first front approaches Wednesday evening and could reach
gales Wednesday night. Therefore a gale warning has been issued
preceding the storm warning Wednesday night. A low pressure system
will develop along the front Wednesday night, then rapidly deepen as
it moves from the southwest to northeast Thursday afternoon. There
are still differences among the models regarding the track and
strength of the low, but either way, at least gale force winds will
occur over much of the area late Thursday morning and evening. The
models also suggest storm force winds are likely in a strong coastal
jet just prior to frontal passage Thursday evening. Therefore have
decided to upgrade the storm and gale watches to warnings starting
late Thursday morning into Thursday evening. Depending on the timing
of the front, winds could drop below storm force earlier than 6z
(which is the current end time), but felt best to have a buffer zone
in the event future models runs are slower. Seas will be extremely
dangerous with at least 20 to 25 foot wind waves expected, and some
guidance suggests seas over 30 feet.

There may be a relative break in winds and seas Friday, but there
will still be at least small craft advisory level over much of the
area. Then an even stronger low may move by to our north and produce
even stronger winds and higher seas Saturday. While this storm could
be worse than the first, in order to avoid confusion, we'll continue
to cover it with a marine weather statement as opposed to additional
watches.  Yet another front will move onshore Sunday.
