Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
910 AM PST Sat Mar 4 2017

.DISCUSSION...
No updates are needed this morning as forecast elements are in
good shape.

Reports from trained weather spotters and automated weather
stations indicate that 1-2 inches of rain fell in the last 24
hours through 830AM PST in Curry County. A report from 2800 feet
in the Curry County Coastal Mountains indicated wet snow falling
there. Snow levels range from 2500-3000 feet on the coast, to near
4000 feet across the West Side into the Cascades, and then to as
high as 4500-5000 feet in Modoc and Lake Counties.

We expect snow impacts to greatly increase tonight through Sunday
as snow levels fall and precipitation increases across the
forecast area. Snow impacts tonight into Sunday morning are then
likely to continue into Monday for lower elevation areas. As has
previously been indicated by preceding shifts, the influence of
the March sun and ground temperatures will limit valley snow
impacts, especially during the afternoon hours Sunday and Monday.
BTL

&&

.AVIATION...04/12Z TAF CYCLE...Freezing levels will be near 3500
feet today. There will be numerous morning showers with a mix of
VFR and MVFR and areas of obscured terrain...though local IFR
ceilings are possible in the Umpqua and Rogue Valleys through 18Z.
The next front will move onshore early this afternoon into this
evening with a slight chance for thunderstorms from the coastal
waters to the coastal range. It will also bring an increase of
precipitation as it moves inland through the evening with
increased coverage of MVFR, and mountain obscuration. Freezing
levels will drop to near 2000 feet late tonight into Sunday
morning as the character of precipitation changes to tapering
showers and snow showers with a mix of VFR and MVFR. -DW

&&

.MARINE...Updated 330 AM PST Saturday 4 March 2017...The headlines
are unchanged from the inherited forecast with a small craft
advisory in effect through Monday. Gusts could briefly reach gale
force as a front moves through with a slight chance of thunderstorms
this afternoon. Winds will briefly and slightly diminish tonight
then winds increase again with the next front on Sunday. This front
is likely to be slightly stronger than today's system and once again
may bring gale force gusts from late morning into the afternoon
north of Cape Blanco.  Seas will reach a peak of 13 to 15 feet at 12
seconds early Sunday evening, then gradually ease into Monday
evening. Models are still showing the potential for gales and very
steep seas on Tuesday. Additional disturbances will bring periods of
moderate or higher winds with steep to very steep seas through the
week. -DW

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 346 AM PST Sat Mar 4 2017/

DISCUSSION...Currently, numerous showers are spread across the
area ahead of a passing cold front. Snow levels are currently
hovering around 4000 feet, but once the cold front moves through,
these will drop considerably through today and into tonight. Snow
showers will continue in the mountains today, with light rain in
the valleys, but no additional significant accumulations are
expected. That is, until tonight, when the heavier precipitation
arrives.

The upper level trough will push towards our area tonight, with
strong dynamics and lift accompanying another surge of moisture.
Snow levels will have lowered to at least 1500 feet by this time,
and the setup will be conducive to heavy mountain snows. All area
passes are likely to see accumulations tonight into Sunday, and
travel difficulties are expected. Confidence is very high for
snow occurrence and amounts, with exceptional model agreement. A
winter weather advisory is in place for this, and details on the
headlines can be found at PDXWSWMFR.

One feature that does warrant our eye will be a small scale
surface low that is expected to develop offshore and push into the
coast late tonight into early Sunday morning. Models bring the
low ashore somewhere between Eureka and Cape Blanco, and where it
arrives and the track it takes inland could make a significant
difference in the forecast, as it impacts precipitation
development and winds. Currently, the forecast brings the low
ashore near Brookings late tonight, then arcs it over Medford and
Crater Lake early Sunday morning, but this could easily change
given the smaller scale and speed at which the low is moving. it
will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The upper level trough will then pass overhead Sunday into Monday
morning, and this is when mountain snow will really pile up. With
the cold air aloft, the atmosphere will be quite unstable, and
showers will be numerous and heavy at times. In fact, it will not
be out of the question for thunder to accompany any of the
heavier, more developed convective showers. With already low snow
levels dragged down even further by the heavier precipitation,
thunder snow may even be observed. Given the showery nature of
precipitation expected Sunday into Monday, confidence in snow
amounts is much lower. Will leave the Winter Storm Watch in place
for now.

While no heavy snow amounts are expected this weekend for the
valley floors, it is entirely likely that an inch or two will make
its way down to below 1000 feet, especially on Sunday. A big
uncertainty will be ground temperatures, which may keep snow from
accumulating, or may end up producing a slushy mess on area roads.
Any heavy showers could easily drag snow levels down to 500 feet
or lower, and quickly produce accumulating snow before it can
fully melt. Those headed out and about this weekend, even in the
valleys, should be prepared for the possibility of slick roads and
quickly deteriorating conditions.

Tuesday, yet another system will make it's way onshore. models
are showing a deepening surface low approaching the Oregon coast,
and while there is little in the way of upper level support, there
is little reason to believe that we will not see another round of
moderate to heavy precipitation, not to mention gusty winds,
especially along the coast. Snow levels will have risen by this
point, but only to about 3000 feet, and as the system passes, snow
levels should rise even further as warm advection quickly moves
in behind the departing front.

More systems are likely to pass through the area through the
remainder of the week and into next weekend, but by this point,
model solutions have diverged quite a bit, and confidence is not
high enough to pin down specifics. Suffice to say, the active and
wet pattern is not expected to come to an end before next weekend.
