Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
200 AM PDT Sat May 6 2017

.DISCUSSION...06/00Z NAM/GFS/EC in.

A deep upper level long wave trough is now moving into the west
coast. It is shearing and as it moves through Saturday into
Sunday...it will leave a cutoff low over Southern California.
Light showers will persist into Saturday afternoon...then
diminish Saturday evening as a long wave ridge noses into the area
between the residual trough and the cutoff low.

Saturday highs will be around 10 degrees below normal over most
of the area. One notable exception will be the south coast around
Brookings, where the beginnings of a Chetco effect will warm
temperature to 5 to 10 degrees above normal.

Low level easterly flow will develop Saturday night and continue
through Monday night. Therefore Saturday night through Tuesday
look to be dry.

The clearing skies will make Saturday night into Sunday morning
quite cool. Isolated frost develop in western valleys...including
portions of the Rogue, Illinois, Applegate and Shasta valleys.
Winds will also be light in protected valley locations, which
would support the development of frost. Breezy conditions will
develop over the mountains and some higher valley locations
Sunday morning...especially over the south Coast Range.

Sunday will be warmer everywhere with highs near normal to around
5 degrees below normal. The exception will once again be along
the south coast, where the Chetco effect will be stronger with
highs around 15 degrees above normal. Monday highs inland will be
around 5 degrees above normal except near normal along the north
coast and once again around 15 degrees above normal along the
south coast. Tuesday highs will be warmer still inland...around 10
degrees above normal. The return of onshore flow will keep
temperatures near normal along the coast.

The cutoff low...and the ridge to the northwest of it...will both
move off to the east. The ridge axis will break to the east of the
Medford CWA Tuesday night.

Long term discussion from the Friday afternoon AFD...Wednesday
through Friday. For Wednesday through Friday, there is general
agreement on the large scale evolution of the pattern but
disagreement on the timing, track, and strength of a series of
disturbances that will be associated with a broad upper level
trough moving southeastward out of the Gulf of Alaska. Wednesday
will likely begin a transition. The probability of precipitation
on Wednesday has been lowered with the ECMWF and a majority of the
GFS ensemble members holding rain with the first associated front
offshore through the day. Model uncertainty increases beyond
Wednesday but the probability of precipitation also increases. The
main uncertainty related to the aforementioned model differences
is whether the late week weather will be generally cool and
showery with mainly light intensity precipitation or if the
systems will be stronger and wetter. Late week temperatures are
likely to trend lower...at least back to near normal. -DW

.AVIATION...06/06Z TAF CYCLE...Scattered showers will linger tonight
into Saturday morning as an upper trough moves through the forecast
area. This will result in variable ceilings and visibilities with
areas of MVFR ceilings likely from the Cascades east. West of the
Cascades, lingering low level moisture and isolated showers will
result in areas of valley and coastal MVFR cigs tonight into
Saturday morning. Mountain obscurations are expected through
Saturday morning. By late Saturday morning, most locations should
become VFR as a drier air mass moves in. Gusty north to northwest
winds are expected in most places Saturday afternoon. -CC

.MARINE...Updated 200 AM PDT Saturday, 6 May 2017...High pressure
offshore and a thermal trough at the coast will bring increasing
northerly winds through the weekend. The latest buoy observations
(Buoy 27) and the latest ASCAT pass are showing solid small craft
conditions for the southern waters. Buoy 15 were showing peak wind
gust near small craft, but they should remain below for the next few
hours before increasing. Made a few adjustments to the headlines for
today. Most notably to expand the coverage area of the hazardous
seas warning and small craft advisory.

The models now suggest gale force winds could be reached for the
southern waters late this afternoon through Sunday evening mainly
south of Gold Beach and about 7 NM from shore. Although winds will
briefly diminish later Saturday night into Sunday morning. Meanwhile
hazardous seas warning conditions are expected to expand northward
just west of Cape Blanco late this afternoon through Sunday evening
and therefore made adjustments to the coverage area. Elsewhere small
craft conditions are expected late this afternoon through Sunday
evening. There's even a chance these conditions could carry over
into Monday morning, but confidence was not high enough to extend
the end time of the headlines. Please see MWWMFR for more details.
