Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
858 PM PST Sun Jan 15 2017

.DISCUSSION...The forecast was updated earlier this evening to
increase the sky cover in west side valleys late tonight into
Monday. Low clouds and fog persisted all day in portions of
Josephine and Douglas County, and coverage has begun to expand.

The focus for the night shift will be on the series of storms
poised to affect our area from Tuesday into next week. While these
systems will get progressively colder, low elevation snow is not
likely at least with the first couple of systems...through
Friday. Unlike the widespread ice and snow from early this month,
this will be more of a traditional atmospheric river event.

&&

.AVIATION...17/00Z TAF CYCLE...Conditions over the next 24 hours
are expected to be very similar to those observed in the past 24 hours.
Areas of IFR/LIFR CIG/VIS in low clouds and freezing fog over the
West Side valleys will return to the same areas this evening through
Monday morning. The Roseburg and Grants Pass areas probably will not
improve beyond IFR Monday afternoon once again, as the inversion will
become stronger during the next 24 hours. KRBG and KMFR will be
affected by the lower conditions. Over the remainder of the area, VFR
conditions will prevail through Monday afternoon, with some increase
in mid-level cloudiness during the day on Monday. BTL

&&

.MARINE...Updated 305 PM PST Sunday, 15 January 2017...
Building long period west swell will today is coming in a little lower
than previously expected. This west swell is still expected to build
through this evening, peaking combined seas at 9 to 10 feet at 17
seconds. South winds will increase on Monday as the first in a
series of strong fronts approaches. Gales are likely Tuesday
afternoon/evening through Wednesday and seas are likely to peak in the
18 to 28 foot range. A period of storms force winds is possible due to
the formation of a low level coastal jet stream Wednesday. West swell
late next week could reach or exceed 25 feet. It should be noted that
there continues to be a lot of model variability for maximum wave
heights late this next week, with wave model guidance indicating 14 to
18 second west swell peaking at buoy 15 in the 22 to 30 foot range
centered on late Thursday. For instance, the current Wave Watch III
model run indicates 29 feet at 17 seconds Friday afternoon, whereas
the preceding model run indicated a peak swell of 23 feet for that
same time period. BTL

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 233 PM PST Sun Jan 15 2017/

DISCUSSION...

Short Term...Tonight through Wednesday Night...Fog and low clouds
have burned off from much of the Rogue Valley near Medford, but
persist near Grants Pass and in the Umpqua Valley this afternoon.
Much like yesterday, these areas may not fully burn off today at
all. Fog and low clouds will likely return once again tonight. The
air stagnation advisory remains in effect for the Umpqua,
Illinois, and Rogue Valleys, as well as the Klamath Falls area, as
particulate counts remain elevated and there is little in the way
of mixing through Tuesday.

Models have backed off a bit more on the timing of the expected
storm system this week. Now, the front begins to make its way
through our area Tuesday night into Wednesday, or roughly 6 to 12
hours later than previous forecasts. The model suites are also
showing a faster progression of the front, and although rain rates
will still be high, the duration of the heavy rain will not be as
long, and therefore total amounts will be less. Unfortunately, the
area snowpack continues to be much of an enigma, even though snow
levels will be quite high during much of the heaviest
precipitation. How much snow remains at lower elevations, the
water content, the ability of the snow to absorb rainfall, and the
rate of melt are all still uncertain, and will all have an impact
on the amount of water runoff and the eventual height of area
river, creeks, and streams. The latest river stage forecasts,
which try to take all known values of these variables into
account, are now only producing flooding along the Coquille River
at Coquille, but my suspicion is that flooding will still be a
concern for our more "flashy" rivers, Water may also be an issue
in some urban areas, the Illinois valley, and many of the coastal
river and streams. One thing does seem clear, and that is the
lesser amounts East of the Cascades. Have continued the flood
outlook (PDXESFMFR) for the West Side, but have discontinued it
for the East, as the threat seems to be greatly diminished.

Also of note will be winds and snow. Model pressure gradient
forecasts and mid level wind fields suggest the possibility of
high winds along the coast, in the Shasta Valley, and across the
East Side along and ahead of the front as it passes through.
Behind the front, snow levels will begin to drop quickly, and
while we do not expect snow levels to drop drastically before the
heavier precipitation ends Wednesday night, elevations above 5000
feet or so could see heavy snow once snow levels fall Wednesday
afternoon into Wednesday evening.

Timing and duration for this event is key, and the models still
have yet to nail these variables down. Although confidence is
increasing, will hold off on headlines a bit longer until
confidence improves. -BPN
