PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURRING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES
EXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE
HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.

A HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING MEANS VERY STEEP AND HAZARDOUS SEA
CONDITIONS ARE IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. RECREATIONAL BOATERS SHOULD
REMAIN IN PORT, OR TAKE SHELTER UNTIL WAVES SUBSIDE.  COMMERCIAL
VESSELS SHOULD PREPARE FOR ROUGH SEAS AND CONSIDER REMAINING IN
PORT OR TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL HAZARDOUS SEAS SUBSIDE.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
317 PM PDT Tue Aug 15 2017

...Updated Aviation Discussion...

.DISCUSSION...The ridge continues to build and drive temperatures up and
humidities down. A weak embedded trough is supporting cumulus
development over the east side, particularly in Modoc and Lake
Counties, but the weak instability will insufficient to trigger any
showers. This trough will exit the area tonight, and the ridge will
continue to strengthen through late this week. There is a thermal
trough along the coast, which should bring strong gusty winds this
evening into tonight. Offshore winds have already been
observed at several RAWS in the southern coastal
mountains, and expect offshore flow to strengthen tonight into
tomorrow morning. These winds combined with low relative humidities
will bring the potential for critical fire weather conditions.

Conditions tomorrow will be similar and Thursday will be similar
to today, with patchy coastal fog in the morning burning off by
late morning, and slightly warmer temperatures than today.
Brookings will see a more significant change, as the Chetco effect
should bring temperatures at least to the mid 80s tomorrow and
Thursday. Smoke will probably be somewhat thicker tomorrow and
Thursday given the strengthening ridge inhibiting mixing. In
general over the next several days, expect less smoke in the
mornings and then increased smoke later in the day as fire
activity increases. This will of course have to be evaluated and
adjusted day to day based on fire activity.

Friday, the ridge will begin to flatten as a broad upper trough
approaches British Columbia. The ridge should still be the dominant
driver of the weather here, so expect another warm day inland with
morning patchy fog along the coast. Models are hinting at some weak
instability and moisture advection in extreme northeast California
Friday and Saturday, so expect some building cumulus, but it's
unlikely there will be any precip or lightning out of those.

Saturday through Monday...The ridge offshore will strengthen, while
a couple shortwaves move down towards the coast.
The first of these shortwaves is expected to move towards the
northern and north-central California coast Saturday evening then
further south Sunday. Confidence in the forecast for this time
period is low due to model variance, but the current expectation is
possible showers and thunderstorms over the east side Sunday and
Monday as several shortwaves rotate around the parent low. However,
the strength and track of this low have had low run to run model
consistency, so stay tuned for forecast updates. -MSC

.AVIATION...16/00Z TAF CYCLE...VFR will continue
overnight for inland locations. Meanwhile, VFR is occurring at the
coast and several miles offshore. IFR cigs will return tonight
mainly north of Cape Blanco late tonight. The TAF at North Bend
shows lowering conditions at 11z, but confidence on the tining is
medium and it could develop sooner. Also at the coast and offshore,
gusty north winds are expected tomorrow afternoon. -Schaaf

&&

.MARINE...Updated 300 PM PDT Tuesday 15 August 2017...High pressure
centered offshore and a thermal trough along the coast will continue
moderate to strong north winds with steep to very steep seas into
Friday and possibly through the weekend. The strongest winds are
expected south of Gold Beach beyond 5 NM from shore with occasional
gale force gusts possible this evening then gales developing on
Wednesday afternoon. A moderate northwest swell of around 3 to 5
feet will accompany the wind dominated seas. There is uncertainty in
which day will have the strongest winds. Winds may peak on Thursday,
or continue trending higher through the weekend. But, the day to day
differences will likely be relatively small with seas remaining
hazardous. -DW

.FIRE WEATHER...Updated 230 PM Tuesday 15 August 2017...
The latest surface analysis shows the thermal trough starting to
take shape along the coast. This will continue to strengthen across
southwest Oregon this evening through at least Thursday. The models
hint the thermal trough could remain a play maker through the weekend
with continued gusty northeast winds and moderate to poor
recoveries. Have upgraded the Fire Weather Watch to a Red Flag
Warning due to expected gusty northeast winds and poor humidity
recoveries tonight into Wednesday morning for fire zone 619. Given
conditions could be similar Wednesday night into Thursday morning,
we also decided to issue a Fire Weather Watch for fire zone 619.
Please see RFWMFR for more details. Right now we think elevations
above 2000 feet are at highest risk of reaching the wind/relative
humidity/duration criteria. At this time, the Red Flag Warning and
Fire Weather Watch does not include the Chetco Fire because relative
humidities are expected to be higher, but we'll let the evening
shift take another look at this. So it's possible they could be
included in tonight's warning and the watch Wednesday night.

It should be noted that all mid slope/ridge locations in fire
weather zones 618,619,620 in Oregon and 280 in California will have
a period of gusty northeast winds during this time frame along with
poor to moderate recoveries, but locations above 2000 feet in zone
619 have the highest risk of attaining the wind/relative
humidity/duration criteria. This is a critical fire weather pattern,
especially since there are numerous active wildfires in the region.
The rapid drying combined with the gusty winds could enhance the
risk of spread of existing fires and also perhaps awaken some
"sleeper" fires. We don't usually see two nights of gusty winds/poor
relative humidity, but the models are indicating we could experience
similar conditions during the late evening into the morning hours
through the weekend. This will be monitored closely and additional
watches or warnings may be needed.

It'll remain dry through next weekend. Temperatures will heat up
with values 5 to 10 degrees above average Wednesday through Friday
for most inland locations. Coastal areas will be comparatively
cooler, but a Chetco Effect is possible each day through Thursday
near Brookings. The risk of thunderstorms is nil through Friday.

The models hint at some cooling this weekend, but it won't be that
noticeable, only dropping a couple of degrees on average for inland
locations. There is no threat for thunderstorms at this time.
