Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
906 AM PDT Sat Oct 7 2017

.DISCUSSION...An update will be issued shortly to increase
cloud cover this afternoon through Sunday morning. These clouds
and isolated to scattered showers will be mainly from Coos,
Douglas, and northern Klamath County as a cold front tracks
southward through the area.

A focus for the afternoon package will be on the strength of ridge
top easterly winds that will develop tonight and become stronger
on Sunday night. Also, any adjustments related to the strength of
the next couple of frontal systems: late Tuesday into Wednesday
then a stronger cold front and post- frontal showers Thursday
through Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...07/12Z TAF CYCLE...IFR/MVFR conditions with some drizzle
and light rain showers are expected through this morning along the
coast and in western Douglas county with conditions clearing to VFR
around 17-18z. Elsewhere inland, VFR conditions prevail except along
the Oregon California border with smoke pouring out of the Abney
fire. Other than the smoke from active wildfires, we'll see onshore
winds with plenty of moisture pushing up along the coastal range
today. Areas of mountain obscurations are expected along the coast,
coastal range and into the Umpqua Valley. Partial mountain
obscurations are expected in the Southern Oregon Cascades this
morning as well. -CC

&&

.MARINE...Updated 300 AM PDT Saturday 7 October 2017...Small craft
conditions will develop this evening into tonight then expect steep
to very steep seas possible by Sunday evening as a chaotic mix of
northwest swell and north wind seas develop.

Today, a weak front will move over northern portions of the waters
this morning then inland later today. Gusty north winds will develop
again this evening with an area of small craft conditions expected
from Cape Ferrelo south.

Tonight, cooler air and higher pressure will move into the the area,
while a thermal trough remains near the northern California coast.
The surface pressure gradients will tighten significantly between
these two features, and this will bring stronger north winds to our
waters on Sunday. Meanwhile, northwest swell of 10 to 13 feet at 14
seconds will build into the waters tonight, resulting in steep seas
affecting all the waters.

As the thermal trough  strengthens along the coast late Sunday
afternoon and evening, winds will increase over the waters. Gales are
possible late Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening over the southern
waters. A gale watch is up for the area south of Gold Beach and west
of buoy 27 late Sunday afternoon and evening. A combination of steep
to very steep seas is possible late Sunday afternoon through Sunday
evening as northwest swell of 10 to 13 feet at 14 seconds remains in
place and combines with building steep to very steep wind seas.
Combined swell and wind seas may result in chaotic and hazardous sea
conditions in some areas. There will be enhanced danger in the area
where these swells and wind waves overlap. That will likely occur in
the gale area.

Steep seas will remain over the waters Sunday night into early
Tuesday morning and small craft advisory wind will continue for
areas beyond 10 nm from shore. Winds and seas will gradually
diminish Monday night into Tuesday morning. However, areas of small
craft conditions may linger into Tuesday and Wednesday. -CC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Updated 645 AM PDT Saturday, 07 October 2017...
A cold front will move southward through the area today. This will
increase mainly upper slope and ridge westerly winds this morning,
and  northwest winds will mix down to the valleys Saturday afternoon
and evening. Precipitation (showers) will be mainly confined to
areas mainly north of the Umpqua Divide. Afternoon high temperatures
will be about 5-10 degrees cooler than yesterday's, and humidity
will be up a bit.

A short wave trough will swing through tonight into Sunday, so it
will remain cool (5-15 degrees of additional cooling expected east
of the Cascades). Gusty north to northeast winds will develop in
most areas during the afternoon/evening.

A thermal trough in northern California extending into SW Oregon
Sunday night into Monday will bring moderate to locally strong east
to northeast winds on the upper slopes and ridges. RH recovery will
be moderate to good, so despite strong wind gusts (30-40 mph) over
the ridges, we'll fall mostly short of combined Wind/RH criteria for
a fire weather watch or red flag warning. Also, fire danger is
mainly moderate and these products are issued when fire danger is
high or drier. Therefore, have opted to headline the strong winds in
the Fire Weather Planning forecast.  Winds are likely to mix into
some valley areas Monday morning. Winds should die down Monday
afternoon through Tuesday morning.

Models are showing another trough pushing through the area Tuesday
into Tuesday night with some showers again, this time a little
further southward. Expect west to northwest breezes to pick up again
in the afternoon/evening. There could be another period of northeast
to east winds Tuesday night through Wednesday night, especially over
the upper slopes/ridges from Cascades south and west, but probably
not as strong as Sunday night/Monday.

Late next week, long range guidance is indicating a trough deepening
southward from the Gulf of Alaska Thursday and into the Pacific
Northwest Friday through the weekend. This could bring wetting
rainfall to some areas, especially north of the CA/OR border.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 655 AM PDT Sat Oct 7 2017/

DISCUSSION...
The weather will become more changeable in both time and space
beginning today as a disorganized cold front moves southward
through the forecast area. This front is evident on infrared
satellite imagery this morning as a fairly thin band of high
clouds stretching from near Crescent City, CA northeastward to
Medford and then east to near Lakeview. Lower clouds are lagging
behind this higher reflection of the frontal boundary, mainly from
the Crater Lake National Park, Umpqua Divide, and Port Orford
areas northward. High temperatures today are expected to be 5 to
10 degrees cooler than they were Friday afternoon, and west to
northwest winds will become breezy to locally windy this afternoon
and evening. Showers are also expected to spread inland behind
the front, and 0.01" has already been observed at the faithfully
frequent precipitation measuring site, Charlotte Ridge in the
last hour. Isolated to scattered showers are expected today
through this evening from about Gold Beach, the Umpqua Divide, and
Crater Lake NP northward, possibly reaching to around Chemult and
Crescent.

Tonight through Sunday morning a jet streak will dive
southeastward through the western portion of the upper level
trough digging into the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies.
This will bring a possibility of showers south to about the
Siskiyous. Snow levels are expected to fall to between 5000 and
6000 feet MSL in the Oregon Cascades with these showers. While
precipitation amounts will be generally a tenth of an inch or
less, flakes are likely to fly from about Brown Mountain northward,
with around an inch of snowfall expected at some locations from
Diamond Peak northward to Willamette Pass. High temperatures
Sunday are likely to fall another 10 to 15 degrees east of the
Cascades.

Sunday through Monday will be blustery, as northerly winds become
breezy again in the valleys and windy in the mountains. Sunday
through Monday morning hurricane force winds are expected on the
summit plateau of Mount Shasta. Across the upper slopes and ridges
sustained winds are likely to reach 20 to 30 mph with gusts 30 to
40 mph at many locations, especially those that experience wind
enhancement under an east to west flow. The trajectory of these
east winds is such that they will surface in some valleys Monday
morning. One place these winds are likely to surface some is in
the Rogue Valley in and near Ashland. The resultant effect of
this is expected to be lesser cooling Monday morning followed by a
downslope wind enhanced warm-up Monday afternoon. Monday
afternoon highs in the Rogue Valley are expected to rebound to a
comfortable 70 to 80 degrees.

Tuesday through Wednesday onshore flow is expected to return, with
more showers possible, mainly from the Siskiyous and Oregon
Cascades westward, as another weak frontal system moves through
from the northwest.

Thursday through Friday a couple of shortwave troughs will move
through the flow as a very cold upper level trough moves overhead.
500MB temperatures are expected to fall to about -30C over the
area Friday. This will help to drive snow levels down to near
5,000 feet Friday. Wetting precipitation is a realistic
possibility with this upper level trough Thursday through Friday,
mainly from the Oregon Cascades and Yreka westward. Measurable
mountain snow is also expected. BTL
