Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
248 PM PST Mon Nov 20 2017

.SHORT TERM...Satellite and radar observations show a very rich
moisture plume aimed at the southern Oregon and northern
California coast. The bulk of the precipitation is focused along
the northern California coast at the moment, but this plume will
gradually shift northward later this afternoon and into the
evening. So, while most of the area is in a relative lull in
precipitation activity, this won't last long. Precipitation rates
will increase in the next few hours. 2 to 3 inches have already
fallen along the Curry County coast with Red Mound reporting
4.71 inches (as of this writing) since around 5 pm PST Sunday! An
inch to an inch and a half with local reports of up to 2 inches
has fallen throughout Josephine County. The majority of the area
west of the Cascades is generally reporting around a half an inch
to an inch with less than half an inch falling east of the
Cascades. Another 2 to 3 inches is expected along the Curry
Coastal Mountains...half an inch to an inch expected elsewhere
west of the Cascades...and another quarter of an inch east of the
Cascades through early Tuesday morning. A flash flood watch
remains in effect for the Chetco Bar wildfire burn scar.
Precipitation rates should diminish after 10 pm, so we have
adjusted the timing to account for this. See PDXFFAMFR for more
details.

Wind advisories continue this afternoon for the Shasta Valley and
east of the Cascades around Summer Lake and the higher terrain of
Lake and Modoc counties. Winds are still gusting to 50 mph east of
the Cascades and up to 40 mph in the Shasta Valley so the advisories
will continue through late tonight. Winds will continue to be gusty
in the Shasta Valley so the wind advisory has been extended through
late Tuesday night. East of the Cascades, in the Summer Lake area,
there will be enough of a break in the wind, so the advisory there
will go through tonight and then pick back up late Tuesday morning.
See PDXNPWMFR for more details on this.

By Tuesday, the ridge centered just to the east amplifies and the
focus of the moisture will be north of the area. Rain will taper off
by the afternoon for most of the area. The exception will be along
the coast where southwest flow will keep the moisture flowing into
the Coastal Mountains. Upslope flow will maintain rain for these
areas through Wednesday evening while the rest of the area should
remain mostly dry. A few short waves embedded in the southwest flow
may enhance precipitation further inland at times through Wednesday
night. As for snow levels, the amplifying ridge will push them up to
around 10,000 feet, keeping them high through Thanksgiving morning.

Thanksgiving Day will start off dry for much of the area away from
the coast, with a front gradually moving inland as the day
progresses. This front isn't a strong one so rain amounts will be
relatively light and snow levels will only lower to around 6,000 to
7,000 feet by early Friday morning. So we still aren't looking at
any major snow impacts through the short term. /BR-y

.LONG TERM...Friday through Monday...An upper ridge will strengthen
over the area Friday, then a couple strong fronts will impact the
area Saturday through Monday. The fronts Saturday through early
Monday may bring rain and possible strong winds followed by lowering
snow levels and showers late Monday.

Friday, as a ridge builds over the region, a short period of drier
weather with only light isolated to scattered showers is possible on
Friday. Also areas of morning valley fog are likely on Friday.

Models continue to show a warm front moving up from the southwest
and into the area Friday night into Saturday morning, followed by a
potentially strong cold front moving into the coast late Saturday.
Rain and elevated snow levels of 8000 feet or higher are expected
with the warm front. Then as the cold front moves towards the coast,
expect additional light to moderate rain to move into the area.
Models continue to show differences in the strength of this system.
However the ECMWF has trended closer to the GFS showing a low moving
along the Oregon coast.  Depending on the strength and track of the
low as it moves up from the southwest, strong south winds are
possible ahead of this front Saturday afternoon into Saturday night.
The potential for strong winds greatest in the Shasta Valley, Summer
Lake area and over the higher mountains. The shortwave low is
forecast to track north Saturday night with a cold front remaining
along the coast. This front will gradually move inland Sunday.

Another strong and moist front is possible Sunday night into Monday.
The front on Monday will also bring the potential for strong winds
over the area, especially in the Shasta Valley and from the Cascades
east. Models indicate this front will move inland Monday with
falling snow levels and continued showers. Snow levels are forecast
to lower down to around 4000 feet by Monday evening as the front
moves east and an upper trough moves across the area. The lower snow
levels with showers may result in light to moderate snow over the
higher terrain above 4000 feet. -CC

&&

.AVIATION...20/18Z TAF CYCLE...The main concern will be the chance
for wind speed and directional shear for Roseburg and Medford.
Confidence is not as high for wind speed and directional shear to be
met in Medford, but it will be a close call, therefore we'll leave
it in the TAF. Later shifts will need to take another look at this.

At the coast...CIGS could vary from MVFR to IFR for the next couple
of hours, but MVFR should be the predominate condition into this
evening. CIGS will then lower to IFR later this evening into Tuesday
morning.

Inland westside...VFR conditions are expected into early this
evening, but could not rule out brief MVFR cigs. Mountain
obscurations are a good bet however into this evening. MVFR with
local IFR are possible later this evening. Guidance suggest CIGS
could improve to VFR later tonight into Tuesday morning as the main
surge of moisture lifts northward. Confidence is higher for
improving CIGS in Medford. There's also a chance stronger winds
could surface near or at the Medford Airport early Tuesday morning.
For now trended the winds higher late tonight, but further
adjustments may be needed.

Eastside...VFR conditions will continue through this afternoon,
followed by MVFR CIGS this evening and tonight. CIGS are then
expected to improve to VFR early Tuesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...Updated 100 PM PST Monday 20 November 2017...Winds are
expected to decrease for a brief time into this evening. Another
strong front will move into the waters late tonight with south winds
increasing again to gales over most of the waters. There is general
agreement that we'll have a slight offshore component, therefore
winds closer to shore are not expected to be as strong, but will
still be small craft advisory level. Moderate to strong south winds
will continue through Wednesday, but they should gradually decrease
during the day Wednesday. Conditions should improve some late in the
week as the windy pattern subsides some.

The models hint at a long period northwest swell up to 12 feet into
the coastal waters late Saturday night. -Petrucelli
