Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
801 PM PDT Mon Apr 3 2017

.UPDATE...Some higher to mid level clouds have filled in over the
forecast area this afternoon and evening, prompting an update to
the forecast to increase cloud coverage, but little else. The
remainder of the forecast this evening looks to be on track. For
more information and the rest of the forecast, see the previous
discussion below. -BPN

&&

.AVIATION...03/00Z TAF CYCLE...The forecast area remains under high
pressure and a dry air mass. Conditions are expected to remain VFR
through Tuesday afternoon. Some mid level clouds will move into the
coast and Umpqua Basin late tonight and Tuesday morning as a warm
front brushes past to the north. This may result in some partial
terrain obscurations. -CC

&&

.MARINE...Updated 730 PM PDT Monday 3 April 2017...Small craft
advisory level winds and seas will continue for areas south of Cape
Blanco through late this evening. Conditions will improve tonight
into Tuesday as high pressure builds inland. The pattern will change
beginning Tuesday night with increasing winds and seas ahead of a
slow moving front on Wednesday. Conditions are likely to become
hazardous to small craft in the outer waters late Tuesday night then
become hazardous to small craft across all the waters on Wednesday.
High and steep seas and periods of strong southerly winds are likely
to persist into Thursday. A stronger front is expected to move into
the waters on Friday. Models show variability on the details of this
front but overall, indicate that gales are possible along with high
and very steep seas. Seas on Friday may become very steep and
chaotic, rising to 13 to 15 feet due to a mix of building south
winds waves and fresh south swell as well as a lingering west swell.
Additional fronts are likely to continue to bring periods of
increased southerly winds and high seas through the weekend. -CC

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 252 PM PDT Mon Apr 3 2017/

SHORT TERM...Ridge of high pressure will move into the West Coast
Tuesday, and will lead to a warm and dry day, albeit with plenty
of thin cirrus clouds overhead. High temperatures in the Rogue
Valley could be in the lower 70s, especially with a pocket of warm
air at 850mb extending from southern Jackson County through the
Shasta Valley.

The ridge will shift into Idaho Wednesday while the upstream front
spreads rain into the coastal waters. Light rain could spread into
the coastal waters by Wednesday evening. The front is expected to
spread rain into the Cascades Wednesday night and possible into
the Klamath Basin.

The front is expected to stall just west of the coastal waters
with a low pressure forming along the front on Wednesday night.
The low is expected to occlude and the occluded front is expected
to move into SW Oregon and western Siskiyou County Thursday. The
slow moving nature of this system will result in moderate rain for
southern Oregon coastal range and western Siskiyou County. Around
2 to 2.5 inches of rain are forecast for Thursday and Friday for
southern Curry and Josephine Counties, western Siskiyou County and
the Mount Shasta area, with the snow levels lowering to around
6000 feet Thursday then around 5000 feet Friday. This will set the
stage for a wet weekend. /FB

LONG TERM (Friday through Monday)...The long-term starts with a
strong storm offshore sending moderate to heavy precipitation
into the forecast area. Strong southerly flow will focus the
heaviest rain and mountain snow over Northern California and
Extreme Southwestern Oregon. Models have trended higher with
moisture amounts for Friday, with the GEFS showing Integrated
Vapor Transport values in the top 1 to 5 percent for this time of
year, so an anomalously wet system is expected. Snow levels will
initially be 5000 feet Friday morning then drop to 4000 feet
Friday afternoon and overnight. Precipitation will be more showery
on Saturday but snow levels will be at 3500 to 4000 feet. Steady
rain is not currently expected at the outdoor activities at the
Pear Blossom event in Medford, but off and on cold rain showers
are a good possibility.

At this point Sunday night into Monday morning features the highest
likelihood for significant winter weather travel impacts to mountain
passes. Another cold low dives into the forecast area from the
northwest late Sunday.  Snow levels Sunday night will be between
3000 and 3500 feet, and there is pretty good model agreement on this
aspect of the forecast. Granted, this is still 6 days out, so a lot
can change, but stay tuned to the forecast if you plan on traveling
over the passes this weekend.
