Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
815 PM PDT Thu Apr 20 2017

.UPDATE...Showers continue this evening, mainly along the Cascades
near and north of Crater Lake. These should fade out this evening,
then dry conditions will prevail as high pressure builds in
overhead. Fog is possible in the West Side valleys by early
morning, but this should burn off quickly in the morning if it
forms. Then with clear skies and strong high pressure, Friday is
set up to be the warmest day of the season so far.

For more information and the rest of the forecast, see the
previous discussion below. -BPN

&&

.AVIATION...21/00Z TAF CYCLE...Scattered showers will continue
through early this evening, with best chances of shower activity
along and west of the Southern Oregon Cascades, then will clear.
Cigs are expected remain VFR at all TAF sites this evening and
tonight.  Partial terrain obscuration will continue through the
evening as clouds linger. Though unusual for this time of year
patchy valley fog may lower conditions to MVFR early Friday morning
as a ridge builds into the area. Confidence is low, as fog
development will depend on cloud cover... a high cloud deck could
prevent surface temps from dropping enough. Models and guidance
currently support patchy fog and MVFR at KRBG and KLMT with lesser
chances at KMFR. Expect VFR areawide around 16z Friday, continuing
through the afternoon. -CC

&&

.MARINE...Updated 800 PM PDT Thursday, 20 April 2017...Steep swell
dominated seas will gradually lower tonight. A front will bring
building seas and gusty south winds on Saturday, likely reaching
small craft advisory levels into Saturday night.  Model forecasts
are in good agreement showing an active pattern Sunday night through
all of next week with several fronts moving across the area. Small
craft advisory levels winds and seas are likely with these fronts.
With this active storm track, models and guidance support building
westerly swell to around 12 to 13 feet by Wednesday. -CC/BPN

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 303 PM PDT Thu Apr 20 2017/

DISCUSSION...Short term, until Monday. Models are in very good
agreement through the short term. Showers continue to taper off
this evening as an upper level low continues to build over the
Pacific Northwest. By Friday a thermal trough deepens along the
southern coast, with offshore flow preceding across the east side
by sunrise. This drying and warming offshore flow will bring a
rapid warm-up across the region, with the highs friday more than
ten degrees warmer than today's highs over most of the region. The
thermal trough moves inland Friday afternoon, contributing to the
inland warm-up. The offshore floor overnight into Friday morning
should bump up the overnight low and tomorrows highs on the
extreme southern coast, but with the short duration and light to
moderate strength of the flow have not gone "full Chetco" with the
temps.

The upper level ridge shifts east Saturday southerly flow returns.
However, this southerly flow will not be prolonged and strong
enough to bring much moisture into the region ahead of the front,
which will already be hampered by being slammed into the upper
level ridge just to the east of the forecast area, and the bulk of
the light precip will be confined to the coast with only a little
bit spilling over to the east side.

The upper ridge moves east and a progressive zonal flow pattern
returns an active pattern and the sogginess that we have all come
to love for the past many, many months. Sven

Long Term...Monday through Thursday... A wet pattern will continue
in the extended. A 140kt jet streak will nose into the area Monday
pushing a cold front onshore, bringing precipitation to the
coast...then spreading inland towards eastern Lake and Modoc
Counties Monday afternoon. Snow levels will be above 5500 feet.
Showers are expected behind the front Monday night. A stronger
system will move into the area Tuesday, bringing another wave of
precip Tuesday into Wednesday, with snow levels above mainly above
6500 feet. Gusty winds over the east side are possible Tuesday
night, ahead of the low. Wednesday night through Friday should
feature scattered postfrontal showers. Snow levels will drop down to
4500 to 5500 feet, but since this should be after the bulk of
precipitation, do not expect significant snow impacts. -MSC
