PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ALONG WITH VERY
STEEP AND HAZARDOUS SEAS ARE IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. OPERATING A

THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE
CONDITIONS.

A STORM WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 48 TO 63 KNOTS ALONG WITH
EXTREMELY STEEP AND DANGEROUS SEAS ARE IMMINENT OR OCCURRING.
RECREATIONAL BOATERS SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT...OR TAKE SHELTER
UNTIL WINDS AND WAVES SUBSIDE. COMMERCIAL VESSELS SHOULD PREPARE
FOR VERY STRONG WINDS AND DANGEROUS SEA CONDITIONS AND CONSIDER
REMAINING IN PORT OR TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL WINDS AND WAVES
SUBSIDE.

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.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES WILL
BE STEEP ENOUGH TO CREATE A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO SMALLER VESSELS
AND INEXPERIENCED MARINERS.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
255 PM PST Mon Jan 16 2017

.DISCUSSION...

.Short Term...Tonight through Wednesday Night...Over the weekend,
we have watched the coming midweek system transform from a long
duration heavy rain event into a shorter duration wind and rain
event with heavy snow along the Cascade crest and in the Mount
Shasta area. With the change in expected liquid precipitation,
roughly cut in half from just 3 or 4 days ago, hydrological
concerns have diminished greatly, and the current forecast does
not produce floods along any river within the forecast area. That
is not to say some local high water is not possible, but
widepsread issues are no longer expected. Instead, will be
focusing on snow and wind during the storm, and numerous headlines
have been issued this afternoon.

First, the winds. Forecast pressure gradients on the order of -10
millibars between Arcata and North Bend suggest high winds are
likely along the coast as the front moves ashore Tuesday afternoon
into Wednesday morning. Low level wind forecasts in the GFS and
NAM suites support this, with up to 70 kt winds at 925 mb right
along the coastline. With high confidence, have upgraded the
watch there to a warning. Gradient values between Medford and
Redding also approach -10 millibars, and with strong 700 mb winds
aligned from the south, high winds are likely to develop in the
Shasta Valley and across the East Side as well. While not
perfectly aligned, these parameters would also suggest gusty
winds in the Ashland area. Have issued High Wind Warnings and Wind
Advisories for these areas as well. One bonus is that these winds
will easily scour out the valley air, and bring an end to the
stagnant air issues across the area.

Next, rain and flooding potential. While models are not producing
near the amount of rain as they did just a few days ago, forecast
moisture plumes indicate that plenty of rain will still fall
across the region. Have trended forecast precipitaion higher than
the models, especially along the Curry county coast, but the
higher amounts are still not enough to produce flooding in any of
our area river forecasts. There remains a great deal of
uncertainty regarding the snowpack, namely in the Illinois and
Klamath valleys, and in some of the smaller valleys of the Rogue
and Applegate drainages. There are few snow measurements taken
that are representative of these areas, and the amount of water
content and melt are hard to gauge. With periods of heavy rainfall
rates, and given only estimated snowmelt contribution, rapid rises
and strong flows are likely in area rivers, and it is possible
that some may reach flood. Many smaller creeks and streams could
easily top their banks as well. Have kept a flood outlook
statement in place, but widespread flooding is not expected.

Finally, snow. Snow levels will be above 8000 feet as the event
begins Tuesday, but will fall to just below 5000 feet by the time
precipitation tapers off Wednesday evening. However, in Northern
California, snow levels could drop further, namely down to about
3000 feet in the Mount Shasta area. This results in up to a foot
along Interstate 5 in Mount Shasta City and in the higher terrain
of Western Siskiyou county, and up to 2 feet possible at Snowman
Summit along highway 89. Models rarely handle this type of event
well, and as the snow level forecast has changed drastically over
the past few shifts, confidence is not high. Have issued a Winter
Storm Watch for Siskiyou county to illustrate the potential, but
will let later shifts make the final decision on Warning
potential. Meanwhile, several inches of snow are possible over
the Cascade Passes in Oregon, but few additional impacts are
expected.

Wind and precipitaion will taper off through Wednesday night, but
more systems are on tap in the extended. -BPN

.EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION...Thursday through Sunday.

The EC/GFS/DGEX operational solutions are in fairly good agreement
through most of the extended period, with some differences showing
up toward the end of the period. A fairly fast progressive pattern
will prevail throughout. It will remain relatively wet over the
Medford CWA with periods of gusty winds.

A long wave trough will move onshore along the west coast Thursday
morning. This will be followed by a brief period of short wave
ridging into Thursday night, which will then be followed by a long
wave trough moving onshore Friday.

Post-frontal showers will gradually diminish Thursday, then the
upstream upper trough will push a surface cold front onshore
Thursday night into Friday morning.  This front will not be
particularly wet and windy, but the south coast, south Coast Range,
and western Siskiyou county will get a significant amount of
precipitation out of this system.

Post-frontal showers will continue into Friday night, when a weaker
secondary front will move onshore. The bigger concern during this
time frame will be heavy surf.  Current guidance suggests that wave
fronts may approach 40 feet as very heavy long period swell moves
into the waters. Waves like this will run way up beaches and some
coastal infrastructures may be threatened.

A broad flat ridge will build into the west coast Saturday, followed
by another trough on Sunday. The next front will move onshore
Saturday night, and once again the heaviest precipitation will occur
along the south coast, south Coast Range, and western Siskiyou
county. Post frontal showers will then persist through Sunday night.

Finally, the long wave trough will move onshore Monday.  Post-
frontal showers will continue through Monday. -JRS

.AVIATION...16/18Z TAF CYCLE...Conditions over the next 24 hours
are expected to be very similar those observed in the past 24
hours, except for increasing high and middle levels clouds and,
along the coast, lower clouds and rain.

Areas of IFR/LIFR cigs/vsbys in low clouds and freezing fog over the
west side valleys will mostly clear to VFR this afternoon, then the
lower conditions will return to the same areas this evening through
Tuesday morning. The Roseburg and Grants Pass areas may not
completely clear this afternoon. KRBG and KMFR will be affected by
the lower conditions. Areas of MVFR cigs in low clouds and rain will
develop along the coast Tuesday morning. Over the remainder of the
area, VFR conditions will prevail through Tuesday morning.

&&

.MARINE...Updated 830 AM PST Monday 16 January 2017...Seas will
briefly diminish today, but south winds will increase tonight as the
first in a series of strong fronts approaches. Gales are likely
Tuesday afternoon/evening through Wednesday and seas are likely to
peak in the 18 to 28 foot range. A period of storms force winds is
possible due to the formation of a low level coastal jet stream
Wednesday. West swell late in the week could reach or exceed 25
feet. Over several runs, the models continue to trend higher with
the swell Thursday into Friday, but the latest run lowered the peak
swell from 33 feet to 28 feet at buoy 15. Expect some more ups and
downs in future runs, but it still looks to be a very heavy swell
event.  It all depends on the strength of Gulf of Alaska storms
during the coming week.
