Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
858 PM PST Fri Dec 14 2018
.DISCUSSION...The front that brought all the excitement today is
now off to our east, but showers have been slower to diminish than
expected. We're in the process of doing an update to raise pops
for this evening, but there is clearing immediately offshore, and
all guidance shows showers ending for most of us by midnight.
Travelers should note that snow levels have dropped, and it's
snowing in the Cascades. We don't think we'll see enough snow to
warrant an advisory, but if you're heading across the mountains
tonight, expect slippery conditions.
Once precipitation ends tonight, we'll see a break between
storms through much of tomorrow. However, the next front is
already approaching 140W this evening and is on tap for Sunday.
This front looks similar to what we saw today, except a little
slower, wetter, and probably just a notch weaker with the winds.
Now that the previous round of wind warnings and advisories has
expired, we'll work on getting the next set going for Sunday.
After a first glance at the 00Z models, it seems like we'll need
roughly the same wind headlines for Sunday that we had today:
high wind warnings at the coast, Shasta Valley, and east side and
wind advisories elsewhere. -Wright
&&
.AVIATION...For the 15/00Z TAFs...The front continues to move
through the region tonight and showers are developing in it's wake.
East of the Cascades, look for snow showers reducing visibilities
down to 2 miles, so temporary IFR remains possible this evening.
West of the Cascades, we'll see rain showers continue for the
evening before conditions clear up tonight. Mist and fog remains a
possibility tonight in some of the valleys. There are a lot of
clouds lingering tonight, so that should inhibit the potential for
fog. The air mass aloft is also quite cold, so that should help us
stay mixed before an inversion sets in tonight. Overall, just a
slight chance for fog formation tonight.
-Smith

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 237 PM PST Fri Dec 14 2018/
DISCUSSION...An unusually strong and sharply defined front is
making its way across the area, and as of this writing is just
beginning to pass over the Cascade crest. Strong winds will
continue to accompany this front as it passes through the East
Side this afternoon and evening, and High Wind Warnings and
Advisories remain in effect. Snow levels behind the front have
dropped considerably, down to just below 4000 feet, but
precipitation rates will also decrease. Therefore, snow is likely
to fall at many of the Cascade passes, as well as at Siskiyou
Summit, but we only expect to see a few inches to fall over the
next several hours, and no major impacts are expected.
Showers will continue this evening, then dissipate overnight as
high pressure briefly passes overhead. The exception will be the
south slopes of Mount Shasta, including Mount Shasta City and the
McCloud area, where upslope winds will continue to produce rain
and snow showers throughout the day.
The wet and windy pattern will continue, as we will begin to see
the effects of the next system by tomorrow evening. Gusty winds
return during the late afternoon, and precipitation should start
to make its way onshore in the evening and overnight.
Precipitation amounts should be higher than the previous, as this
front will be traveling slower and is expected to have much more
in the way of moisture. Snow levels will rise quickly to above
6000 feet by tomorrow evening, and will remain high until Sunday
evening, when the front passes and precipitation begins to taper
off. As a result, there is no threat expected from snow on any of
the area passes. Showers will continue into Monday as moist
onshore flow persists, and precipitation will never really leave
the area before the next front arrives Tuesday.
The Tuesday system is not expected to have the upper level support
of the previous events, but should still produce a fairly good
amount of precipitation, especially along the coast and the
Cascades, where the prevailing flow will be nearly perpendicular
to the terrain.
Models have trended a bit drier with the forecast from this point
on, with the preferred storm tack pushing north as upper level
ridging edges into California and builds north into southern
Oregon by midweek. There may be another front arriving late in the
week or early next weekend, but models are producing a wide array
of solutions, so confidence remains low. Have trended the
forecast towards a blend of the latest GFS and ECMWF, but expect
this will change as we head through the next several forecast
cycles. -BPN
MARINE...Updated 200 PM PST Friday 14 December 2018...The front
has moved onshore and winds have shifted southwest and are slowly
diminishing. Despite that, moderate to strong winds are still
expected through this evening. The most recent satellite hint a
surface low that developed along the front as it moved towards the
coast. This caused winds to ramp up fairly quickly earlier this
afternoon. Seas will remain hazardous through tonight. Seas will
improve for a brief time Saturday, but will come up again late
Saturday afternoon.
Improvement on Saturday morning will be slight and brief. Given the
brief break in the action, decided to keep the Hazardous Seas
Warning going through Saturday afternoon.
Another strong front will likely bring gales Saturday evening
through Sunday afternoon, and another swell train may bring the
highest seas of the season so far Sunday into Sunday night.
Confidence on gales is high, so went ahead and issued a gale warning
for all of the marine waters. Please see MWWMFR for more details.
After another brief break Sunday night into Monday morning, yet
another front will bring increasing south winds which could approach
gales late Monday afternoon and lasting through at least Tuesday
afternoon. Also high to very high seas are likely.
Multiple fronts are expected the rest of next week although there is
some consensus among the models that the storm track will shift
north of the waters. At the very least, we could still be dealing
with winds that will be at least small craft conditions. -Petrucelli
