What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Medford, OR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at May 25, 2:30 AM PDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
230 AM PDT Fri May 25 2018

.DISCUSSION...25/00Z NAM/GFS/EC in.

Showers persist this morning with a few thunderstorms east of the
Cascades. The 25/00Z KMFR sounding had a precipitable water value
of 1.05 inches. Pretty wet for any time of year.

A cutoff low off the California coast is inducing south to
southeast flow over the area with the Medford CWA under the
deformation zone aloft. This combined with short waves rotating
around the low is supporting the current convection.

The low will move slowly east, moving onshore around noon Friday
and into Nevada Saturday. As it does so, the most favored area for
convection will also move east. Expect plenty of showers Friday
over the inland areas, but thunderstorm activity will be east of
the Cascades and possibly over Siskiyou county, which will be
closer to the low. Model lifted indices support this scenario.

Friday highs inland will be 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the
Thursday highs under mostly cloudy skies.

By Saturday, the low will be far enough east for the flow aloft to
shift to northerly as a ridge builds in from the west. This will
bring the precipitation to an end west of the Cascades. Models
still show significant activity east of the Cascades, but lifted
indices indicate that these will be showers, not thunderstorms.
Those showers will dissipate by Saturday night.

Saturday highs will be warmer...near normal west of the Cascades
and 5 to 10 degrees below normal to the east.

Low level easterly flow will develop Saturday night and this will
clear out the west side Saturday night into Sunday night. Inland high
temperatures will warm back up to around 5 degrees above normal. It
will be quite warm at Brookings with highs in the middle 70s. West
side highs will be 5-10 degrees above normal and the east side
will be up to 5 degrees above normal.

The ridge will hold through Monday for continued warm and dry
weather. It will be the warmest day of the stretch for all but the
coast and far east side with highs around 10 degrees above normal.

Long term discussion from the Thursday afternoon AFD...Tuesday 29
May through Thursday 31 May 2018. Models are in pretty good
agreement with only minor differences through mid week.

Tuesday will be a transition day as an upper level trough
approaches the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures will be a few
degrees cooler, and we'll see the return of thunderstorm chances
east of the Cascades. Conditions will be similar on Wednesday, but
with slightly cooler temperatures.

By Thursday, models diverge on how they handle a secondary shortwave
that swings down the backside of the trough. The GFS drops the
energy further south into northern California and shears it off
briefly into a closed low that lingers over the area through
Thursday. The EC on the other hand, moves the shortwave through the
area by Thursday afternoon. About half of the GFS ensembles agree
with the operational while the other half are similar to the EC
solution. Because of this, went with a general blend for Thursday
and introduced a slight chance for thunderstorms over southwest
Siskiyou County. If the GFS pans out, convection would be a bit more
in coverage over northern California, whereas the EC would keep the
area dry for most of the day Thursday. Either solution will bring
seasonable temperatures. /BR-y

.AVIATION...25/06Z...Thunderstorm activity has fallen apart over the
last few hours with only a few cells left east of the Cascades.
Look for a continued chance for thunderstorms near Klamath Falls
with a mix of rain showers and stratiform rain west of the Cascades.
CIGS at MFR and RBG could come down to MVFR according to some of the
guidance, but we're expecting it to rise to VFR conditions during
the day with daytime heating.

As for the coast... MVFR CIGS are expected for a few hours before
the inversion begins to strengthen and brings CIGS down to IFR
thresholds.  Visibility may be reduced at times as well along the
coast.

East of the Cascades... We're going to go with a persistence
forecast tonight for Klamath Falls.  Given all this added surface
moisture from the thunderstorms,  we're thinking that this should
aid in fog formation again tonight.  Look for MVFR conditions over
LMT because of the fog tonight. CZS

.MARINE...Updated 200 AM PDT Friday 25 May 2018...Moderate north
winds will continue to produce steep seas through Friday. Winds will
decrease Friday night as inland low pressure disrupts the north
flow, but the thermal trough will rebuild over California by
Saturday afternoon, marking a return of gusty north winds south of
Cape Blanco. Winds will spread north and strengthen further Sunday
evening into early next week. The thermal trough is likely to remain
in place for several days, producing at least small craft advisory
conditions until the next system arrives late in the week or next
weekend, providing a brief disruption to the pattern.
