Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
259 PM PST Wed Nov 21 2018
.SHORT TERM...A strong upper trough is moving onshore this
afternoon across the entire west coast. A strong shortwave within
this trough is moving into the southern Oregon Coast helping to
drive a cold front inland. Radar shows a broad area of moderate
rain extending from Roseburg southwest Oregon through northern
California about to push east through south-central Oregon.
Another significant and strong shortwave will arrive at the coast
Thanksgiving morning packing another round of strong south winds
for the region. A strong surface low will cross the Oregon coast
somewhere between North Bend and Newport at about 10 am. A High
Wind Warning has been issued for the south coast and some inland
areas. This system will also produce an enhanced westerly push
into the area with colder air and lower snow levels. A combination
of Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings has been
issued for areas above about 4500 feet elevation. The snow will be
accompanied by wind gusts of 45-60 mph so things could get pretty
dicey if driving. Use caution and check the road conditions
before heading out. The winter weather event will taper
considerably by Friday morning but wet weather with rising snow
levels will remain widespread as a warm front lifts across the
area in advance of yet another surface low to move onshore near
Coos Bay. Ridging and drier weather is on tap for Saturday but
some rain may return Sunday for some west-side areas as a weak
shortwave rolls through. Travel for those returning home from the
holiday should be good. Monday looks fairly dry and mild as the
ridge holds but another wet system is expected by Tuesday with
more mountain snow. Stavish
.LONG TERM...Sunday through Wednesday Night...Although upper
level ridging will be in place over the region Sunday, the models
are depicting a weak wave traversing through the ridge. This little
impulse, although not expected to be a major player in the weather
scheme, should provide enough lift and moist onshore flow to produce
light showers along the coast and the Cascades north of Crater Lake.
The next major front to reach the area is now expected to arrive
Monday night into Tuesday. There are some differences between the
model suites, mainly in regard to the surface features. The
operational ECMWF brings a surface low onshore well to the north of
Seattle. Meanwhile, the GFS solution brings a rapidly deepening low
onshore near the mouth of the Columbia River. These two scenarios
present vastly different wind regimes, but both should produce
plenty of rainfall. As a result, there is more than enough
confidence on precipitation to keep rather high chances in the
forecast for monday night through Tuesday night. Confidence in the
wind forecast remains pretty low, so have kept them on the weaker
side for now.
Beyond Tuesday, there is little agreement between the models, except
that nearly all suites keep the wet and active pattern going, with
moist onshore flow and numerous troughs and fronts on deck to push
through our region. Have kept the remainder of the forecast wet and
active, but will not attempt to nail down details until there is
less uncertainty on the timing and strength of the individual
features. -BPN

AVIATION...For the 21/12Z TAFs...Areas of MVFR and local IFR
conditions as well as mountain obscurations are expected into this
evening from the coast to the Cascades as a front brings moderate to
locally heavy rain to the area. As precipitation spreads east of the
Cascades late this afternoon and early this evening, expect local
MVFR cigs east of the Cascades. Showers will develop behind the
front late today and this evening with areas of MVFR cigs
continuing. Isolated thunderstorms are possible near the coast this
evening as well. Strong gusty winds will continue in the Shasta
Valley and east of the Cascades through this evening.
Winds will ease tonight, but a very strong front is expected to
approach the area Thursday morning. Tonight through early Thursday
morning, before this next front moves into the area, expect some
areas of MVFR/IFR cigs to develop in western valleys. Then as the
front approaches the coast, strong gusty south winds will develop
across coastal areas as well as into the Shasta Valley. Low level
wind shear is also possible for inland areas Thursday morning. Rain
will move into the coast in the mid morning bringing areas of MVFR
cigs/vis and local IFR conditions. -CC
&&
.MARINE...Updated 200 PM PST Wednesday 21 November 2018...Conditions
will significantly worsen tonight into early Thursday. Today, a
front will push inland by this evening. Expect steep to very steep
seas, some gusty south winds and a slight chance for thunderstorm
into this evening.
A powerful front will arrive early Thursday morning and move across
the waters Thursday morning through early Thursday afternoon, with
strong southerly gales developing along with an area of storm force
winds. Storm force winds are expected to develop over areas from 5
nm to 25 nm from shore from Cape Sebastian northward. Winds will
lower late Thursday afternoon to 20 to 25 kt. Very steep and
dangerous seas and wind driven seas are expected to develop on
Thursday. These very steep seas will continue Thursday evening and
night as a mix of wind seas or fresh swell mixes with building west
swell.
A low pressure system is expected to move into the area Thursday
night into Friday and may bring another round of gales and very
steep seas to the waters Thursday night and Friday morning. Late
Friday into Saturday expect elevated seas due to a mix of west and
southwest swell. Winds will diminish Friday night into Saturday.
Another weaker front is expected to move into the area Saturday
night into Sunday bringing additional rain and some gusty south
winds. Then Monday into Tuesday, models show the potential for
another fairly strong front to arrive with strong winds and building
seas. -CC
