Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
821 PM PST Sun Dec 16 2018
.DISCUSSION...Winds have died down as expected from west to east
this evening, and wind warnings and advisories have been lowered
accordingly. The last to go will be the remainder of the
advisories and warnings over the far east side, and those will be
coming down probably within the hour. The front and its
precipitation will linger over Modoc and Lake counties overnight,
and we'll also continue to see at least light precipitation in the
usual west side upslope areas tonight. Pops remain high in these
areas through the night. The rest of us will see spotty showers,
but don't expect much. Tomorrow will provide a break between
storms over most inland areas, but conditions will deteriorate
along the coast and offshore with increasing wind and rain by
day's end as the next front approaches. This front will be another
wind maker for inland areas on Tuesday, but rainfall will be much
heavier, especially over west side locations. -Wright
&&
.AVIATION...For the 17/00Z TAFs...As the front moves east of the
Cascades and showers spread inland this evening, rain and mountain
snow, mountain obscurations and areas of MVFR cigs/vis are
expected. As the front moves east of the area tonight and showers
persist over the area , expect increasing MVFR with local IFR
cigs/vis at times. There is a slight chance for local
thunderstorms along the coast late this evening and tonight.
Additionally, late tonight and early Monday morning there is a
chance for IFR/LIFR in valley fog for some inland valleys, mainly
west of the Cascades. Conditions are expected to lift to VFR
areawide late Monday morning. Another front will begin to spread
precipitation inland Monday afternoon. Gusty winds will also begin
to develop late Monday afternoon ahead of this front, especially
along the coast, in the Shasta valley and over the mountains. -CC
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 257 PM PST Sun Dec 16 2018/
SHORT TERM...A potent frontal system is moving through the area
at this writing with a period of moderate to heavy rainfall
accompanying it. We've had about 0.15 of an inch in the last hour
here at the airport with some reports of up to a third of an inch
in just one hour in the Illinois Valley and around 0.50 of an inch
in an hour at Gold Beach. The back edge of the heavy rain will
push east of Jackson County in the next hour or so, then move east
of the Cascades tonight. Post-frontal showers will continue
tonight through Monday morning along and west of the Cascades and
there could be isolated thunderstorms over the coastal waters and
along the immediate coast as the cold pool aloft moves in. Winds
didn't really materialize after early this morning's brief SE 35
mph gusts north of the Phoenix/Talent exits on I-5, so we
cancelled the wind advisory for those areas early. Wind gusts are
still strong in the Shasta Valley at 2 pm, but these should also
ease as the front pushes through late this afternoon. Wind
products there expire at 7 pm and will also allow them to ride
until 10 pm over the East Side.
Another strong frontal system will bring another bout of strong
winds and heavy rain at the coast Monday afternoon through
Tuesday. We have upgraded the high wind watch to a warning along
the coast as 925 mb winds near 70 kt. This is usually a good proxy
for gusts along the coast with even higher gusts possible at the
headlands and exposed areas. Model 700 mb flow is strong too,
peaking at 50-70 kt, highest north of the OR/CA border, but unlike
the most recent 2 systems is more westerly or west-southwesterly
aloft. We have maintained the high wind watch over the East Side
since we still currently have a wind warning in effect. This may
get upgraded over the next shift or so. Additional wind advisories
are expected as well. It is notable that while we have met wind
warning criteria with the last 2 events in the Shasta Valley, this
event should be a bit different due to the WSW 850-700mb flow. We
are still expecting advisory type winds (45-55 mph gusts), but
warning level winds there are not as likely due to the wind
direction aloft.
In addition, there is the potential for about a 12 hour period of
heavy rainfall at the coast, focused in the coast ranges, late
Monday night into Tuesday. Overall, this event is expected to
deliver 2-4 inches of rain for all coastal areas with 3-6 inches
in far western Josephine/Curry County. Locally higher amounts are
possible in the coastal mountains. This will likely lead to
significant rises on area streams, creeks and rivers, so we have
issued a hydro outlook at ESFMFR. We have also issued a Flash
Flood Watch for the Chetco and Klondike burn scars, where rain
rates could exceed 0.50 of an inch per hour at times. This could
result in rock slides and debris flows in the burn scar region.
Even if intensity thresholds aren't met, storm total rainfall
could exceed the 2-3 inch amounts necessary for debris flow
potential. Since rivers are still running pretty low, we are not
anticipating main stem flooding.
We are not anticipating any significant snow impacts with this
system since snow levels will be quite high, though there could be
several inches of snow up around Crater Lake.
The front will push south of the area Tuesday night and
precipitation will diminish.
-Spilde
LONG TERM...Wednesday through Sunday...A weak upper level ridge
is forecast to build over the area on Wednesday resulting in
decreasing showers. However this break in the weather will be
brief as additional fronts are expected late in the week in to
next weekend.
Late Wednesday into Wednesday night, another frontal system
offshore will approach the region and bring a warm front inland
north of the area. This may allow a chance for light rain along
the coast as this pushes inland north of us. Models then show good
agreement that a cold front will move inland Thursday into
Thursday night. This front is expected to bring moderate to
locally heavy rain to the coast with moderate precipitation
inland. Snow levels are expected to be around 6500 feet elevation
ahead of this front, lowering to around 4000 to 5000 feet behind
the front in showers Thursday night. Some strong gusty winds are
possible ahead of and with the frontal passage Thursday into
Thursday evening, mainly over the higher terrain, into the Shasta
Valley and possibly for some local areas east of the Cascades,
such as the Summer Lake area. On Friday, expect some lingering
showers, especially in the morning. Snow levels may be down to
3000 to 3500 feet early Friday but any showers are expected to be
very light.
Next weekend, models show another low pressure system approaching
the Pacific Northwest Saturday and moving inland Saturday night.
However there is significant model variability on the strength of
this system. Snow levels of around 4000 to 5500 feet are currently
forecast with this system Saturday night and Sunday. So light to
moderate snow is possible over the higher passes, Saturday night
and Sunday. Will need to monitor this portion of the forecast
with future model runs. -CC
