Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Medford OR
853 PM PST Thu Jan 25 2018

Corrected to remove mention of the wind advisory. The wind
advisory expired earlier today. Marine discussion also updated.

.DISCUSSION...An update will be made later this evening,
primarily to adjust winter weather headlines. A strong shortwave
is moving through the Cascades right now and will exit our
forecast area this evening. Webcams show it snowing hard at
Diamond Lake right now, but this represents that last significant
batch of showers for tonight. We'll still see scattered showers
through the night, but they will be of the lighter variety and
probable not cause too much more trouble. As a result, the winter
storm products will be allowed to expire later this evening.

We can already see high cloud streaming out ahead of our next
system approaching the coast right now. This system will bring
moderate to heavy precipitation to our area starting Friday
evening and continuing through Saturday. Driven by a 80-110 knot
westerly upper jet, dynamics look extremely favorable for any
north-south oriented mountain ranges (like the Cascades). In
addition, the moisture feed looks impressive, and with
precipitable water amounts of over 1 inch plowing into the coast,
this will be one of those rare westerly oriented atmospheric
rivers. Indeed, the latest guidance has increased precipitation
amounts, particularly in the Cascades and coastal ranges. For
example, model liquid ranges anywhere from 1 to 3 inches around
Crater Lake for this event, which translates into, perhaps, a
couple of feet of snow over the highest elevations.

With cold air already in place, there will be two main concerns
with this system:

1. This looks like a potentially very big snowstorm in the
Cascades. As we drop current advisories and warnings this evening,
we will be issuing a new watch for the Cascades from roughly Mt.
McLoughlin northward. As is often the case on systems oriented
like this, there can also be significant spill over of snow into
northern Klamath County, especially the highway 97 corridor around
Chemult. That area will also be included in the watch. Expect the
new watch by 11 PM.

2. With a chilly airmass in place and precipitation arriving
mostly at night, there is a concern for it to start as snow where
any cold air remains trapped in valleys. This occasionally happens
in the places like the Illinois Valley and the Evans Valley north
of Rogue River. Confidence is not high enough to issue any
headlines for that, but this is something we'll keep a close eye
on. Current guidance suggests cold air gets scoured out quickly,
but models are notorious for scouring out trapped cold air too
quickly. -Wright

.AVIATION...26/00Z TAF CYCLE...A mix of VFR and MVFR conditions
will continue as showers develop and dissipate. Freezing levels
will drop around 1000 feet tonight, bringing snow showers to much
of the area, save for KRBG and the coast. Expect widespread
terrain obscuration and lower flight rules in showers. -MSC

&&

.MARINE...Updated 830 PM PST Thursday 25 Jan 2018...Winds will be
relatively calm through Friday afternoon, but seas will remain
steep at around 12 to 14 feet at 14 seconds. Showers will
continue over the waters through Friday morning before tapering
off in the afternoon. The next front is expected late Friday night
and winds will increase to small craft advisory by Friday
afternoon. Winds will increase further to gales by Friday night.
Current guidance suggests high end gales are likely, but there
could be a brief period of storm force gusts north of Cape Blanco
late Friday night. Seas will also build again, becoming very steep
and hazardous wind driven seas late Friday night. Seas will peak
late Friday night into Saturday morning at around 18 to 19 feet.

Conditions will improve Saturday as winds diminish by the morning,
but seas will remain high and steep through Saturday night. High
pressure builds in Sunday and conditions should be relatively calm
through much of Monday. /BR-y

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 234 PM PST Thu Jan 25 2018/

SHORT TERM...With an upper trough in place, a cold and unstable
air mass is over the region. This is resulting in a showery
pattern across the area. An area of enhanced showers is visible
on satellite moving inland from the coast this afternoon. This
area of light to moderate showers will move across area this
afternoon and early this evening. This will result in numerous
rain and snow showers for areas from the Cascades west and
scattered showers east of the Cascades. Snow levels have risen
with daytime heating to around 2500 to 3000 feet but are expected
to lower in heavier showers to around 2000 feet. Light to
moderate snow in showers is expected into the evening.
Accumulations in western valleys are less likely though due to
warmer temperatures and warmer roadways.

Shower activity will decrease tonight when the upper trough moves
east of the area. Some continued light showers are expected
though tonight and through the day Friday as moist onshore flow
continues and a weak boundary moves into the coast. The areas with
the best chances for light showers tonight and Friday will be
along the coast, coast mountains and into Josephine and Douglas
counties.

Friday night, the next weather system arrives. Models show good
agreement with a strong low approaching the Pacific Northwest
coast Friday evening and bringing a warm front in to the area
Friday night into Saturday morning. As warm advection occurs,
expect snow levels to increasing, rising from near 3000 feet
Friday evening and night to 6000 to 7000 feet late Saturday
morning into Saturday afternoon. The transition to higher snow
levels is expected to occur around mid to late morning Saturday
over the Cascades. The GFS and ECMWF models both support this
timing. However the NAM indicates warm air moving into the area
quicker. So will need to monitor this. Before the warm air
arrives, models agree and show a potential for moderate to heavy
snow Friday night into early Saturday morning over the Southern
Oregon Cascades. West of the Cascades, expect snow levels to rise
in the early morning on Saturday. Moderate to locally heavy rain
is expected along the coast with light to moderate rain over
inland west side valleys. East side locations will be the slowest
to see snow levels rise, with this transition to rain expected to
occur in the late morning and early afternoon.

The other factor with this frontal system Friday night into
Saturday will be the potential for strong gusty winds. A low
level jet moving into the coast Friday night and early Saturday is
expected to result in strong gusty winds, possibly gusting up to
60 mph, at coastal headlands. Other coastal locations may also see
gusty winds in the 40 to 50 mph range. Inland, winds are expected
to increase and may become strong over some mountain and east
side locations. The main concern right now is for strong winds in
the Summer Lake area and over surrounding higher terrain in Lake
county. Models are indicating a 60 to 65 kt jet at 700 mb moving
into eastern locations on Saturday and bringing the potential for
high winds, mainly in the Summer Lake and surrounding area.

As the low moves inland to the north and a high pressure ridge
begins to build into the region from the southwest late Saturday
afternoon into Saturday night, expect precipitation to decrease
and gradually shift northward. This will result in diminishing
chances for rain by Saturday night.

LONG TERM...Sunday through Thursday. A ridge will build in Sunday,
drying out conditions save for a few lingering showers. As is
typical under a ridge during this time of year, expect valley fog
Sunday morning. The forecast gets more complex Monday... another
stream of moisture with subtropical origins will impact the Pacific
Northwest. The focus of precipitation will be in Washington and
northern Oregon. A trailing cold front will sweep through the region
Tuesday bringing a quick shot of precipitation. Wednesday onward,
models lean towards general ridging and dryer than normal weather.
The details differ somewhat between models. The GFS projects a
stronger ridge, driving offshore flow at the surface... while the EC
projects several shortwaves riding over the top of the ridge
bringing a chance of some light precipitation to the area. The GFS
has shown more consistency over the past several runs, and the
majority of ensemble members kept any short waves well north of the
Medford CWA, so leaned towards dry conditions for the extended.
