What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind 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 wind advisory went out at Dec 4, 9:05 AM PST, 5 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 4, 9:05 AM PST, 5 hours 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 905 AM PST Wed Dec 4 2019 Updated aviation discussion .DISCUSSION...We've updated precipitation chances this morning to add portions of Northern California in a slight chance of rain. We've had a few reports of a hundredth of an inch as low pressure over Central California spreads precipitation northward into Siskiyou and Modoc Counties. Also, some dense fog is being observed in some valleys west of the Cascades including portions of the Illinois...Umpqua...and Rogue Valleys. We've issued a short-term forecast (NOWCAST) and messaged on social media to highlight this hazard. We expect conditions to improve by 10am PST. We'll be examining data for the next storm system today, and we'll see what hazards need to be issued and what themes of communication will be needed. So far this morning, it seems we'll need some Wind Advisories and potentially a high elevation winter weather hazards for Northern California. Please see the previous discussion below for more details on the return to active weather. && .AVIATION...For the 04/18Z TAFs...Areas of IFR cigs/vsbys in low clouds and fog over the valleys will clear to mostly VFR by this afternoon, but patchy IFR may linger in the Illinois and Umpqua valley into this afternoon. The lower conditions will return to the same areas tonight, persisting into Thursday morning before clearing to VFR Thursday afternoon. && .MARINE...Updated 830 AM PST Wednesday 4 December 2019...Weak high pressure will persist today with swell dominated seas. South winds will increase in the outer waters Thursday ahead of a strong front. The front will move through Thursday night into Friday, and will likely bring gales along with high and very steep seas. Another front Friday night into Saturday will likely bring another round of gales with very steep seas peaking at around 15 feet. Conditions will improve Sunday into Monday as weak high pressure returns to the area. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 355 AM PST Wed Dec 4 2019/ DISCUSSION...Relatively quiet weather is expected for at least a couple more days. The latest satellite image shows and upper low south of our area that will bring occasional high and mid level clouds over the area. Meanwhile an upper low is taking shape around 42N and 148W. This will move towards our area over the next 24-36 hours. More on this to follow later in the discussion. The latest satellite image shows low clouds and patchy to areas of fog over most of the same areas as yesterday. Low clouds and fog should burn off late in the morning or early afternoon. However like yesterday, it may not break out at all in the Umpqua Basin and portions of the Illinois Valley and Grants Pass area. Even when the fog burns off, in it's place will be varying amounts of high and mid level clouds. There's good agreement Thursday will end up dry for the whole day. The operational models are in good agreement keeping the upper and surface low and associated front well offshore through the day. Even several of the individual ECMWF ensemble members show little or nothing during the day Thursday for many locations, including the coast. However, upslope flow could help to contribute to some precipitation in the Mount Shasta region and kept in a slight chance of rain and higher elevation snow. Speaking of which snow levels Thursday are expected to be around 6000 feet, so that will keep it above the I-5 corridor and highway 89. The front will inch closer to the coast Thursday night. Mid level flow will also increase and we can expect moderate to occasionally strong winds over the marine waters and along the coast, specifically south of Cape Blanco. Right now, were not anticipating any high winds for the south coast, but it's something that will need to be monitored. Meanwhile 700 mb winds and favorable upper flow from the southeast late Thursday afternoon through Friday could contribute to moderate to strong winds in the Shasta Valley and south end of the Rogue Valley from about Medford down to Ashland. Wind advisory criteria could be met in both areas. However pressure gradients are not anything too impressive to warrant high wind concerns in these areas. Also the east side will be windy, but not until Friday when stronger 700mb winds are expected to move overhead. The front will continue to move inland on Friday with moderate to heavy precipitation likely for the coast, coastal mountains and south through southeast Siskiyou County. However it's not expected to be for a prolonged period of time which means precipitation impacts are likely to be fairly short lived. Snow levels for this event are honing in on elevations around 5500 feet, however they could lower down to around 5000 feet in areas of heavy precipitation, especially for the Mount Shasta area. Even then the bulk of the snow impacts should remain above the major passes. If nothing else, this will help to add to the snowpack. The upper level trough will make its way overhead Saturday afternoon, then weaken and push off to the southeast Saturday night through Sunday. Moisture-rich onshore flow with this system will produce plenty of precipitation in the area, especially for the usual areas, like the coast, coastal mountains and western through southern Siskiyou County. However the trajectory will be more southerly, so inland areas, especially the East Side, will be sheltered from the heaviest precipitation. We aren't concerned about hydrological hazards Friday night through Saturday night, because mainstem rivers and streams flows are very low. There will be some rises on area streams, creeks and rivers though, especially across southern and western portions of the CWA. Snow levels should hover right around 5500 feet Saturday, dropping off to around 4500-5000 feet Saturday night in to Sunday as precipitation tapers off and colder air aloft moves overhead. Expect significant snowfall, in the higher terrain of Siskiyou County. Snow is also expected for the Cascades, Warners, and the high terrain of the East Side, but amounts will be less. The forecast for Sunday and beyond has been retained in the previous long term discussion below. -Petrucelli LONG TERM...Sunday through Tuesday Night...Showers will decrease in coverage and intensity Sunday, then ridging and high pressure return by Monday. Along with clearing skies, temperatures are expected to warm slightly for Monday. The exception to this will be valley fog, typical for this time of year, which will keep some areas cool, and could easily stick around throughout the day. The next system is slated to arrive Tuesday, and although models are in surprising overall agreement, solutions have been trending a bit slower with the arrival. Details are still uncertain regarding strength, but given the pattern and the model trends, the event does not appear at this time to be a major rain or weather producer. -BPN && .MFR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OR...None. CA...None. Pacific Coastal Waters...None.
