Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
240 PM PST Tue Dec 15 2020
Updated Marine Discussion.
.SHORT TERM...A weak front has moved inland. Isolated to scattered
light showers will continue into this evening, diminishing
tonight. Then models continue to show that a stronger and moister
front will move towards the area Wednesday morning, then gradually
push inland Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night. This
front is forecast to bring significant rain and higher mountain
snow to the area as well as strong, gusty southerly winds to the
mountains and areas east of the Cascades (especially near Summer
Lake).
Satellite and radar imagery indicate numerous light showers across
the area this afternoon. Precipitation reports have indicated very
light precipitation though. These showers are forecast to continue
into this evening, then diminish tonight. However, this break in
activity will be brief.
On Wednesday, as a strong and moist front moves into the area. We
expect impacts with snow in the higher mountains and with strong,
gusty winds across the mountains and for areas east of the
Cascades. Models show a strong westerly to southwesterly 700 mb
jet of around 50 to 65 kt moving into the area Wednesday with this
front. This, combined with a moderate to strong east to west
pressure gradient, will result in gusty winds across the
mountains and into portions of Lake County in the Summer Lake
area. Winds are expected to be strongest in the afternoon and
evening with gusts of 45 to 55 mph. A wind advisory remains in
effect for these areas (please see the NPWMFR for details). Gusty
south winds will also affect the southern Rogue Valley near
Ashland and the southern Shasta Valley near Weed with gusts to 35
to 40 mph.
Models continue to indicate widespread moderate and locally heavy
rain is expected for much of the area along with significant
higher mountain snowfall. Snow levels are expected to vary during
the day, starting out around 4000 to 5000 feet over the Cascades
and east side, then rising to 5000 to 6500 feet during the
afternoon, before lowering again late in the evening and
overnight. How quickly snow levels rise will be a factor in how
much snowfall occurs. Overall, based on current model and ensemble
solutions, expect the main snow impacts to be for areas above
5000 feet in the Southern Oregon Cascades, the Mount Ashland ski
area and areas above 5000 feet in the Mount Shasta area where
around 5 to 10 inches of snow is forecast. A winter weather
advisory is in effect for these areas (please see the WSWMFR for
details). Of note, snow levels may be lower in the Mount Shasta
area, with snow mixing with rain down 4000 to 4500 feet at times
in heavy precipitation. As a result, expect light snow or a
rain/snow mix to affect Snowmans Summit on Highway 89 at times
during the day Wednesday. Then as snow levels lower overnight
expect around 2 to 3 inches of snow accumulation expected
Wednesday night. West of the Cascades, snow levels will be higher,
rising into the 6000 to 7000 ft range during the afternoon on
Wednesday. Moderate and locally heavy rainfall is expected for
areas west of the Cascades in southwest Oregon and into western
Siskiyou County with 1 to 2 inches of rain forecast along the
coast and 1 to 3 inches over the coastal mountains and into
western Siskiyou. For valleys west of the Cascades, rainfall
amounts will vary with highest amounts of 0.75 to 2 inches in the
Illinois and lower Klamath River valleys and around 0.5 to 1 inch
across other west side valleys.
The front is forecast shift east of the Cascades Wednesday evening
and east to the area by early Thursday morning. Post frontal
showers are expected behind the front into Thursday. These showers
will be mainly light and expect shower activity to decrease
Thursday night as an upper level ridge builds into the region.
.LONG TERM...Friday morning through Tuesday night...Active weather
continues during the extended period. However, short wave ridging
will be over the region Friday, so the area will see a break between
weather systems for most of Friday. Valley fog and low clouds are
likely to be present Friday morning, although this should improve by
the late morning/early afternoon. A relatively weak front will push
into the area Friday afternoon and evening, bringing precipitation
mainly to the coast, along the Cascades and north of the Umpqua
Divide. Precipitation amounts will be relatively light and with snow
levels around 4500-5000 ft, winter weather impacts should be
minimal.
As we head into the weekend, model variability greatly increases
regarding the evolution of the next system. Another period of
shortwave ridging will be in place Saturday morning and this will
lead to dry conditions for much of Saturday. Saturday evening,
however, could be the start of a very wet period for the area that
could potentially last until Tuesday afternoon. There are
considerable differences in the model solutions regarding this
system which leads to high uncertainty in the forecast. An
atmospheric river looks to take aim at the Pacific Northwest
Saturday afternoon, gradually sagging south to the OR/CA border by
Saturday night into Sunday. However exactly where the heaviest rain
sets up and the duration is where the greatest uncertainty lies.
Both the EC and GFS have a fairly wet period for the area Sunday
afternoon and evening. The EC continues the wet weather through
Sunday night into Monday, lifting the front north, then pushing
through the area again Monday night into Tuesday. The GFS, on the
other hand, brings a break in the weather Sunday night into Monday,
keeping the front well to the north of the area. Ensemble members of
each solution generally agree with their deterministic counterparts,
with the EC being the most bullish in terms of amounts and duration.
The current forecast leans heavily on the National Blend of Models,
which brings about 2-4 inches along the coast from Saturday
afternoon through early Tuesday morning. However, it should be noted
that some members of the EC ensembles show the potential for higher
amounts, but again there is a lot of uncertainty regarding this
scenario. The pattern will be transitioning to a more zonal flow
over the weekend (westerly flow) vs the more recent southwesterly
flow and this will allow for a longer period of moisture fetch from
the Pacific Ocean. This certainly allows and sets the stage for a
longer duration heavy rain event compared to recent systems. Snow
levels are expected to rise to around 7000 ft with this event, so
the heaviest snow should be above the major passes. We'll likely see
some rises on the main stem rivers, but again, much will depend on
where the moisture plume actually sets up and where the heaviest
rainfall occurs. /BR-y
&&
.AVIATION...For the 15/18Z TAFs...A mix of MVFR/IFR conditions with
widespread terrain obscurations prevail across the area. A front
pushing through the region is bringing some rain and snow mainly to
areas along and east of the Cascades currently. Freezing levels
ahead of this front are around 3500 ft, but are gradually rising
behind the front. As this happens there is the potential for some
freezing rain in the Scott Valley as well as portions of eastern
Siskiyou County and western Klamath County, including KLMT. If this
does occur, amounts are expected to be light and is only a concern
through 21z. After then, freezing levels will rise to around 6000
ft.
IFR conditions are expected to improve to MVFR/low end VFR this
afternoon, only to return in fog and low stratus for many of the
area valleys overnight. /BR-y
&&
.MARINE...Updated 230 PM PST Tuesday 15 Dec 2020...South winds
will ease a bit this afternoon and evening behind the front that
moved onshore this morning. However, another very high and very
steep swell is moving in now. It will peak at 18 to 20 feet at 18
seconds tonight, then last into Wednesday morning. Another strong
front will move through the coastal waters on Wednesday. We're
expecting this one to be a little stronger than this morning's
front, so low-end gales (gusts of 40-45 kt) are expected. This is
especially the case north of Cape Blanco, but gale-force gusts could
be felt as far south as Brookings later Wednesday morning through
Wednesday afternoon -- a gale warning has been issued. Expect very
steep wind waves combined with the swell to produce a period of very
dangerous seas.
After winds subside again Wednesday night into Thursday, we expect
another high and steep west swell to move in. This swell doesn't
look as high as the one expected this evening, but it will still be
substantial with wave heights mostly between 12 to 16 feet.
Late this week, we expect the active weather pattern to continue.
Even though guidance is showing a brief break Friday/Friday evening
with seas lowering to or perhaps even below 10 feet, additional
