What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this hazardous seas warning 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 hazardous seas warning went out at Feb 24, 9:56 AM PST, 4 hours 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 9:56 AM PST, 4 hours 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
956 AM PST Wed Feb 24 2021
.Updated Aviation Discussion.
.DISCUSSION...High pressure and broad north to northeast winds are
affecting the forecast area today, and sunny skies will be in
full effect today. Plenty of Vitamin D will be available! The air
mass is cold (-4.4C at 5000 feet is in the coldest 10 percent for
this time of year), so morning lows were below average.
Temperatures are warming at the coast after some frosty mid-30s.
Clouds will increase from the northwest Thursday, and
precipitation chances increase over the Cascades and from the
Umpqua Divide northward. Precipitation will be generally light.
Models have overall trended warmer and generally drier for the
system (more precipitation than Thu/Fri) moving in Friday night
into Saturday morning, and right now it looks like snow levels
will dip to around 2000-2500 feet. If any mountain passes see
snowfall, they will likely be from the Umpqua Divide northward
(Canyon Mt Pass for example), but impacts look minimal if any at
this point based on model trends. Please see the previous forecast
discussion below for more details.
&&
.AVIATION...For the 24/18Z TAF Cycle...At the coast and just
offshore. VFR conditions will continue into tonight. However a front
will bring lowering ceilings late tonight. The TAF at North Bend
shows MVFR conditions starting 14z tomorrow morning, but there's a
chance it could develop an hour or two earlier.
Inland westside. VFR ceilings are expected through the TAF period,
but it will be a close call towards the end of the TAF period north
of the Umpqua Divide, including Roseburg. Ceilings will lower late
tonight north of the Umpqua Divide with the higher terrain partly
obscured, but ceilings should remain VFR.
East of the Cascades and northern California, VFR conditions will
continue through the TAF period. -Petrucelli

.MARINE...Updated 800 AM PST Wednesday 24 Feb 2021...Offshore high
pressure and a thermal trough near the coast will support gusty
north winds and steep seas south of Cape Blanco. Steep seas will
also affect the northern waters through tonight due to moderate
northwest swell. Winds will weaken Thursday as a weak front moves
through, then strengthen again late Friday and Saturday. Seas will
quickly build late Thursday and Thursday night as heavy long period
northwest swell builds into the waters, peaking early Friday morning
at 16 to 21 feet at 16 seconds.
High surf will be another concern during this time period. Current
projections show surf between 20 and 25 feet late Thursday evening
through Friday afternoon.
Northwest swell will gradually diminish Friday evening through
Saturday night. Meanwhile another front will move into the waters
Friday evening followed by increasing northwest winds Friday night
into Saturday morning. Winds will shift northerly Saturday, but will
remain moderate south of Cape Blanco Saturday afternoon as strong
offshore high pressure sets up along with a developing thermal
trough along the southern Oregon coast. North winds will gradually
lower Saturday night.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 538 AM PST Wed Feb 24 2021/
DISCUSSION...Some light showers has caused a few hundreths of
rain along the coast and in the hills north of the Umpqua Divide.
The cloud cover and mixing does lower the chance for frost along
the coast, but not eliminate it all together, so will allow the
frost advisory to continue. The increase in moisture may be the
difference maker in which valleys have fog form with the dry
airmass that has moved into the region. Have removed the mention
of patchy fog in the Illinois and Rogue valley. The Illinois
Valley does have higher RHs than the Rogue valley currently (95%
and 70% respectively), so if one of the two were to develop some
sunrise surprise fog it would much more likely be the Illinois.
In the Umpqua and Coquille Valleys, fueled by this latest bit of
rain, have left the mention of patchy fog. The limiting factor
here will be if the valleys cool off enough to reach saturation.
It seems likely though, at least in scattered pockets.
The one element where edits were made was to winds during the
next approaching front. Ridges and valleys west of the Cascades
will be breezy Thursday as the main front moves through and again
on Friday afternoon when a strong shortwave moves through the PNW.
The strongest winds will remain aloft, so only in the afternoons
when the best mixing occur will the strongest winds really be
felt. This will keep even the headlands of the coast with
relatively benign winds considering a front is passing. Exposed
terrain above 5000-5500 feet will be almost constantly impacted by
strong west winds for 36-48 hrs Thursday afternoon through
Saturday morning. Gusts along the Cascades and Winter Rim area
could easily experience 50+ mph gusts. The latest wind updates did
bring advisory level wind gusts to the Summer Lake, highway 31,
area of Lake County Thursday and Friday afternoons. As mentioned,
do not anticipate these winds being constant and instead will
porpoise. Will let the day shift take a second look at it before
an advisory is or isn't issued.
The remainder of the forecast is on track. -Miles
