Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
850 PM PDT Sat May 8 2021

.DISCUSSION....DISCUSSION...09/00Z NAM in.

There are areas of stratocumulus and patches of high clouds over
the WFO Medford forecast area this evening, but no measurable
precipitation. Expect some increase in low clouds over the west
side valleys tonight into Sunday morning.

A long wave ridge off the west coast will move slowly east
through the weekend with northwest flow aloft over the WFO Medford
forecast area. The ridge will build in fits and starts due to
weak short waves moving over the top of it. The strongest of these
short waves will move through Sunday, passing over the northern
Cascades and east side. This may bring a shower or two to the
Cascades around Diamond Lake and northeast Lake County Sunday
morning. Other than that, Sunday will be a mild and dry day.

The ridge will strengthen Monday as it approaches the coast. A
thermal trough will develop near the coast, and a warming and
drying trend will commence over the area. Inland high
temperatures will be around 5 degrees warmer than the Sunday
highs. Humidities will lower significantly as well. Inland highs
on Tuesday will warm another 5 to 10 degrees over the Monday
highs.

The increased gradient with the deepening thermal trough will
bring increasing Chetco effect winds, and thus very warm
temperatures to the Brookings area. This includes high
temperatures in this area Monday and Tuesday, and low
temperatures Monday night and Tuesday night.

Long term discussion from the Saturday afternoon AFD...Wednesday
12 May through Saturday 15 May 2021. Regarding the general
pattern, the models begin to diverge midweek, with various members
showing various shortwaves and troughs of various strengths
entering the area at various times. In short, there is a lot of
variation in the model solutions. Fortunately enough, despite
these differences, there are precious few members that show any
precipitation at all, and even those hold off the rain until far
late in the weekend or even early into the next week. Therefore,
have kept the forecast dry through the forecast term.

Following the warmest day of the week on Wednesday, expect a slight
cooling trend (although daytime temperatures will remain above
normal overall) through the remainder of the week as those troughs
and shortwaves lower the heights aloft and produce some increased
cloud cover. Meanwhile, at the coast, expect nightly marine pushes
with low clouds and fog possible north of Cape Blanco, with daytime
clearing as offshore flow returns in the afternoon. Along the south
coast near Brookings, warmer temperatures are possible due to a
Chetco Effect, alternating with periods of fog or low clouds as wind
eddies form between the coast and the stronger winds offshore. -BPN

&&

.AVIATION...For the 09/00Z TAF Cycle...Breezy northwest to north
winds will continue early this evening, and develop again for Sunday
afternoon into the evening. VFR will persist into this evening. MVFR
ceilings are expected to reach the coast around 04Z this evening
with mountain obscuration developing along the Coast Range.
Generally VFR ceilings will impact inland valley terminals tonight
into Sunday morning with local obscuration and a few very light
showers over the higher terrain, mainly for the southern Oregon
Cascades. Later Sunday morning, clouds will dissipate with VFR
conditions into the evening. DW

&&

.MARINE...Updated 830 PM PDT Saturday 8 May 2021...A thermal
trough will deepen into Monday, likely remain deep into Tuesday, and
will persist near the coast through much of the week. Gusty north
winds and steep to very steep seas are expected, with the strongest
winds south of Cape Blanco during the afternoon and evening hours.

Seas will remain steep south of Port Orford into Sunday afternoon.
Late Sunday into Monday, seas south of Gold Beach will become very
steep with winds approaching gale force. Meanwhile, seas north of
Gold Beach become steep. Then, gales are likely south of Cape Blanco
late Monday as winds and seas reach a peak with steep seas
persisting in the northern waters.

Winds and seas are forecast to persist near that peak Monday night
through Tuesday night, before winds gradually diminish Wednesday.
Even then, small craft conditions are likely to persist until late
in the week. -Petrucelli/DW
