Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
934 PM PST Tue Nov 30 2021

.DISCUSSION...The forecast has been updated to increase the daily
duration of valley low clouds and fog during the next couple of
days. Though, near shore northeast winds and the passage of a
very weak shortwave trough are expected to cause stratus to
diminish in Coos and northern and central Douglas County from mid-
morning Wednesday into Wednesday evening. Also, there is a
slightly better chance of breaks in the valley stratus during
Wednesday afternoon compared to the past couple of days. Valley
stratus will be on the increase Wednesday evening into Thursday
morning as another weak front reaches our area.

Please see the previous discussion below for further details
regarding a much needed change to a wetter weather pattern early
next week.

&&

.AVIATION...01/00Z TAFs...
Afternoon clearing of low clouds and fog under the continuing
inversion did not completely scour out of the Shasta Valley
southwest of KSIY, from about Medford north and westward in the
Rogue Valley to between Rogue River and Grant Pass, across much of
the Illinois Valley, and for the valleys from Merlin to Galice to
Azalea and Glendale.

Overnight through Wednesday morning low clouds and fog will reform
across many valley areas similarly to how it did in the last 24
hours. East of the Cascades, however, lower dewpoints than 24 hours
ago mean that freezing fog and low clouds will probably be a bit
later in forming and coverage is likely to be a bit less than 24
hours ago.

Tuesday IFR/LIFR conditions in many valleys are likely to clear from
the coast and east side by noon. West of the Cascades, like today,
fog and low clouds are likely to begin to break up on valley edges
late morning, some areas in the afternoon, and other areas, such as
KMFR and Grants Pass, are most likely to only improve to IFR-MVFR.
Outside of the valleys, VFR conditions are expected to prevail
through the period. ~BTL

&&

.MARINE...Updated 825 PM PST Tuesday, November 30th, 2021...
Winds will become northerly over all of the coastal waters area by
sunrise, but are already northerly across all but the northwestern
portion of the area. These northerly winds are likely to be
moderately gusty from Cape Blanco southward tonight into tomorrow,
but especially tomorrow night through Thursday when they're likely
to increase to solid advisory levels. Before that west swell will
build on Wednesday resulting in advisory conditions for all areas.
Thursday through Friday north winds, combined with a building west
swell, are likely to cause seas to become very steep and hazardous
beyond 10NM west of the coast. Seas are likely to remain elevated
into Saturday before subsiding. A weather pattern change to more
active/normal is then expected to bring more frequent impacting
swell conditions, at times next week, beginning Monday. ~BTL

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 405 PM PST Tue Nov 30 2021/

DISCUSSION...There really isn't much to say about the weather for
the next several days. From now through Friday night, the upper
level ridge will be in firm control, keeping the preferred storm
track, and any significant chances of rain, well to our north.
Instead, we will be under mostly clear skies, with the exception
of the valleys of the West Side and the Klamath Basin, where
night and morning fog and low clouds will be the rule.
There is a chance that the valleys could open up and clear through
the week, depending on if periods of easterly winds or the
trailing end of a front can help mix out the air and disrupt the
valley inversions, but confidence on any given day is low. The
best chance of clearing does appear to be tomorrow, however, so
the forecast has been changed a bit to reflect this possibility.

It will be tough for any approaching systems to make inroads
against what amounts to be a rather resilient ridge. The models do
show a much more robust trough forming in the northeastern
Pacific late in the week, then pushing into the coast Saturday and
Sunday as the ridge weakens and shifts to the west. While the
precipitation with this front will once again likely stay to our
north, it will shift the pattern enough to allow for a second
system to arrive early next week.

The ensembles, while agreeing with the general pattern, have several
differences in how this will unfold but the general idea is that an
atmospheric river sets up, originating from the tropics near Hawaii
(a true pineapple express), and funneling it into the northern
Pacific Northwest Saturday, then a more compact low develops, picks
up the residual moisture plume from the departing system, and pushes
that through our area Monday into Tuesday. Lately, we have seen
these systems in the long term forecast dissipate and shift north in
the days leading up to the event, and this certainly is a
possibility, however, with the ensemble suites showing moist onshore
flow from Seattle all the way to southern California, chances are
much better that we will see some active, wet weather, it just
remains to be seen how much rain and wind we can expect. Given the
somewhat wide range of solutions, suspect we will see many updates
in the coming days as the models come to a better consensus and
confidence increases.
