Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
905 AM PST Sat Dec 18 2021

.UPDATE...No changes necessary this morning, with the forecast
running right on track. We will be focusing efforts today on the
upcoming precipitation tonight and tomorrow with heavy rain
expected along the coast, and possible heavy snow in the Mount
Shasta area early next week. See the previous discussion below
for more details. -BPN

&&

.AVIATION...18/12Z TAFs... Conditions are mix of VFR and valley
LIFR/IFR this morning, including the Klamath Basin. So far, VFR
conditions continue in the Rogue Valley and Umpqua Basin likely due
to higher level cloud cover streaming through. However, conditions
in the Rogue Valley will likely deteriorate to IFR/LIFR by sunrise
due to recent precipitation. Lower conditions are expected to
improve late this morning to VFR for most areas. The exception will
be along the coast, where VFR conditions will gradually lower to
MVFR with terrain obscurations developing. This is due to an
approaching front that will stall along the coast later this
afternoon and evening. /BR-y

&&

.MARINE...Updated 900 AM PST Saturday, 18 December, 2021...A frontal
system will bring strong, gusty south winds and steep seas today
and tonight with gales north of Cape Blanco. Gales may shift to
south of Cape Arago later tonight through Sunday while seas,
dominated by wind wave and fresh swell, continue to build and
likely become very steep. Active weather is expected to continue
next week as broad low pressure stalls offshore, with with seas
continuing to be dominated by fresh southerly swell. BR-y/Spilde

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 317 AM PST Sat Dec 18 2021/

DISCUSSION...18/00Z NAM/GFS/EC in. 18/06Z NAM in.

High and mid level clouds are overspreading the area and limiting
the coverage of low cloud and fog in the west side valleys, but
there is still plenty of low stuff over the east side and northern
California.

The upper level long wave ridge that brought the break in
precipitation is now breaking to the east of the area, and the
upstream trough is moving in.

That trough will weaken as it moves onshore Saturday night (18-19
Dec) as short waves diving down the back side of the trough will
cause a new trough to dig offshore. Eventually this trough will
shear, leaving a cutoff low near 40N 140W Sunday (19 Dec). There
it will remain through at least Monday, although it will wobble
around a bit. Southwest flow aloft will persist over the Pacific
Northwest, which will make the area vulnerable to short waves
ejecting from the low.

The front associated with the trough will begin to move onshore
Saturday (18 Dec). It will stall near the coast as the trough
shears and the upper level support moves back offshore.
Therefore, expect an extended period of precipitation that will
occasionally be enhanced by short waves moving along the frontal
boundary. This pattern will persist through Sunday (19 Dec).

The models are having a difficult time with the strength and
location of the frontal short waves. The range in the model
solutions present a challenge, especially with regard to the
marine forecast, as these variances will make a big difference as
to where the strongest winds and heaviest precipitation will set
up.

The stalling of the front offshore means that the bulk of the
rain in the near term will fall along the coast north of roughly
Port Orford, with several inches of precipitation likely along the
north coast and the Coast Range. Most of this (up to 2 inches)
will fall in a 12 hour period Sunday morning. Other parts of the
west side, such as the south coast, the Umpqua Basin, the
Kalmiopsis, and the northern Cascades will see significant
rain/snow, but it will be lighter. Other areas, such as northern
California, Jackson County, and the entire East Side, will see
little or no precipitation through Sunday night.

This could change though, as the short waves along the front will
be calling the shots here, and deviations from the current
forecast scenario could shift the area of strongest winds and
heaviest precipitation north or south. At this point it does not
look like heavier precipitation will shift inland though.

As far as snow goes, there won't be much of it through Sunday
night. The crest of the Cascades will see up to 6 inches of snow
through Sunday night, but most areas will see less than 3 inches.
Snow levels will be around 6000 feet through Sunday, falling to
4000 feet Sunday night.

Long term discussion from the Friday afternoon AFD...Monday 20 Dec
through through Friday night 24/25 Dec 2021. The week will start
with a southerly flow regime, favoring gusty winds in the Shasta
Valley and areas east of the Cascades, and potentially the Bear
Creek Valley (Ashland north to Medford). This pattern also favors
precipitation along the Curry County coast and in Northern
California, particularly the Mount Shasta area. We are now
advertising gusty winds in the Shasta Valley on Monday in the
forecast. Additionally, a deep low over the Northeast Pacific will
remain fairly stationary through the week, occasionally ejecting
energy and moisture into the forecast area. The first of those
will be Monday night into Tuesday, spreading moderate to
potentially heavy precipitation into Northern California. Snow
levels will likely be right around the Mt Shasta City elevation
(3500 ft), and several inches of snow is in the current forecast
from Monday night through Tuesday at the Mount Shasta City
elevation. Models are suggesting a low to medium impact from this
system, much less significant than the storms earlier this week.
Even though heavier precipitation will be focused over Northern
California Monday night into Tuesday, lesser rain and mountain
snow will still be possible Tuesday in most areas.

Additional systems are likely to impact the forecast area through
the rest of the week.  Eventually, late in the week, the offshore
low likely opens up into an upper trough, and this trough moves
towards the coast. Confidence in this evolution is moderate per the
100 ensemble members of the European, American, and Canadian
ensembles. If the low opens up and pushes eastward, this will allow
for more widespread precipitation to enter Southern Oregon and
Northern California, and as this happens snow levels will likely
lower and the weather impacts will increase as rain and mountain
snow affect a broader portion of the forecast area. Looking a bit
further out in time, the European Ensemble solution for the 10-day
precipitation outlook suggests above normal precipitation for much
of Southern Oregon and Northern California. So, prepare for December
to bring more in the way of rain and mountain snow before the
month's end. -Keene
