What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Nov 5, 9:08 AM PDT, 5 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
908 AM PDT Fri Nov 5 2021
.UPDATE...
The cold front and band of rain is pushing onshore this morning.
The forecast remains on track with a near 100% chance of rain for
many locations today and this evening as the front pushes
eastwards. The forecast still calls for 2 to 5 inches of snow
around and above 5500 feet through today as the front passes
through.

.DISCUSSION.../Issued 349 AM PDT Fri Nov 5 2021/
Early morning satellite imagery is showing a potent cold front
heading toward the coast. Radar shows precip developing over the
marine waters and hi-res guidance depicts a narrow cold frontal
rain band (NCFR) moving onshore between 5 and 8 am PDT. Not all
fronts have these distinct convective rain bands associated with
them, but they can produce a short burst of intense rainfall along
with some gusty winds. Usually, within the NCFR, the stronger
winds and heavier precip doesn't last much more than 20-40 minutes
in any given spot, but they can be associated with a fairly quick
temp drop/wind shift and also a pressure rise behind them. Precip
behind the NCFR can linger 1-3 hours. Once the NCFR pushes
onshore, it should lose its definition fairly quickly as it
traverses the coast ranges and into the Umpqua Basin/Rogue Valley
by late morning. The front will push east of the Cascades later
this afternoon/evening with most precipitation falling apart by
the time it reaches eastern Lake/Modoc counties. Snow levels will
be around 5000 feet or so and even though we are expecting some
accumulating snow over the mountains, with precipitation mostly
coming during the day, we're not expecting significant impacts.
Overall, 2-5 inches of snow will occur above 5500 feet, with an
inch or so down a little lower (5000 feet) north of Highway 140.
Please check out TVLMFR for pass specific forecasts.
Though scattered showers will linger behind the front this
evening, many areas will have a period of dry weather. A
secondary cold front will approach the coast quickly though this
evening with showers becoming more numerous there along with
isolated thunderstorms. The front will move onshore overnight,
then east of the Cascades early Saturday morning with post-frontal
showers continuing Saturday afternoon. We're not expecting
convection to get very far inland, but a few rumbles of thunder
could be heard in portions of western Douglas and interior
Coos/Curry counties. With snow levels just a bit lower and
precipitation coming at night, this front will likely bring a
little more snow to the mountains. But again, most of the
accumulating snow will be above 5500 feet, where 2 to 6 inches is
a good bet. Right now, we're forecasting 1-2 inches of snow over
the pass on Highway 140 (near Lake of the Woods), so be aware of
potential slippery roads up there first thing Saturday morning.
Moist, onshore flow will continue Saturday evening into Sunday as
colder air aloft filters into the PacNW. Snow levels will
gradually fall to around 4000 feet by Saturday evening, then down
to around 3000 feet by Sunday morning. Coverage of showers will
gradually diminish during this time frame with east side areas
drying out completely. The focus of activity will be along and
west of the Cascades, favoring west-facing higher terrain and the
coast. Even though snow levels drop significantly, precipitation
amounts shouldn't be too high with snow amounts generally 2
inches or less. Model guidance shows a break in between systems
Sunday night into Monday morning with the slimmest of rain
chances lingering west of the Cascades and along the coast.
Then, another potent short wave disturbance will rotate around
the southern periphery of a deep Gulf of Alaska upper trough and
move onshore Monday night into Tuesday. Models are showing a
rather deep surface low (of varying intensity) moving northward
just offshore during this period. Right now, it's still a bit
early to say with certainty just what impacts will come from this
storm system. But, we're likely due for another period of moderate
to heavy precipitation in some areas, snow levels that'll start
out lower than they have all season so far, and there's likely to
be strong winds. Guidance is currently showing a mid-level jet of
55-70kt moving over the area and this would make wind headlines
necessary in many of the usual locations (Shasta Valley, East Side
and perhaps the coast, maybe also Rogue Valley). Precipitation
could be potentially heavy in portions of SW Oregon and in
northern California (most coming in a 6-12 hr period Mon night).
We'll need to pay attention to rainfall rates again for area burn
scars, but these probably won't reach the thresholds needed for
flash flooding/debris flows. Upslope flow may enhance precip in
the Mt. Shasta region and may also locally lower the nearby snow
levels Monday night. As it stands right now, snow levels are
forecast to be around 4000 feet as precip moves in Monday night
resulting in some winter impacts, but mainly above I-5. Mid-
level flow shifts from southerly to westerly and eases up Tuesday
morning. That should allow precipitation to taper off to showers
and winds to ease.
The unsettled pattern continues into mid next week with moist,
onshore flow. However, model guidance is hinting at potential
ridge amplification later next week, which would deflect the storm
track farther to the north and result in a period of drier, milder
weather here (albeit at the expense of low clouds/fog). We'll
wait and see about this too, however, since what often happens
this time of year is the ridge ends up flatter with disturbances
riding over the top, which could result in higher chances of rain.

.AVIATION...05/12Z TAFs...Initially VFR conditions will prevail with
areas of higher terrain obscured. A front will move onshore later
this morning. It will bring areas of MVFR cigs and light to moderate
rain from the Cascades west with higher terrain obscured. The front
will gradually weaken as it moves across the west side Friday
morning. VFR conditions will persist east of the Cascades, but
precipitation will develop there Friday afternoon with areas of
higher terrain becoming obscured. Another front will move onshore
Friday evening, bringing another round of areas of MVFR cigs and
light to moderate rain from the Cascades west.
&&
.MARINE...Updated 200 AM PDT Friday 5 November 2021...An active
pattern will continue, with a series of fronts producing steep to
very steep seas through the first half of next week. The next
front will move onshore later this morning, followed by another
Friday night. More weak fronts will move onshore through the
weekend.
Uncertainty in the forecast increases beyond the weekend, but
stronger fronts are possible late Monday into Tuesday and also
around Wednesday. Each may produce an episode of short period south
to southwest wind wave and fresh swell with seas possibly
approaching 20 ft at 10 seconds.
