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 Dec 18, 8:12 PM PST, 5 hours 23 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 18, 8:12 PM PST, 5 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
812 PM PST Sat Dec 18 2021
&&
.DISCUSSION...An upper level low is currently over Vancouver
Island, Canada. From this area of low pressure a stationary front
can be analyses from roughly Yakima, in south-central Washington
southwest through Portland, OR and then towards Hawaii. Being on
the southern side of this front the chance for rain is limited,
but on the northern side, a plume of moisture stretching from
Hawaii is bring heavy rainfall (with minor flooding) to the rest
of the PNW.
The pressure gradient (North-South) caused by this front is
bringing modestly gusty winds (~30 mph) to areas of higher
terrain. 6-hour rain totals have been under 0.2" and more
frequently below 0.1".
Over the next 24hrs the upper level low will push east across
British Columbia as another upper level low moves northeast along
the stationary front towards N. California. This will leave the
stationary front...stationary, barely listing south to Cape
Blanco. By the time it does drift south to Cape Blanco, it
actually starts to wrap around the north side of this second low,
pulling it slowly away from the region. This slow re-wrapping
process will maintain a high chance for rain along the coast
(between 1.5" and 2.5" between coast and coast ranges) and higher
terrain north of the Umpqua Divide (0.5" to 1.0"), but means
other inland locations have a very low, if not zero chance for
rain. However, winds will remain elevated and gusty across the
entire area's higher terrain and in the Shasta Valley as the
front impressively maintains its form and thus the pressure
gradient driven winds.
Because this front doesn't move over the region, we will also stay
in a 'relatively' warm sector of air. This will keep snow levels
elevated above ~5000+ feet, and accumulating snow to only the
higher ridges and peaks through Monday (12/20). This opens a
window for Monday to be one of the best days this week for any
early holiday travel over mountain passes.
More impactful weather is expected in the extended portion of the
forecast period and information on that can be found in the
discussion below and in the weather story graphics found on the
weather.gov/mfr main page. -Miles

.AVIATION...19/00Z TAFs... A front will shift southward bringing
IFR/MVFR cigs and precipitation to the coastal areas and into the
Umpqua basin this evening and tonight, continuing on Sunday. The
precipitation is expected to be heavy at times along the coast with
MVFR/IFR visibilities at times tonight and Sunday morning. This
front will remain along the coast tonight into Sunday, so expect
inland areas south of the Umpqua divide and inland of the coastal
mountains to see little precipitation. So overnight and Sunday
morning, expect areas of LIFR/IFR cigs/vis to develop in many other
inland valleys. -CC

.MARINE...Updated 800 PM PST Saturday, 18 December, 2021...As a
front gradually shifts southward along the coast then stalls along
the northern Coos coast this evening into tonight, southerly gales
and very steep, short period seas are expected across much of the
waters from Gold Beach northward. South winds remain near or at gale
force with very steep seas for many areas late tonight into Sunday
morning. However, as the frontal position shifts slightly southward,
expect a period of north winds to develop in the northern waters
late tonight and Sunday morning, mainly for areas north of Coos Bay
and for the outer waters beyond 40 nm from shore between Cape Blanco
and Coos Bay.
On Sunday morning, as a low pressure center nears the coast, the
front will shift northward and winds will increase with southerly
gales developing across most the waters by late Sunday morning and
continuing into Sunday night. Very steep, hazardous short period
seas are expected for all areas during this time period. Winds will
gradually lower on Monday and Monday night but may see gales
persist across portions of the area on Monday. High and very steep
seas will linger on Monday across the waters with the highest and
steepest seas beyond 5 nm from shore. By Tuesday, seas will trend
lower and become dominated by 10 to 12 second southerly swell.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 247 PM PST Sat Dec 18 2021/
LONG TERM...Monday (12/20) through Christmas Day...Very strong
upper ridging will be centered out near 160W south of the Aleutian
Islands next week. Periodic disturbances coming over the top the
ridge will maintain and feed into a deep upper trough set up
along/just off the PacNW coast. This will lead to multiple days of
unsettled weather in portions of southern Oregon and especially
northern California.
Enhanced southerly mid-level flow is expected on the front side of
this system in NorCal and southern Oregon Monday into Tuesday,
resulting in some gusty winds for the usual locations (Shasta Valley
and southern Rogue Valley, East Side). While some wind impacts are
possible, pressure gradients aren't overly impressive. As a result,
would think advisories should cover that risk. In terms of snow, the
first upper disturbance/frontal system will finally move onshore
Tuesday and southerly upslope flow could lead to a several hour
period of snow in NorCal, particularly the Mt. Shasta region. Right
now, amounts look to be in the 3-5 inch range centered on Tuesday
morning for I-5 south of Weed. The snow level should be 2500 feet in
NorCal and 3000-3500 feet in southern Oregon. In these types of
southerly flow events, due to downslope flow, we just don't get much
precipitation north of the OR/CA border. So, we're not anticipating
much more than an inch or two of snow elsewhere.
A second impulse will likely arrive Wednesday followed quickly by
another on Thursday. This will lead to another surge in wind and
precipitation, favored along the coast and again in NorCal. Once
again, we expect snow levels to be above the lower passes, largely
in the 3000-4000 foot range. So, the main trouble areas will be
along the I-5 passes south of Medford, but especially around Mt.
Shasta. Right now, it looks like the one arriving Thursday will be
the stronger of the two with a better chance for significant
snow/wind impacts on I-5 then. However, given the active nature of
the pattern, lots can change between now and then. So, keep checking
back for updates.
Eventually, the long wave trough is forecast to move onshore
Thursday night and into next weekend. This will likely result in a
lowering of snow levels (down to around 2000 feet) just in time for
Christmas. Just how much moisture will be around when that occurs
will be something to watch over the coming days. -Spilde
