Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
910 PM PST Fri Dec 24 2021

.DISCUSSION...Updated the marine discussion.

25/00Z NAM in. 25/00Z GFS in through 42hr.

A cold air mass is now in place over the Medford CWA with lots of
convection/showers over the area. The 25/00Z KMFR sounding showed
a freezing level of 2700 feet. The convection is intense enough at
times to support snow levels well below that, down to around 1000
feet or so. More cold air is coming to reinforce what is already
in place.

A long wave upper trough will remain over the Pacific Northwest
through Sunday night. Every time the trough starts to progress
east, a short wave diving down the back side of the trough pulls
it back to the west. This will maintain the showery environment
with progressively lowering snow levels. The snow level will drop
to around 1500 feet tonight, then down to sea level Saturday
night. It will rise to 500-1000 feet Sunday, then head back down
to below 500 feet Sunday night. There it will stay through Monday
night.

The short waves will bring rounds of showers to the area, some of
which will be quite strong, and thunderstorms are possible as
well.

As far as timing of the precipitation goes, shower activity will
hit a peak tonight, resulting in heavy snowfall across Siskiyou
County and the Cascades. There will be a relative lull Saturday
(Christmas Day) morning and afternoon for most locations. During
this lull afternoon temperatures in west side valleys could warm
above freezing and any snow that did accumulate overnight could
melt. The lull will be less pronounced over the Cascades and
Coast Range because these ranges accumulate more snow in westerly
flow, which is the regime we will be in. Snow levels will fall to
1500 feet tonight and remain there through Saturday.

The next short wave will bring even colder air to the area Saturday
evening through Sunday morning along with another round of
showers. Snow levels will plunge to sea level. It will rise to
500-1000 feet Sunday, then head back down to below 500 feet
Sunday night. There it will stay through Monday night. There is a
40% probability that the coastal beaches will get 1" of snow or
more. All areas will likely see the greatest accumulation of this
whole event Sunday night.

Due to all the snow, Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather
Advisories are in effect across the area. See PDXWSWMFR for the
latest information and details.

The trough will finally head off east Monday, and strong and cold
northerly flow will develop over the area. Short waves embedded
in the northerly flow will continue moving through Monday into
Tuesday, but they will not be as strong as the weekend waves.
Therefore, showers will diminish, but not end completely. It will
be quite cold though.

Significant travel impacts are expected through Monday morning
with this cold and active weather. Travelers should be prepared
for significant impacts including snow over all inland areas
through Monday, and even the the coastal beaches both Saturday
and Sunday night. Even during the lull on Saturday, gusty winds
will still actively create snow drifts and blowing snow that will
lead to reduced visibilities. Travel could be very difficult to
impossible at times and road closures are possible. Anyone
traveling today through Monday should check road conditions before
leaving, carry a winter emergency kit, and if possible, consider
alternate travel plans during periods of heavy snow.

Long term discussion from the Friday afternoon AFD...Mon 27 Dec
through Friday 31 Dec 2021. An upper level shortwave will
gradually shift eastward on Monday leaving a broad upper trough
across the Western U.S. with cold, northerly flow over the area.
Tuesday and Wednesday, an even colder airmass will move into the
PacNW as a couple low pressure centers move down the coast. Models
indicate the potential for light showers on Tuesday and Wednesday
as these disturbances moves southward, with low snow levels down
to lower valley floors and rain/snow mix or some snow down to
beaches at times. However, models indicate very low snow
accumulations during this period. Morning/nighttime lows will fall
into the single digits east of the Cascades Monday night through
Wednesday morning with some valley locations possibly dropping
below zero, with near record temperatures possible. West of the
Cascades, expect temperatures in the 20s across western valleys
and in the lower 30s near the coast. Exactly how cold temperatures
get will depend on the timing/track of the disturbances moving in
and how much clouds develop over the area during the nighttime
and early morning periods. Clear skies Monday night/Tuesday
morning and Tuesday night/Wednesday morning would result in
better radiational cooling and favor the colder solutions.

Late Wednesday into Wednesday night, as these disturbances exit to
the south, a drier but continued cold air mass will remain over the
area. Thursday into Friday another front moving down from the north
will bring additional chances for precipitation. -CC

&&

.AVIATION...25/00Z TAFs...A cold, showery air mass will persist
through Saturday afternoon. This will produce variable conditions
with rain/snow, mountain obscurations, mainly MVFR cigs/vis,
local/occasional IFR cigs/vis, and freezing levels around
1500-2500 feet MSL. Precipitation breaks should briefly be more
widespread early in the morning leaving the possibility of LIFR
fog or freezing fog in valleys. Additionally, there is a slight
chance of thunderstorms over the coastal waters to the immediate
coast, especially early this evening. -DW

&&

.MARINE...Updated 830 PM PST Friday, 24 December, 2021...A slight
chance of thunderstorms will continue over the waters this weekend.
Winds and seas are diminishing behind a front. But, seas will remain
very steep tonight due to ongoing large northwest swell. Steep to
very steep seas then accompany a series of unusually cold
disturbances during the weekend, with rain possibly changing over to
snow across the waters Sunday and Monday. Seas could become very
steep once again early Sunday into Sunday evening. The pattern is
expected to remain active early next week, with additional periods
of steep to very steep seas possible with each passing system.
