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 Feb 2, 9:00 AM PST, 5 hours 30 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 2, 9:00 AM PST, 5 hours 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
900 AM PST Tue Feb 2 2021
.DISCUSSION...The main forcus this morning was the transition of
the Flood Watch for the Coquille at Coquille to a Flood Warning.
This was due to the the river peaking at high tide, which could
could cause it to back up and be over the minor flood stage by
half to one foot. Once the high tide receeds, the flood threat
should be over.
Moderate showers continue from a focused band of moisture in
Western Siskiyou County and Mt. Shasta areas. Hir-res and
deterministic guidance is in good agreement that the showers will
taper off after 10 AM PST. Water vapor imagery shows there is
still plenty of upstream moisture, but rising snow levels will
lessen the impact of remaining snow showers. Snow levels should
rise above 3500 feet in Western Siskiyou County and around 4000
feet in Central Siskiyou County.
The remainder of the forecast appears on track. The next front
will enter the area later tonight. Details on this can be found
below from the previous discussion. -Miles
&&
.AVIATION...For the 02/12Z TAFs...VFR conditions are expected to be
the predominate condition today. However could not rule out brief
MVFR ceilings with terrain partly obscured in showers this morning.
Winds should begin to ramp back later this evening and tonight as
the next front approaches. There's a chance for Low level wind shear
at Roseburg and Medford towards the end of the TAF period, but
confidence was not high enough to include it in the TAF's.
-Petrucelli
&&
.MARINE...Updated 800 AM PST Tuesday 2 Feb 2021...There will be a
relative lull in the winds today, although remaining breezy and seas
remaining elevated today. This afternoon, winds and seas will
increase again as the next front begins to make its way through the
coastal waters. The front will move onshore late tonight. Winds are
expected to remain in the small craft advisory level. Could not rule
out brief gales in the northern waters for a few hours late this
evening and tonight. If nothing else, hazardous seas warning
conditions are expected to expand further south, but still remaining
north of Cape Blanco.
Offshore high pressure will build Wednesday along with a thermal
trough near the coast. This will produce gusty north winds and steep
seas across the area, especially south of Cape Blanco. This pattern
will persist into early next week. -Petrucelli/BR-y
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 418 AM PST Tue Feb 2 2021/
DISCUSSION...
Yesterday's winds will be the last strong southerly flow event
for the next week or so as deep flow turns westerly today and
eventually northerly later this week. Snow continues as well with
this front, with snow levels now at 4000 feet per recent webcams
showing snow at Siskiyou Summit on Interstate 5. Snow this
morning will be focused over the Cascades, Siskiyous, and the
Mount Shasta region. Snow levels will continue to lower through
the morning as showers diminish through the day.
The airmass behind the front significantly heading into the next
system tonight into Wednesday, and the low's trajectory, north to
south along the Oregon coastline today, should bring snow down to
at least 2000 feet by Wednesday morning. Prepare for wintry
travel conditions at mountain passes as early as tonight, and
potentially over lower passes like Sexton/Canyon Creek on
Interstate 5/Hayes Hill on Highway 199. Right now per the latest
data and historical valley snow patterns the air mass doesn't look
quite cold enough to bring snow to valley floors of the
Rogue/Illinois/Applegate Valleys but it's not too far from it, so
it's within the realm of possibility that snow may briefly reach
lower elevations at times. This will be a relatively quick moving
system compared to recent fronts that have stalled in the region,
resulting in about a 12 hour period of snowfall.
An upper ridge then nudges into the region, brining a dry pattern
with morning west side valley fog with a weak thermal trough
bringing north winds to the coast and coastal waters. A weak
front moves through the Pacific Northwest Friday, but
precipitation should remain north of the forecast area. This upper
ridge slowly flattens through the weekend with a possible return
to a wet pattern early next week. Sven
