Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
946 AM PST Tue Feb 16 2021

.Updated Marine and Aviation Discussion.

.UPDATE...
An update to the forecast for today through tonight was made a
short time ago and sent to the internet. The primary update to the
forecast was to lower precipitation probabilities for today and
tonight, especially south of the Umpqua Divide.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Showers continue in northwest flow with returns on KMAX over ne
Jackson County northward. These showers are generally on the
decrease, but another round of them are moving onto the coast and
into the Coastal Mountains. Expect showers to ebb and flow today
in the same general area where they are now, with a bit of an
uptick in coverage and intensity this afternoon into early this
evening along the Cascades and in Douglas County. Higher sun angle
heating the road surfaces should diminish road impacts from
showers across the Cascades after about 10 AM PST this morning, so
expect we'll be letting the Winter Weather Advisory expire
accordingly.

It will be a cold night tonight as skies clear some. This will
result in fog and freezing fog in many valley areas for Wednesday
morning. The next significant weather maker is expected with
another round of valley rain and mountain snow Thursday into
Friday. ~BTL

&&

.AVIATION...For the 16/18Z TAF Cycle...VFR conditions are expected
to be the predominate condition through this evening. However could
not rule out partial mountain obscuration, especially in isolated
showers. If there's enough clearing this evening and tonight, then
IFR/LIFR conditions will be possible for west side valleys tonight
into Wednesday. Current guidance does not suggest low clouds and fog
will develop probably due to little of any clearing tonight, but
ridging and surface high pressure building in tonight should be
sufficient enough for some clearing to take place. East of the
Cascades including Klamath Falls, VFR conditions are expected
through the TAF period. -Petrucelli

&&

.MARINE...Updated 900 AM PST Tuesday 16 Feb 2021...Winds will
continue to diminish today with relatively quiet conditions expected
this evening through Wednesday. However seas are expected to remain
elevated enough for small craft conditions to continue into at least
Wednesday afternoon.

Conditions worsen later Thursday morning as a strong front
approaches the region. Southerly winds increase Thursday morning,
peaking during the afternoon. Currently it looks like winds will
remain below gales, but areas of gale force gusts aren't out of the
question. Seas, however, will become wind driven and will likely be
very steep and hazardous as the front moves through the area. A
hazardous seas watch remains in effect for late Thursday morning and
afternoon for areas beyond 10 nm from shore and from Pistol River
northward.

Beyond Thursday, active weather will continue into the weekend but
the fronts will be weaker than the Thursday system. Seas will remain
elevated as moderate northwest swell trains move through during the
weekend. /BR-y/Petrucelli

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 401 AM PST Tue Feb 16 2021/

DISCUSSION...Moist, onshore flow and northwest flow aloft will
continue to bring some showers mainly along and west of the
Cascades today with snow levels as low as 2500 feet. Due to snow
overnight and ongoing snow-covered, slippery roadways, a winter
weather advisory continues until 10 am PST over the Cascades. But,
additional accumulations should be in the 1 to 3 inch range. Windy
conditions over the east side last evening have mostly diminished.
We lowered the warnings to an advisory portions of Zone 31,
including the Summer Lake area, but we may be able to drop this
as recent surface observations have indicated winds dropping below
advisory levels. Snow showers will continue into tonight in the
mountains bringing additional light snow accumulations there, but
these will gradually taper off and end as upper ridging builds in
from the Pacific on Wednesday. Clearing skies this evening will
lead to a colder night tonight in many areas, but this will also
result in fog, freezing fog/low cloud development for some areas
west of the Cascades. A frost advisory was considered for the
coast, but with lows in the mid to upper 30s at Brookings/North
Bend, we don't expect long enough duration for widespread frost.
Patchy frost is possible in some of the typically colder interior
valleys near Agness and Myrtle Point.

Dry weather will take hold in all areas on Wednesday with the
ridge axis pushing onshore. Expect at least partial sunshine
(after any early low clouds/fog). Overall, high temperatures will
be fairly typical for mid-February, though just a touch below
normal. Meanwhile, easterly flow over the ridges will dry out the
lower levels of the atmosphere above the inversion.

A progressive pattern will continue as the ridge axis shifts to
the east Wednesday night. This will allow a fast-moving frontal
system to reach the coast Thursday. This looks like a fairly
classic West Coast frontal system with a warm front followed
quickly by a cold front. Precipitation will arrive with the warm
front Thursday and will be accompanied by a surge in snow levels.
Initially, since it will be cold Wednesday night, this has the
look that if precipitation arrives early enough, it could start
off as mixed precipitation as low as 2500 feet Thursday morning.
But, snow levels will rise quickly above 5000 feet by Thursday
afternoon (except in the Mt Shasta region, where snow levels will
be around 4000 feet). The cold front will push onshore Thursday
night where just about everywhere in the CWA gets wet. Rain
amounts along the coast will range from 0.75 of an inch in the
north to 2.50 inches in the Coast Ranges of Curry County. Expect
some enhanced precip into the Cascades as well (around 1.00 inch
liquid equivalent), but with some shadowing in the west wide
valleys where 0.25-0.50 of an inch is likely. Snow amounts will be
6-12 inches in the Cascades, mainly from Lake of the Woods north.
Impacts on I-5 should be minimal due to the expected rise in snow
levels.

Snow levels will drop behind the cold front back to around 3500
feet Friday, then 2500 feet Friday night. This time period will be
cool and showery as an upper trough moves through. Gusty winds
are expected east of the Cascades Friday, but they should remain
below advisory criteria. The passes along the Cascades and
Siskiyou Summit could see accumulating snow if showers are heavy
enough. Otherwise, now that the sun angle is getting higher with
longer daylight hours, road temperatures will likely warm up
enough to keep accumulating snow in check or in some cases remain
wet.

We'll then be in moist, NW onshore flow. The upper trough exits to
the east on Saturday, but showers will linger, especially from the
Cascades N&W. Heights continue to rise Saturday night into Sunday.
A warm front is expected to move into the area Sunday. Some light
precipitation could graze the area especially along and west of
the Cascades, but we are NOT expecting significant QPF.

The warm front will lift north Sunday night into Monday with a dirty
ridge remaining over the area. The storm track should be far enough
north and we could end up dry for most of not the whole day Monday.
More of the individual ECMWF members are showing little to no QPF on
Monday, especially in northern Cal where there is a better chance
for dry weather. -Spilde
