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 20, 8:46 AM PST, 5 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 8:46 AM PST, 5 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
846 AM PST Mon Feb 20 2023

.DISCUSSION...The forecast for today is mostly on track. There are
some low clouds in the deeper west side valleys, like near Grants
Pass and also near Roseburg, but these should break up for partial
sunshine this afternoon. The rest of the area will have a mild
afternoon with some high cloudiness filtering the sunshine. Things
will change significantly over the next 24 hours. We'll be
updating the host of winter/wind headlines that we have out for
the next front expected to arrive tonight and move south through
the area on Tuesday. So, be on the lookout for that in the next
little while. We're still expecting plenty of snow in the
mountains, and, eventually some accumulating snow for the lowlands
west of the Cascades (starting as early as late Tuesday morning,
but more likely for the Medford/Grants Pass areas Tuesday night).
The remainder of the week, even by late winter's standards, is
going to be cold. Low pressure moving down the coast Wednesday
night into Thursday still poses a decent threat for lowland snow
west of the Cascades and even the potential for accumulating snow
down to some area beaches. The proximity of this low to the coast
will have a large impact on just how much precipitation will fall
into the cold air already in place. At the very least, I envision
winter weather advisories for this, but, for clarity, we'll
probably allow the current suite of winter products to run their
course before adding new headlines to the mix. The low will move
southward into California Thursday night into Friday. There is at
least a small chance that some of the precipitation associated
with this low surges into southern Siskiyou County (esp. near the
Trinity border and Mt. Shasta region) during this time period, but
the bulk of it will impact the Sac Valley and over to the Sierra.
A more continental air mass will arrive to the north, so where it
clears, it will get really cold. Some of the typically colder
spots of northern Klamath/Lake Counties will likely have low
temps of 5 below to 5 above zero. Upper ridging will build in
later Friday through Friday night, so that may actually be the
coldest night of the stretch. -Spilde

&&

.AVIATION...20/12Z TAFs...Along the coast, MVFR cigs are expected
today, mainly from Cape Blanco north.  Valley fog with IFR/LIFR
conditions is present in northwest and central Douglas County,
including KRBG, and in the Coquille Valley. Valley fog will
gradually clear late this morning to VFR. Elsewhere, across inland
areas VFR conditions are expected through this afternoon, with high
clouds ahead of the next system. A front will move in from the north
with IFR/MVFR conditions spreading along the coast and inland into
Coos and northwest Douglas counties this evening, then areas of
MVFR/IFR will spread inland  Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Widespread mountain obscurations will develop from the Cascades west
tonight into Tuesday morning with areas of mountain obscurations
developing late Tuesday morning east of the Cascades. -CC

&&

.MARINE...Updated 830 AM Monday, February 20, 2023...Strong north
winds south of Cape Blanco will gradually decrease through the
day. But, seas will remain steep across all the waters this
morning.

The lower seas Monday evening will be brief as a very strong
northwest swell moves into the outer coastal waters on Tuesday and
pushes to the inner waters Tuesday night. This will be accompanied
by a strong cold front moving down the coast on Tuesday.

This front is expected to bring northwest gales and very high and
steep seas to the area Tuesday into Wednesday. The swell that will
arrive behind this front has been consistently shown to arrive at a
period of 13 to 14 seconds, keeping it 1 to 2 seconds below our
criteria for a long period swell. However, the forecasted peak to
peak of 17 to 22 feet Tuesday night into Wednesday morning would
meet the criteria for very high and very steep seas. Very steep seas
are likely to persist into Thursday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 325 AM PST Mon Feb 20 2023/

SYNOPSIS...The main gist of the forecast remains the same. Strong
upper ridging well offshore will continue moving westward today,
allowing a potent disturbance to arrive into the PacNW tonight. A
sharp cold front will then pass through SW Oregon and NorCal on
Tuesday, carving out a deep upper trough over the PacNW mid-late
week resulting in a very cold air mass even by late winter
standards. This will result in a high probability of accumulating
snow at low elevations west of the Cascades Tuesday night into
Wednesday (down to around 500 feet). There is even a fairly decent
chance at accumulating snow all the way to sea level at some point
(most likely Wednesday night into Thursday) as a closed upper low
wobbles down the coast.

DISCUSSION...High level cloud cover is abundant this morning east
of the Cascades and this is keeping temperatures there around 5 to
10 degrees warmer than this time yesterday morning. West of the
Cascades, cirrus is a bit thinner and there are some low level
clouds in the Umpqua and Coquille Basins as well as along the coast
north of Cape Blanco. With the exception of the increased cloud
cover this morning, conditions today will be quite similar to those
of recent days. After a relatively cool start to the morning, expect
mild temperatures this afternoon, with dry conditions continuing for
most areas through this afternoon. Today will be a transition day,
however, as a front approaches from the north late in the day,
bringing increasing chances of precipitation late this afternoon
into the overnight period and a drastic change to much colder
temperatures with widespread wintry weather.

A sharp front will reach the PacNW tonight and a strong mid-upper
jet associated with this system will cause strengthening southwest
to west winds in advance of it, first over the mountains and east
side tonight, then all areas on Tuesday. Wind gusts of 35-55 mph
will be common, highest over the usual areas of the East Side, like
highway 31 from Silver Lake to Paisley. Wind advisories have been
hoisted for areas east of the Cascades for late tonight into
Tuesday, and details can be found at NPWMFR. There could be isolated
areas of warning level winds across the highest terrain east of the
Cascades, but this should be short lived. It will be gusty area wide
on Tuesday, but this has been accounted for in the winter weather
products. Winds will shift to west-northwest behind the front by
Tuesday afternoon, and should ease Tuesday evening as the core of
the jet shifts south and east.

As for precipitation, there will likely be a period of rain arriving
at the coast late tonight that transitions to showers there on
Tuesday. With the cold air mass moving in aloft, any of the heavier
showers could result in lightning and small hail. Initially, as
precipitation arrives tonight, snow levels will start around 5000
ft, then quickly lower to around 2000 ft by Tuesday morning. Snow
levels will continue to lower to around 1500 by Tuesday afternoon,
then likely reach western valley floors Tuesday night. Heavy
precipitation associated with the front over the mountains Tuesday,
with potential snowfall rates of 1" per hour at times, will likely
lead to travel issues through the higher mountain passes. Then,
we'll see impacts increasing for the lower passes north of Grants
Pass and Camas Mountain by late Tuesday morning, and then impacts
become more widespread for the afternoon/evening commute. Though
strong westerly winds will result in lesser snow amounts east of the
Cascades (due to downsloping effects), there could be some spillover
precipitation along the Highway 97 corridor from the intersection of
138 northward to Crescent/La Pine. This combined with strong winds
could cause dangerous conditions with significantly reduced
visibility. Rain will be the primary precipitation type for much of
Tuesday for the lower valley floors, but expect a transition to snow
after sunset Tuesday as snow levels drop to around 500 feet with
potential winter impacts at valley floors through Wednesday morning.
Very similar to the Valentine's Day event, there is a high
probability (70-90%) for accumulating snow (>=0.1") to occur at
elevations down to around 500 feet Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning. NBM probabilities of >=1" of snow in Medford/Grants
Pass/Roseburg areas are still at 40-60%. There is a plethora of
winter weather headlines in effect for the anticipated impacts, and
details can be found at WSWMFR.

As we've mentioned before, since late February sun angles are
increasing, low elevations west of the Cascades probably won't see
much road snow accumulation during the afternoon Wednesday (road
surface temps rise into the mid 40s), despite snow levels remaining
low enough to support snow showers. The exception will be in heavier
snow showers where it could result in brief slushy roads, before
melting once again as heavier showers move away or ease up in
intensity. Despite the longer days this time of year, this will be a
very cold air mass and several record low maximum (daytime highs)
temperatures stand to be threatened. For context, recent high
temperatures have been on par with normal for this time of year.
High temperatures Tuesday through Thursday, however, will only reach
into the low 40s west of the Cascades and mid 20s to low 30s east of
the Cascades. These values will be on the order of 15 to 20 degrees
below normal, and colder than what is typically normal during the
deep winter period (late December/early January).

Wintry weather continues Wednesday night into Thursday. Guidance
continues to show a closed low wobbling southward just offshore
during this time period and with very low snow levels. So, we'll at
least maintain the potential for snow showers near and west of the
Cascades and some light snow accumulations at lower elevations. But,
this could also result in snow showers and possible accumulating
snow down to the beaches. Confidence remains low in the details at
this time due to discrepancies in how close to shore this low
tracks. Regardless, winter weather advisories will likely be needed
for portions of the coast and coastal mountains for this
climatologically rare event.

Models show the closed low moving southward offshore of NorCal
Thursday night into Friday and most precipitation should exit to the
south (lingering snow showers still possible in NorCal). With
partial clearing and any fresh snow cover, it will get very cold
Friday morning. Low are expected to be in the -5 below to 10 above
zero range for most areas east of the Cascades with teens and 20s
west of the Cascades.

Saturday should be dry and cold to start, but temperatures likely
moderate a bit in the afternoon (compared to late week cold). The
next disturbance could arrive Saturday night or Sunday.
-Spilde/BR-y

AVIATION...20/12Z TAFs...VFR conditions will remain the predominant
conditions through this evening, with high clouds ahead of the next
system. A few patches of valley IFR are possible early Monday
morning in Coos and Douglas counties, including near North Bend and
Roseburg. The front will move in from the north with IFR spreading
to the coast during Monday evening, then inland late Monday night
into Tuesday. -DW/Miles

MARINE...Updated 100 AM Monday, February 20, 2023...Strong north
winds south of Cape Blanco  will gradually decrease through the day.
But, seas will remain steep across all the waters this morning.

The lower seas Monday evening will be brief as a very strong
northwest swell moves into the outer coastal waters on Tuesday and
pushes to the inner waters Tuesday night. This will be accompanied
by a strong cold front moving down the coast on Tuesday.

This front is expected to bring northwest gales and very high and
steep seas to the area Tuesday into Wednesday. The swell that will
arrive behind this front has been consistently shown to arrive at a
period of 13 to 14 seconds, keeping it 1 to 2 seconds below our
criteria for a long period swell. However, the forecasted peak to
peak of 17 to 22 feet Tuesday night into Wednesday morning would
meet the criteria for very high and very steep seas. Very steep seas
are likely to persist into Thursday.

BEACH HAZARDS...Updated 100 AM Monday, February 20, 2023...
Heavy swell will lead to high surf conditions Tuesday afternoon and
last through Wednesday night. While the entire Southern Oregon
coastline is expected to have average breaker heights of 20 to 25
feet, northwest facing portions of the shoreline are anticipated to
have the highest breaking waves. These breaking waves are expected
to create hazardous conditions along and within the surf zone, and
could inundate beaches and low lying shorelines, leading to erosion
in those areas. Take action now to reinforce or remove
infrastructure from the surf zone, as waves this size may also
damage exposed infrastructure.
