AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
807 PM PST SUN DEC 1 2013
.UPDATE...NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST
PACKAGE. MAIN FOCUS OF EFFORTS TONIGHT WILL FOCUS ON THE INCOMING
FRONT AND THE POSSIBLE NEED FOR SNOW HEADLINES FOR THE WEST SIDE.
SEE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR DETAILS.
&&
.AVIATION...WARM FRONTAL MOISTURE IS AFFECTING THE AREA TONIGHT AND
THERE IS A MIX OF VFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS INLAND...WITH MOSTLY IFR
WITH SOME MVFR CONDITIONS AT THE COAST. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL
AFFECT AREAS MAINLY FROM THE CASCADES WESTWARD. RAIN IS SPREADING
INLAND AND MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA. OVERNIGHT...WINDS WILL INCREASE AND IFR CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE AT THE COAST...WHILE CONDITIONS AT INLAND TERMINALS
DROP TO IFR/MVFR. ADDITIONALLY...WINDS AND ASSOCIATED
TURBULENCE...POTENTIALLY SEVERE...WILL INCREASE EAST OF THE
CASCADES AND OVER MOST OF THE HIGH TERRAIN IN THE FORECAST AREA.
FREEZING LEVELS WILL DROP SHARPLY OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING
BEHIND A POTENT COLD FRONT...AND SNOW COULD BEGIN TO REDUCE
VISIBILITIES AROUND WEST SIDE HIGHER TERRAIN AND MUCH OF THE EAST
SIDE BY LATE MONDAY MORNING.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 255 PM PST SUN DEC 1 2013/
CORRECTED TO ADD TURBULENCE WORDING TO AVIATION SECTION.
SHORT TERM...A WARM FRONT IS LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE AREA. THIS IS
BRINGING LIGHT RAIN TO PORTIONS OF THE COAST AND UMPQUA VALLEY,
MAINLY IN NORTHERN COOS AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES. RAIN IS EXPECTED TO
SHIFT SOUTHWARD INTO THE COAST, UMPQUA AND CASCADES THIS EVENING. THEN
A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND
MONDAY.
THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY
PRECIPITATION FROM THE CASCADES WEST MONDAY MORNING INTO MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION ON THE EAST SIDE.
SNOW LEVELS WILL BEGIN AROUND 5500 TO 6000 FEET THEN LOWER WITH
AND BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE . INITIALLY HIGHER MOUNTAIN PASSES
WILL BE IMPACTED BY SNOW MONDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. GREATEST
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED NEAR DIAMOND LAKE AND CRATER LAKE
WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO SEE MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW MONDAY
MORNING INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON, FOLLOWED BY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
MONDAY NIGHT. OTHER AREAS IN THE CASCADES AND SISKIYOUS WILL SEE
LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW AMOUNTS WITH SNOW LEVELS LOWERING DURING
THE DAY MONDAY INTO MONDAY EVENING.
AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES DOWN OVER THE AREA MONDAY EVENING AND
NIGHT IT WILL BRING LIGHT SHOWERS ALONG WITH SNOW LEVELS LOWERING TO
SOME WESTERN VALLEY FLOORS. SHOWERS WILL BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS TO LOWER MOUNTAIN PASSES SUCH AS SEXTON SUMMIT AND
TO SOME WESTERN VALLEYS AND FOOTHILLS. EXPECT MOST WESTERN VALLEY
FLOORS TO SEE A HALF INCH OR LESS OF SNOW. HOWEVER VALLEY
LOCATIONS WHERE UPSLOPE NORTHWEST FLOW IS ENHANCED, SUCH AS NEAR
ASHLAND, MAY SEE UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW. ALSO AREAS IN THE SOUTHERN
OREGON CASCADES FOOTHILLS CAN EXPECT LIGHT SNOW MONDAY NIGHT.
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED AHEAD OF AND WITH THIS
FRONT OVER THE HIGHER MOUNTAINS AND INTO PORTIONS OF THE EAST
SIDE, ESPECIALLY NEAR SUMMER LAKE AREA. WINDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD
OF THE FRONT THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING AND PERSIST INTO
MONDAY AFTERNOON. STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING AS A 700 MB JET OF 60 TO 70 KT MOVES ACROSS THE
AREA FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. WINDS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO DECREASE
BEHIND THE FRONT LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON.
ON TUESDAY A COLD ARCTIC TROUGH DIGS SOUTHWARD WITH NORTHERLY FLOW
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING DRYING CONDITIONS WITH
ONLY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE AREA, MAINLY
FROM THE CASCADES EAST. HOWEVER AS THE COLD ARCTIC AIR MASS
SETTLES INTO THE REGION, EXPECT COLD TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE CWA.
LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE WEEK...WITH BOTH DAYTIME HIGHS
AND OVERNIGHT LOWS 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. LOOKING AT SURFACE
WINDS AND POTENTIAL CLOUD COVER...IT SEEMS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
MORNING WILL FEATURE THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE WEEK DUE TO
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT OVERNIGHT WINDS. A 1972 ARCTIC BLAST
SET MANY OF THE RECORDS FOR DEC 5 UNDER A SIMILAR SITUATION...BUT
SOME LOCATIONS THURSDAY MORNING COULD GET VERY CLOSE TO THOSE
RECORDS...INCLUDING MEDFORD AND ROSEBURG WHERE RECORDS FOR DEC 5
STAND AT 18F. FARTHER EAST...OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP TO NEAR-
ZERO TERRITORY OR BELOW THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MORNING BUT THESE
WONT REACH RECORD VALUES.
THE DIFFICULTY WITH FORECASTING VERY COLD LOW TEMPERATURES IN WEST
SIDE VALLEYS IS CLOUD COVER. EVEN THOUGH MODELS SUGGEST DRY
CONDITIONS AND LIMITED LARGE-SCALE CLOUD COVER...LOCALIZED FREEZING
FOG IS A POSSIBILITY...AND THIS WILL MODERATE TEMPERATURES SOME AND
KEEP US LIKELY IN THE 20S. SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT VERY HIGH ON THE
ABSOLUTE VALUES OF THE LOW TEMPERATURES WEST OF THE CASCADES. EVEN
SO...EVERYONE SHOULD PREPARE THEIR HOUSES/PIPES FOR THE UPCOMING
COLD AIR MASS TO AVOID PREVENTABLE DAMAGE.
MODELS DIVERGE SOME ON WHAT HAPPENS FROM FRIDAY ONWARD. THE EC SHOWS
A SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE HIGH-AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE NORTHEAST
PACIFIC...AND DIVING SOUTH ALONG THE COAST. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A
GOOD CHANCE FOR SNOWFALL ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA...INCLUDING WEST SIDE VALLEYS AND EVEN PERHAPS THE COAST. OF
COURSE THIS SITUATION IS RARE AND THE FORECAST DOES NOT COMPLETELY
REFLECT THIS SOLUTION. ON THE OTHER HAND...THE GFS DEPICTS A MUCH
DRIER AND SOMEWHAT WARMER SOLUTION TO LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE
WEEKEND. WEVE DECIDED TO INCLUDE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW
FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. THIS
SITUATION BEARS MONITORING...AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
WHETHER SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO CONVERGE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO.
AVIATION...BASED ON THE 01/18Z TAF CYCLE.
WARM FRONTAL MOISTURE IS AFFECTING THE AREA TODAY AND THERE IS A MIX
OF VFR AND MVFR CONDITIONS INLAND...WITH MOSTLY IFR CONDITIONS AT
THE COAST. MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL AFFECT AREAS MAINLY FROM THE
CASCADES WESTWARD TODAY. TONIGHT...RAIN SPREADS INLAND AND MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATION WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. IFR
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT THE COAST TONIGHT...WHILE AFTERNOON MVFR/VFR
CONDITIONS AT INLAND TERMINALS DROP TO IFR/MVFR. ADDITIONALLY...WINDS
AND ASSOCIATED TURBULENCE...POTENTIALLY SEVERE...WILL INCREASE
EAST OF THE CASCADES AND OVER MOST OF THE HIGH TERRAIN IN THE
FORECAST AREA. FREEZING LEVELS TONIGHT WILL DROP SHARPLY TONIGHT
AND MONDAY MORNING BEHIND A POTENT COLD FRONT...AND SNOW COULD
BEGIN TO REDUCE VISIBILITIES AROUND WEST SIDE HIGHER TERRAIN AND
MUCH OF THE EAST SIDE BY LATE MONDAY MORNING. SK
