Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
341 AM PST Thu Feb 9 2017
.DISCUSSION...A high-impact wind and rain event is underway. I'll
first detail the wind situation. South to north pressure
gradients are increasing across the forecast area. South wind of
50kt has been observed in the lowest levels scanned the North
Bend profiling radar, which is uncommon and indicative of how
strong the wind field is. Additionally, 10 observation sites
across 8 counties have recorded gusts of 57 mph or greater
overnight. Power outages have been noted in Bandon due to
wind/tree damage. The coastal strong winds will ease some late
this morning and afternoon, while some areas east of the Cascades
will experience high winds through the afternoon. Even West Side
valley locations will see some gusty conditions through the
morning...continuing into early afternoon as the cold front
passes through and unstable conditions bring some moderate
southwest winds through. Some West Side areas that received heavy
snow earlier this winter may have a significant number of weakened
trees, and any moderate to strong wind could damage these
further.
Next, heavy rain and flooding. An observed precipitable water
value of 1 inch at Medford during a 06Z balloon sounding is the
daily record for Feb 9. This is indicative of how much moisture
the latest atmospheric river event is bringing with it. Half inch
per hour rainfall rates were observed yesterday evening, and
radar/satellite imagery suggests another round of very heavy rain
is in store this morning for the coast and areas just inland. We
have issued an Areal Flood Advisory for Josephine and Curry
Counties as well as portions of Coos and Douglas Counties. Urban
and small stream flooding is possible with these heavier bands of
rain moving through. Main stem rivers like the South Fork of the
Coquille at Myrtle Point and the Coquille at Coquille are expected
to flood, and Flood Warnings have been issued for these points.
The Illinois River at Kerby is forecast to reach the highest level
since 1970, though current readings and a lull in the heavy rain
early this morning suggest it may peak below the forecast of 31.94
feet. Even so, the heaviest rain has yet to reach this area, and
the Illinois River will certainly rise rapidly this morning, and
folks along the river should monitor the river closely and take
necessary precautions.
The heavy rain will impact Siskiyou County later this morning,
and we have issued an Areal Flood Advisory for this area too. No
doubt that rapid snowmelt will result in sharp river and stream
rises, and some main stem rivers will flood, like the Scott River
at Fort Jones and the Klamath River at Seiad Valley. Additional
concerns exist for heavy rains atop wildfire burn scar areas like
the Gap fire and the Happy Camp and July Complexes. Flash flooding
is possible near these locations, and a Flash Flood Watch
continues through the morning.
Farther east, warm conditions and some rainfall is leading to
snowmelt and river rises, and we have issued Flood Warnings for the
Sprague River at Beatty and the Pit River at Canby. Latest model
data shows these areas receiving moderate rain amounts this
afternoon.
After another upper trough swings through Friday and brings moderate
snowfall to areas above 3500 feet, drying and warming daytime
conditions are expected, though overnight lows will be substantially
lower than recent nights because of the drier air mass and clearing
skies.
Please see the previous extended discussion below.
Sunday through Wednesday Night...The long term period
continues with the break in precipitation. Easterly winds during this
period will at least somewhat help to dry things out. High
temperatures west of the Cascades will rise into the mid to upper
50s while the lows will rise from the low to mid 30s to the upper
30s to low 40s through the period. East of the Cascades,
temperatures will remain slightly above normal during this time
frame with temperatures in the low to mid 20s raising to the low 30s
by the end of the week. Highs, on the other hand, will be between
the mid 40s to low 50s.
The next wet system will approach the area beginning Wednesday. This
will likely be a return to the wet and active pattern that we've
seen this winter. Although confidence is pretty high that southern
Oregon and northern California will see precipitation, confidence is
particularly low regarding the intensity and duration. Therefore, it
is difficult to pin down particular impacts. That being said,
despite the extended period being dry, it will be warm and snow
levels will continue to rise through the end of the week. So
although the small creeks and streams will have a chance to go back
to normal, it won't take an extremely strong or a long-duration
storm to create adverse impacts. Therefore, it is going to be
important monitor the upcoming situation as it unfolds. -Schaaf
&&
.AVIATION...09/06Z TAF CYCLE...Strong south winds will continue
at the coast, in the mountains, and over some areas east of the
Cascades, gradually easing from west to east through the
afternoon. Severe turbulence is possible, especially around
mountainous areas. Heavy rain at the coast and just inland will
bring periods of IFR/MVFR conditions with plenty of mountain
obscuration. Inland, mostly VFR with areas of MVFR ceilings and
terrain obscuration. Wind shear will also be possible at KRBG and
KMFR, but winds should surface some this morning. Wind gusts of
35 kt or higher are expected at KLMT through today. An airport
weather warning is in effect for this hazard. Moderate to locally
heavy rain will continue through the afternoon with widespread
terrain obscurations and a mix of VFR/MVFR cigs. Winds will lower
this evening and rainfall will decrease in coverage and
intensity. However expect local MVFR cigs to continue and numerous
mountain obscurations. CC/SK
&&
.MARINE...Updated 300 AM PST Wednesday 8 February 2017...A very
strong southerly low-level jet has developed ahead of a cold
front, resulting in storm force winds continuing through the
early morning hours. It almost goes without saying that this will
generate very high and dangerous seas, and mariners should
consider remaining in port until the storm passes. The cold front
will move onshore later this morning and winds will subside below
gale force, but high and very steep seas will persist Thursday
afternoon into Friday with weaker fronts moving onshore. High
pressure will then build offshore making for a relatively quiet
weekend with moderate northwest swell. -Spilde/SK
