Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 312pm PST Sat Jan 25 2025 Morning satellite imagery shows mostly clear skies across the region this afternoon, with a few wisps of clouds here and there across the East Side, likely the result of mountain waves due to stronger mid to high level winds. A positively tilted trough has settled over the area, and this is producing that deep layer north to northeasterly flow over the region. Observations indicate wind gusts of 20 to 30 mph are fairly common across the area, with a few ridgetop stations reporting gusts of around 40 mph. These winds, when combined with cold temperatures are now and will continue to produce frigid wind chills in the single digits to low teens, especially overnight tonight. Due to these winds, temperatures, and wind chills, Cold Weather Advisories and Wind Advisories remain in effect for much of the area through tonight. Cold temperatures will extend down to the coast as well, with widespread frost and freeze conditions expected north of Port Orford (downslope winds and a Chetco effect will keep temperatures slightly warmer to the south). A Freeze Warning is in effect for tonight to cover these coastal areas. Details on all of these Advisories/Warnings can be found at PDXNPWMFR. After another cold and breezy day tomorrow, high pressure returns for the first part of the week, and we'll likely see the return of strong valley inversions and the stagnant air pattern. With the recent and anticipated drying period in the low levels, fog will be less extensive for next round of stagnant conditions, but trapped pollutants will likely be a concern. We'll evaluate the need for another Air Stagnation Advisory over the coming days. Low temperatures will moderate slightly over the first half of next week, but remain well below normal while afternoon highs will be seasonable. A return to wet weather is expected late in the week, with ensemble suites in good agreement with bringing rain into the area beginning by Thursday night amidst a long awaited return to westerly flow. The forecast, strongly based on the NBM, has precipitation entering the coast late Wednesday night. The ensemble suites, however, do not begin precipitation chances until Thursday evening, with the bulk of the forecast area not seeing precipitation chances until Friday morning. As this is the first system attempting to push in to the ridge after a prolonged dry period, precipitation amounts will be on the lighter side. A stronger, colder system is possible over the weekend (with some hints of potential lower elevation snow), with the longer range guidance suggesting a continued active, westerly flow pattern into February. -BPN Marine Updated 230pm Saturday, January 25, 2025... Strong northerly winds will peak this evening with gales expected in the outer waters south of Cape Blanco, very steep seas in the outer waters north of Cape Blanco, and steep seas nearer to shore. Winds will trend lower Sunday, but remain at advisory strength in the outer waters while seas remain steep to very steep. Light winds and seas are expected Monday through Wednesday. An active pattern develops Thursday with building winds and seas likely into next weekend. -DW NOAA Medford OR Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories OR...Cold Weather Advisory until 10am PST Sunday for ORZ021>031.
