| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 206pm PDT Sat September 14 2024 Satellite shows cumulus building along the Cascades with passing high/mid-level clouds. Today is a normal/near normal afternoon with highs in the 70s and low 80s across southern Oregon and Northern California. A cold front is passing that will drop temperatures by tomorrow to be 10-15 degrees below normal! The next system is crossing Alaska and will transverse south along the Canadian border and will bring our next chance of rain tomorrow. A drying trend is evident for areas west of the Cascades Sunday morning and afternoon, so have decreased Probability of Precipitation to show the lower chance there. However, there is still the potential for drizzle/a light shower in the waters north of Bandon so have a 20-40% prob in these areas for Sunday. The rain along the Cascades will begin later tomorrow morning and showers will develop east of the Cascades through the rest of the day. The probability for seeing 0.25" of rain from 5am Sunday to 5am Monday is highest east of the Cascades in central Lake and central/southern Klamath counties at 60-80%. Thunderstorm chances exist east of the Cascades at 10-20% Sunday afternoon/evening with the highest points also being in central Lake and central/southern Klamath counties. Showers will continue farther east of the Cascades Monday afternoon with a slight chance of thunder. The next system moves in quickly Tuesday and will bring more rain west of the Cascades than the Sunday system. The rain will move into the coast Tuesday morning and will continue tracking inland through the afternoon. Most of the rain will fall in the afternoon/evening Tuesday. Rainfall amounts with the mid-week system could reach 0.50- 0.75" west of the Cascades into the coast (expect for the Rogue Valley that could see less than a quarter of an inch), and then overall less than a quarter of an inch east of the Cascades. After, drier conditions are favored and temperatures return to near normal through the end of the week. Marine Updated 200pm Saturday, September 14, 2024...Relatively calm conditions will persist through the afternoon and into tonight. Northerly winds will increase Sunday morning as an upper level trough settles over the region. This will bring the return of steep wind driven seas to areas south of Port Orford by early Sunday morning. Northerly winds strengthen as the day progresses Sunday, resulting in steep seas spreading north of Cape Blanco to all areas. Additionally, very steep and hazardous seas will develop late Sunday afternoon for areas from Gold Beach southward. These conditions will persist through Monday night, then winds will ease and seas will briefly lower through Tuesday. This improvement will be short lived. A front will move into the region on Tuesday bringing widespread precipitation and isolated thunderstorms. Behind the front, gusty north winds and steep seas return late Tuesday into Wednesday, likely bringing the return of conditions hazardous to small craft. /BR-y Fire Weather A moist northwest flow on the backside of the departing upper trough is helping to keep the cloud cover around a little longer than anticipated in Oregon. In northern Cal, clouds are much less extensive. Cloud cover should dissipate early this evening and moreso late this evening and tonight, especially east of the Cascades. West of the Cascades, we could see stratus develop in the Umpqua and Coquille Basin late tonight and lasting into at least the mid morning hours Friday. As mentioned mostly clear skies are expected east ofthe Cascades tonight, and this will allow temperatures to drop off fairly quickly after dark with near or below freezing temperatures late tonight into tomorrow morning. Given this will be the first freeze of the season and the fact the typical first freeze of the season in these areas take place right around this time, a Freeze Warning and Frost advisory has been issued in the event folks have any outdoor plants will take the necessary steps to protect them. Dry weather will continue Friday into Saturday with warmer afternoon temperatures for the interior Friday. Saturday will be cooler as an upper trough approaches the area along with increasing cloud cover. Another upper trough will drop in from the northwest later Saturday night into Sunday bringing another round of showers for most of the area. Showers will tend to develop sooner west of the Cascades Sunday morning, then showers will Probability of Precipitation up in most areas, including east of the Cascades late Sunday morning and afternoon. Instability will be marginal east of the Cascades and this in combination with some PVA moving in from the west to southwest could be enough to trigger isolated thunderstorms in southeast Klamath and Siskiyou County, all of Modoc county and most of Lake County from mid afternoon Sunday into early Sunday evening. The upper trough will dig south of the area Sunday night into Monday morning with weak ridging nudging in from the west. Meanwhile, there'es pretty good agreement for wraparound moisture to impact areas from the Cascades east and in northern California. These areas could experience persistent, steady moderate rain for most of the day Monday. Right now, the forecast rainfall amounts could get close to an inch for eastern portions of Fire Zones 285 and southeast 625, with up to 0.50 of an inch in central fire zone 285 and southeast Fire zone 624. Meanwhile, precipitation will be more isolated the farther northwest we go. For example showers could end up being more isolated west of the Cascades and in the northwest part of the forecast area. A brief break in the action is expected Monday Monday night, then another upper trough will drop south into the area Tuesday bringing another round of precipitation, first impacting the westside Tuesday morning, then east of the Cascades and northern Cal Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. Cool and unsettled weather is likely Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with scattered showers likely. Showers will gradually diminish Wednesday afternoon as the upper trough/upper low digs south of the forecast area. After Wednesday, there's increasing evidence for upper ridging to build back into the area with dry and warmer weather that could set up by next Thursday and last into the following weekend. Stay tuned. -Petrucelli NOAA Medford OR Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories OR...CA...None.
