| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 935am PST Fri Jan 9 2026 Marine Updated 815am PST Friday, January 9, 2026...Light winds expected through today, but seas will remain elevated and steep with conditions hazardous to small craft through this afternoon. Conditions improve for all areas by this evening.Moderate south winds develop this weekend, mainly for outer waters, which may lead to steep seas. Gusty north winds are likely middle to late next week. /Issued 329am PST Fri Jan 9 2026/ DISCUSSION (Today through Thursday)... Key Points: * High pressure aloft will dominate our weather for several days - Conditions will be relatively quiet with dry weather - Morning fog/freezing fog possible for next several days - Air stagnation advisories in place * Temperatures will be near record late next week Further Details: There is fairly good agreement between ensemble data that high pressure will dominate the region through next week and possible into early next week. This will result in dry weather (with one caveat) through at least the next seven days. That caveat being a chance for showers along/near the coast on Monday, but Quantitative Precipitation Forecast amounts will be very light if any showers develop over our area. Chances for rainfall are much better north of our area. The biggest impact may end up being fog and freezing fog the next several mornings along with an airmass that will have little change. The latter of which has resulted in air stagnation advisories. Freezing fog is developing as of writing this in the Rogue Valley (and other areas) as temperatures hover below freezing. Visibility is down to a quarter mile in several areas. Therefore, we have issued a freezing fog advisory to account for the threat of visibility down to a quarter mile or less which could impact commute times and bring hazardous driving conditions. Additionally, elevated surfaces will likely see light ice accumulation this morning due to suspended droplets and freezing temperatures. Fog and freezing fog will be the trend going forward and the main weather impact which will go hand in hand with the air stagnation as the airmass goes unchanged for the next several days. Some of our official climate sites may have high temperatures near record values late next week. Records Thurs/Fri are generally around the lower 60s. We will be close to these values late next week and may see some records in jeopardy. The Extreme Forecast Index from the European model shows maximum temperatures values approaching higher end of the spectrum relative to the reforecast analysis. Currently, the NBM has highs falling just short of records, but this is something to watch as trends may indicate higher temperatures over the coming days. -Guerrero NOAA Medford OR Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories OR...Air Stagnation Advisory until 10am PST Sunday for ORZ023-024- 026-029>031.
