| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 1001am PST Wednesday Feb 25 2026 /Issued 559am PST Wednesday Feb 25 2026/ SYNOPSIS... River flooding will persist near Coquille today with minor impacts. Conditions trend drier today and even drier towards the end of the work week. Morning valley fog will be the main weather impact Wednesday night and Thursday night. A warm front should bring some weather to the region this weekend with limited impacts. Scattered showers are still ongoing this morning with significantly less precipitation compared to 24 hours ago. Small streams should have peaked already as some of the major rivers are about to crest this morning. Therefore, we cancelled the flood advisory for small streams on the night shift. The light rain should add to rain totals, although the impacts should be pretty muted. The main impacts tonight is the Coquille river reaching minor flood stage and flooding of low lying areas around Coquille. This is pretty typical and happens once or twice a year. Expect flooding of low-lying areas around the Coquille river and some farmland around Coquille. If river rises up to 23 feet, we could see some road closures around Coquille and widespread flooding throughout the Coquille river floodplain. A cold front will move through the forecast area later this evening and snow levels will fall from 9000 feet down to 4500 feet on average later tonight. Overnight lows trend about 10 degrees lower. However, surface temperatures don't trend lower with highs actually increasing into the upper 50's west of the Cascades on Thursday and perhaps some 60's in a few of the valleys. With building high pressure and all ground moisture from the recent rainfall, fog should be a lock in the valleys Wednesday night and again Thursday night. Overnight lows could be cold enough for some freezing fog briefly, but it shouldn't be an impact with significant accumulation on solid surfaces. The fog isn't showing up in the NAM MOS(METMFR) guidance, although it is indeed in the GFS (Global Forecast System) MOS guidance(MAVMFR). Eventually, Probability of Precipitation increase on Saturday and Quantitative Precipitation Forecast re-enters the forecast. The extreme forecast index(EFI) isn't picking up on anything notable at this time. It's worth noting all the ensemble members do show a warm front lifting into our forecast area, although they differ with intensity as some are fairly light and others bring a little bit heavier rain. Overall, no impacts as snow levels push up to 7000 feet along and behind the warm front. By next week, ensembles continue to diverge with differing locations on where exactly a short wave will arrive on shore. Some keep it in our forecast area, while others push it farther south into northern or central California. Depending on where this wave moves onshore will dictate how much rain the area will get next week, although all the members don't event look that wet so flooding isn't a concern. -Smith Marine Updated 200am PST Wednesday, February 25... Southerly swell is decreasing but steep seas continue into tonight. Below advisory seas are expected this morning to Friday morning, with a brief period of steep seas south of Cape Blanco from this evening into early Thursday morning. Unsettled seas are possible Friday afternoon into the weekend. NOAA Medford OR Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories OR...CA...None. PACIFIC COASTAL WATERS...Small Craft Advisory from 4pm this afternoon to 4am PST Thursday for PZZ356-376. |
