| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 418am PDT Tuesday April 28 2026 Key Points: * Coast/Coastal valleys: Overnight clouds/drizzle north of Cape Blanco, which could reach Roseburg * Warmer afternoon temperatures today. With clearer skies tonight, mid-/upper 30s are possible for lows west of the Cascades * Ridging mid-week leads to warmer temperatures, east of the Cascades gets the largest jump Friday * Next low pressure system possible this weekend Satellite shows that the Coos County coast is covered with marine stratus this morning, and it is reaching portions of the Umpqua Basin near Roseburg. There are also low clouds developing in the Illinois Valley. Otherwise, clearer skies prevail. There will be a 5- 15% chance for Northern California and areas east of the Cascades to see a shower, but overall a dry string will begin. today starts a jump in temperatures (overall 3-7 degrees warmer than yesterday) as more of the Rogue Valley will have highs in the low 70s. Upper 50s at the coast and low 60s east of the Cascades are expected this afternoon. Tonight there will once again be stratus that impacts the Coos County coast and parts of the Umpqua Basin. The areas that remain clear will have lows into the upper 30s and low 40s west and low 30s east. Some locations, including the Illinois Valley, have forecast lows in the frost threat territory. However, the overall temperatures tonight will be in the mid-/upper 30s, so this risk is not high enough to need a Frost Advisory. None the less, if your location near the Illinois Valley is prone to frost, take the proper precautions tonight. Ridging starts to build Wednesday. This will bring more locations west of the Cascades near or in the 70s, and 60s are forecast east! This will equate to temperatures 10-15 degrees above normal. Thursday will continue the warming trend, and the most warming will be west of the Cascades. The ridge moves farther east Thursday, bringing more of a warming and drying trend to areas east of the Cascades. Highs Friday afternoon are forecast to be in the mid-70s east! Long term: Models then show the ridge breaking down by this weekend as an upper trough just off the West Coast tries to close off offshore. An increasing number of solutions show the low closing off to our SW, which would bring an increased risk for mainly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms Saturday, with the potential for active weather persisting Sunday into early next week. Much will depend on the eventual track of trough/low, however. Many members, particularly from the GEFS ensembles, maintain a weaker trough moving through, which would limit the overall extent/coverage of precipitation. We'll adjust the forecast as things come more into focus. -Spilde Marine Updated 230am PDT Tuesday, April 28, 2026...North winds continue this week. Initially, winds stay below advisory speeds today. Then, gusty north winds develop this morning south of Cape Blanco. Steep seas return this afternoon for the waters south of Cape Blanco. North winds will strengthen across the waters Wednesday with very steep seas possible for the waters south of Cape Blanco and steep seas north of Cape Blanco. These conditions may linger into Thursday. Winds trend slightly lower Friday and Saturday but seas may remain steep. NOAA Medford OR Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories OR...CA...None.
