Fxus66 kmfr 150442 afdmfr area forecast discussion national weather service medford or 842 pm pst Wed nov 14 2018 Discussion No updates needed this evening. A front continues to dissipate along the coos coast this evening. Despite guidance indicating the potential for light rain over the far north coast this evening, observations and webcams show nothing, and thus dry weather is the expectation tonight. We are seeing a fair amount of cloud, so that will help hold temperatures up compared to recent nights. Tomorrow an upper ridge will begins building over the pacnw, and this will lead to sunnier and slightly warmer weather for much of our area. This also leads to the development of a thermal trough at the coast and the gusty offshore (northeast) winds that often accompany them starting Friday and continuing into the weekend. This combined with a drying airmass and continued unseasonably dry fuels will create elevated fire conditions that are rather unusual for november. Long nights and good humidity recoveries in the valleys help to mitigate this somewhat, but the mountains will remain dry and breezy at times. Please remember this if you plan to venture into the mountains any time through this weekend. -wright Marine Updated 800 pm pst Wednesday 14 november 2018... North winds will increase through tonight and into Thursday, producing increasing wind driven seas. Meanwhile, northwest swell will build through Thursday morning. The combination of these two wave groups will generate chaotic seas hazardous to small craft. The main area of concern will be 10 to 30 nm away from shore south of gold beach. This area will have the strongest winds. However, since the swell is the dominant wave in this scenario, we decided to stay away from a hazardous seas warning for the area mentioned above. A low to moderate west swell will remain the forecast through next week. North winds will weaken by Sunday, then shift to the south and increase into the middle of next week. -smith bpn Prev discussion issued 351 pm pst Wed nov 14 2018 short term... A weak front is moving into the coast and will weaken and dissipate early this evening. Some light rain has fallen at the coast near coos bay and northward. Otherwise dry conditions have continued across the area today with an upper ridge in place. Some haze and smoke from fires to the south has lingered over the area today and is expected to shift southeast tonight. Smoke is mainly aloft and is patchy. Models remain in good agreement showing the high pressure ridge strengthening Thursday into Friday with a surface thermal trough developing along the coast. This will bring a stable, dry air mass to the region. Expect gusty north winds over the coastal

waters Thursday afternoon and evening with breezy north to northeast winds inland along the coast. Offshore northeast to east winds will bring breezy winds to the coastal mountains Thursday night into Friday morning. Friday night into Saturday, the ridge and thermal trough will build northward. Expect continued east winds over the mountains with winds increasing in the southern oregon cascades Friday night into Saturday. Saturday, an upper level shortwave will move down the east side of the ridge. This disturbance is expected to remain east of the area and expect little impact. East side locations may see temperatures lower some late Saturday into Sunday. Long term... Monday through Wednesday... Models show more variability in how strong the upper ridge will be early next week and when it may weaken or break down. The ensemble mean GEFS and gfs forecasts are stronger with the ridge and slower to break down the ridge compared to the ecwmf. The GEFS and GFS would favor continued dry conditions through Tuesday, followed by an upper trough moving into the region around Wednesday of next week. However the GFS has trended weaker and drier with this system next week. In contrast, the ECMWF is quicker to break down the ridge and continues to show a front and upper trough bringing precipitation into the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Overall, expect a chance for precipitation by Wednesday but confidence is low on the details of the strength and timing of this system. So will monitor this portion of the forecast with future model runs. Aviation... For the 15 00z tafs... A dissipating front will bring some MVFR ceilings to the coast and the umpqua valley this evening. Vfr will prevail elsewhere. Smoke from wildfires in california will maintain a haze across the area, but it should not be thick enough to restrict visibility. Overnight into Thursday morning, low-level moisture along the coast and into the umpqua valley will lead to areas of ifr low clouds and fog, butVFR will return in the afternoon.VFR will persist elsewhere. -spilde Mfr watches warnings advisories Or... None. Ca... None. Pacific coastal waters... Small craft advisory from 10 am Thursday to 10 am pst Saturday for pzz356-376. Small craft advisory for hazardous seas from 10 am Thursday to 4 am pst Friday for pzz350-356-370-376. Small craft advisory from 10 am Thursday to 4 am pst Friday for pzz350.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
