Fxus66 kmfr 171653 afdmfr area forecast discussion national weather service medford or 853 am pst Thu jan 17 2019 Update Today's system will wind down through the day, but some wind, snow, and wave hazards will persist into this evening. While continuing to monitor the current storm, major forecast efforts today will focus on the next system set to arrive tomorrow, and the period of near continuous rain expected to last until Sunday. The current forecasts appears to be right on track this morning, so no updates are necessary. For more information and details regarding the forecast, see the previous discussion below. -bpn Aviation For the 17 12z tafs... Numerous to widespread showers will continue across the area today through this evening as low pressure offshore sends impulses onshore. Expect a mix of ifr, MVFR, andVFR ceilings with gusty south to southwest winds and mountain obscuration. The freezing level will fall to around 4500 ft msl. Winds will subside and coverage of showers will lessen overnight. Any clearing will aid in the development of low ceilings and or fog in some of the western valleys by Friday morning. This may impact roseburg and medford. -spilde Marine Updated 800 am pst Thursday 17 january 2019... extremely dangerous seas, peaking in excess of 30 feet, will be accompanied by south to southwest gales today. Bar crossings and the surf zone will be very hazardous due to strong currents and breaking waves. Winds ease tonight, but seas remain very high with dangerous bar conditions. Yet another front is likely to bring additional gales and very steep seas Friday into Friday night with only slight improvement Saturday. High and steep seas then persist through the remainder of the weekend with the pattern remaining active. Conditions will improve Sunday night into Tuesday as high pressure builds over the region. -spilde Prev discussion issued 355 am pst Thu jan 17 2019 discussion... A potent low pressure continues moving northeast off the pacnw coast this morning and this will continue to impact the forecast area, bringing widespread showers, with snow above 4000 feet, and gusty winds through this evening. While it will be a breezy day today, winds overall will be weaker than what occurred Wednesday afternoon evening. The exception will be along the coast and east of the cascades. As the low continues northeast, winds will become more onshore, bringing gusty winds along the coast through this morning with the strongest winds expected from cape blanco south. East of the cascades, gusty south to southwest winds will continue through this morning and gradually diminish this afternoon. Wind headlines remain in effect for the previously mentioned areas, and details can be found at npwmfr. The main front associated with this low is north and east of the forecast area, and the area will be under a more convective influence today. Given the convective environment, a few embedded thunderstorms are possible in these showers along the coast, and isolated lightning strikes have already occurred in siskiyou and curry counties during the last few hours. As the flow continues to

turn more southwesterly, this will focus the greatest amount of precipitation along the coast today. However, the northern portions of california will continue to see moderate rainfall today as upslope flow enhances precipitation. Snow levels will hover around 4000 to 4500 feet today, so periods of moderate to heavy snow are expected to continue in siskiyou county through this afternoon. Winter weather headlines remain in effect for this, and details can be found at wswmfr. While we expect the bulk of the snow to be above 4000 feet through today, it's possible for snow to mix down temporarily to lower elevations under heavier precipitation. This could mean some wintry travel along i-5 near mt. Shasta city, including black butte summit where 2 to 3 inches will be possible through this evening. There may be some rain snow mix in mt. Shasta city, but we aren't expecting much in the way of accumulation there. Conditions will improve later this evening with showers tapering off and winds diminishing. We'll catch a short break tonight into Friday morning as a brief period of riding moves through. A warm front will nudge into the area Friday afternoon and this will be the start of a very wet period for the forecast area. Snow levels will rise significantly with this warm front and by Friday evening, snow levels will jump to around 7000 to 8000 feet. The front will stall over the area, bringing an extended period of moderate to heavy rain, especially along the coast and western portions of siskiyou county. If current model total rainfall projections are correct, flooding could be a concern during this time period. In addition to rainfall, another round of strong winds is possible Friday afternoon. Gradients are favorable again for strong winds along the coast and in the shasta and rogue valleys. However, unlike the previous system, wind alignment is less favorable for the rogue valley, so wind concerns will be for the more typical places. 700 mb winds of 50 to 60 kt lends to concerns for strong winds east of the cascades as well. Given the current headlines, will let future shifts issue any necessary watches advisories for this time frame. Br-y Mfr watches warnings advisories Or... Wind advisory until 4 pm pst this afternoon for orz029>031. High wind warning until 4 pm pst this afternoon for orz021-022. High surf warning until 5 am pst Friday for orz021-022. Ca...

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.
