Fxus66 kmfr 181018 afdmfr area forecast discussion national weather service medford or 318 am pdt Fri aug 18 2017 Discussion Warming temperatures, smoke from the fires and a thermal trough over the coast are the three big stories for this weekend. To start, there is a pretty nice tilted ridge off the pacific extending into our warning area today and into the weekend. This, along with the thermal trough along the coast, will bring back warmer than average temperatures across the region, specifically south of douglas county into northern california Friday. The flow around the thermal trough really kicks into high gear on Saturday and Sunday with 850mb flow near curry and josephine county reaching around 25 to 30 kts at 40 to 60 degrees on the nam. Therefore, we should see gusty winds along ridge tops close to the coast and in western parts of siskiyou county. The other thing to note is that the chetco effect should be in full effect through the weekend with upper level winds going right down the chetco river. Kept the brookings temperatures warmer than all of our guidance and thinking lower 90's is probable for highs through Sunday. The other talking point is thunderstorm potential as a cutoff low positions it's self off the southern california coast on Sunday night. This low will sit there through Thursday. Models are pulling up some moisture and initiate convection along the sierra nevada range and northern sacramento valley Monday night and Tuesday night. We can see this low destabilizing the atmosphere in northern california, it just seems pretty unlikely farther north near douglas and northern lake and klamath counties for both days. Bottom line is fell pretty good about the slight chance in siskiyou and modoc, but not as good about thunderstorms farther north for both Monday night and Tuesday night. Finally, a more well developed low and cold front will push towards the oregon coast near the end of the forecast period next week Wednesday night into Thursday morning. This should give us some thunderstorms on the east side and the upslope regions of the cascades. Right now we put in slight chance, but that will probably be upgraded in the future as forecasters gain more confidence of a more strongly forced event. -smith Aviation 18 12z TAF cycle... Over the coastal waters and along the coast north of CAPE blanco... Areas of ifr CIGS offshore will move onshore this evening... Persisting into Saturday morning. The lower conditions may make it into some coastal valleys... But overall it will not make much inland progress. Over the remainder of the

area...VFR conditions will prevail into Saturday with the exception of smoke-reduced visibilities. Wildfire smoke will degrade visibility and could create partial terrain obstruction, affecting a broad section of the forecast area. -stockton Marine Updated 200 am pdt Friday 18 august 2017... High pressure centered offshore and a thermal trough along the coast will support moderate to strong north winds and steep to very steep seas through the weekend. Conditions will at least be hazardous to small craft, but warning level winds seas will occur beyond 5 nm from shore from gold beach south. Winds and seas will be highest during the afternoons and evenings each day through Sunday, easing a bit during the overnight and early morning hours. The thermal trough will weaken early next week, and winds and seas will diminish then. -stockton Fire weather Updated 300 am Friday 18 august 2017... High pressure centered over the eastern pacific and low pressure over the northern rockies will continue to maintain NW flow aloft through Friday. At the surface, this will lead to NE winds and moderate to poor relative humidity recoveries each night and morning through Sunday morning along and near the coastal ranges, specifically in fwz's 618, 619, 620, 621 and 280. Winds this morning are not very strong... Remaining well below red flag warning criteria. Winds look to be stronger Saturday night though. Otherwise, it will be dry and hot each afternoon, driest and hottest this afternoon. Dryness and instability on Friday will lead to a moderate to high probability of active wildfires becoming plume dominated as the haines index reaches 5 at most places. It should be noted that there isn't much difference between a haines 5 and 6 once a fire starts putting up a column of sufficient size - that is pushing up to around 10,000 feet off the ground. Thus, large uncontrolled fires stand the greatest chance of being problematic Friday afternoon and evening. Early next week the wind flow aloft will become more southerly, leading to increasing probabilities of thunderstorm activity Monday into Tuesday. -stockton Mfr watches warnings advisories Or... None. Ca... None. Pacific coastal waters... Small craft advisory until 11 pm pdt Sunday for pzz350-356-370-376. Gale warning until 11 pm pdt Sunday for pzz356-376. Czs jrs nsk

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.
