.AVIATION (12Z TAFs)...
High pressure aloft will help lead to mostly sunny skies across inland TAF sites, but North Bend (KOTH) will likely be under a marine stratus layer. This will lead to IFR/LIFR ceilings and visibilities for KOTH through the morning hours with some relief possible later this afternoon. Otherwise, plenty of sunshine expected inland away from this marine layer with mostly light wind speeds.

PREV DISCUSSION
/Issued 315 AM PDT Tue Mar 19 2024/
DISCUSSION...Southern Oregon and northern California will remain under the influence of high pressure today. Yesterday, Medford hit 80 degrees for the first time since October 20th last year, but we were still just 1 degree short of a daily record. Today will be warm as well, but high temperatures today will trend roughly 5 degrees cooler than yesterday. Expect mostly clear skies across the area, with the exception of stratus along coast, where the marine layer remains in firm control.
Things will begin to change on Wednesday with the arrival of the first of several fronts that will usher in a cooler and wetter pattern. This first front will be a bit of a sacrificial one, weakening and dissipating as it moves onshore, with most precipitation chances remaining confined to the coast, and inland areas remaining dry, with the exception of the Mount Shasta area in south central Siskiyou County. Here, upslope winds from the south and local instability could combine with the passing trough overhead to produce a few showers, although chances are low at about 10 to 15 percent. A few lightning strikes are not out of the question, although chances are much lower, down into the lower single digit percentages. Otherwise, the passage of the system will be marked only by cooler temperatures, with highs Wednesday dropping another 10 degrees or so below those of today.
After a brief period of weak ridging and mostly dry conditions Thursday, a much larger trough will approach the area late in the week and pass overhead through the weekend. Temperatures will return to more seasonal values, and there will be several chances for precipitation as the trough and associated surface fronts pass through the region. Snow levels of 5000 to 6000 feet on Friday will lower to 3000 to 4000 feet Saturday into Sunday, and as a result mountain snow and winter travel impacts will be a concern, especially across the Cascade passes. Breezy winds are also expected during this time, but should not be overly impactful.
Seasonal temperatures and precipitation chances will then continue into early next week as the active pattern continues, although a day or two of drier weather is possible as short-lived ridging passes overhead. -BPN
AVIATION
19/06Z TAFs
Atmospheric stability continues to support mostly VFR conditions across northern California and southern Oregon. Marine stratus is still present across most of the Oregon coast, including at North Bend, with IFR/LIFR ceilings and visibilities. These conditions at the coast will continue through the evening and overnight while VFR conditions continue inland through the TAF period. -Miles/Hermansen

Updated 230 AM Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Wind speeds will slowly turn today, eventually become out of the southwest by this evening. Thereafter, a south to southwest wind will persist through much of this forecast. A weak front is anticipated late in the day Wednesday, and rain chances will increase (30-50%) over the waters through Thursday.
A more impactful system looks to arrive on Friday. The forecast is trending towards conditions conducive to steep seas, as southerly winds increase again. There remains uncertainty for how big of swell train could follow this front. It will also remain rainy along the coast and the marine waters through the weekend with chances around 50-90%. Lastly, there is some indication we could have instability over the waters leading into this weekend, so a couple isolated thunderstorms may develop over the waters on Friday.
