Updated AVIATION discussion
DISCUSSION
Quiet weather continues this evening through tonight with some mid and upper level clouds moving through the forecast area.
Temperatures have trended a bit warmer compared to last night, so frost and freeze concerns have diminished west of the Cascades.
Read the previous discussion for more information beyond tonight.

AVIATION
19/06Z TAFs...Atmospheric stability will bring continued VFR levels under clear skies for northern California and southern Oregon through the TAF period. Winds will be light and variable across the area overnight before picking up slightly along the Oregon coast and over areas east of the Cascades on Friday afternoon. -TAD
MARINE
Updated 200 PM Thursday, April 18, 2024...A thermal trough will continue to bring gusty north winds and steep seas to all waters into tonight. The thermal trough weakens tomorrow and conditions will improve. Relatively light winds and low seas continue into Saturday, though a weak cold front will move through with some rain. Gusty north winds and steep seas are expected to return later in the weekend. -Spilde/Hermansen
PREV DISCUSSION
/Issued 216 PM PDT Thu Apr 18 2024/
DISCUSSION...The steady dry and warming trend continues through the rest of the work week, with high pressure overhead and a thermal trough developing along the coast. This pattern is producing a general east wind aloft, and this will then result in downsloping winds, especially along the south coast near Brookings, and will allow for strong overnight inversions for inland valleys. This means that while daytime highs will be above normal for this time of year, lows in the valleys will be cool. A few pockets of frost and freeze are possible, but widespread freezing conditions are not expected west of the Cascades.
A weak system will approach the area Saturday, with a mostly dry cold front passing through by Saturday night. While precipitation is possible along the coast, and perhaps into the Umpqua basin and the Cascades, precipitation amounts will be very light.
Additionally, the main dynamics associated with this system are very far north, so if the system shifts north at all we could miss out entirely. Even a southward shift of the surface features wouldn't help out too much, as all upper level support would still remain well to the north. Behind the front, temperatures will cool, with Sunday highs about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Friday or Saturday.
High pressure, with dry conditions and warm daytime temperatures and cool nights (and another chance for frost/freeze conditions)
will return Monday into Tuesday, then the next system arrives by late Tuesday or Tuesday night, with upper level troughing passing overhead Wednesday into Thursday. Again, we do not expect this to be much of a rainmaker. In fact, the frontal passage itself appears almost completely dry, with more widespread precipitation arriving behind the front as showers develop within the instability under the upper level trough. Confidence is low in any details at this time, given the wide spread in ensemble solutions, so updates will likely be necessary over the coming days.
