Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 310 PM PDT Thu Oct 8 2026
KEY MESSAGES
* A cold front will pass through the area Friday with breezy winds and significantly cooler temperatures.
* There is a low chance for showers with the front along the coast and on the western and northern slopes of the higher terrain. A few very light showers are also possible over the higher terrain of the East Side Saturday and Sunday.
* Further cooling is then expected Saturday through at least Monday night with below normal overnight lows. Widespread frost is likely for valleys west of the Cascades, with freezing temperatures across the East Side.
* A brief, modest warmup is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of another system, but nothing like what we have seen this past week. There is a low chance of light rain across the coast and Douglas County Tuesday night.
DISCUSSION
This afternoon is still looking to be the last of 90+ degree temperatures for the year in the valleys of Jackson, Josephine, and Siskiyou counties. Though, the likelihood is for some days that will still be above normal during this month.
The change in our weather is arriving with a deep trough that will dig south out of northwestern Canada, and an accompanying cold front on Friday. It will bring about 10 to 20 degrees of cooling, which will still result in high temperatures above normal, especially (due to the later frontal arrival) on the east side. It will also bring a slight chance to chance of light showers for Coos and Douglas counties. Otherwise, west and north facing slopes will be favored for wringing out a trace or very light accumulation of rain. Besides those effects, west to northwest afternoon winds will be gusty, with gusts of 15 to 30 mph...strongest in Modoc County.
As the trough axis moves overhead, a slight chance of post- frontal showers is expected Friday night through Saturday for much the same area, then also in the evening on Saturday for the east side. This will result in further cooling during the weekend into early next week. Overnight lows will be approaching freezing in areas west of the Cascades Sunday and Monday mornings. As a result, the first widespread frost of the season looks likely for the Rogue, Illinois, and Applegate valleys, and is possible for the Umpqua Basin as well.
By late Monday, the upper-level trough is expected to close off over central California, then push off to the east across the Great Basin Tuesday. This will allow for a brief period of weak upper-level ridging Monday afternoon into Tuesday, which will result in some slightly warmer temperatures, but still mostly well below normal. Another system may pass through the area Tuesday into Wednesday, with some similarity to the Friday/Saturday system. But, there is also a contingent of ECMWF ensemble members that are weaker and would keep our area completely dry with temperatures actually reaching near normal.
AVIATION
08/18Z TAFs...Patchy LIFR ceilings and visibilities are lingering north of Cape Blanco and near Brookings this morning, with more widespread coverage continuing just offshore. LIFR is expected to return to that area this evening into Friday morning, with some lifting of a persistent deck to MVFR during the day. Also, IFR stratus is expected to surge into the Umpqua Valley, including Roseburg, around 13Z tonight through Thursday morning. Otherwise, VFR conditions will persist through Friday morning.
MARINE
Updated 230 PM PDT Thursday, October 8, 2026...A persistent thermal trough will continue to produce gusty north winds and steep to very steep seas through Friday. A cold front will pass over the southern Oregon waters Friday evening with winds approaching gale force around the Brookings area. Steep and hazardous seas will continue into Monday south of Cape Blanco.
Guidance continues to depict the arrival of the first west-northwest long period swell of the season over the weekend, likely originating from the northwestern Pacific near Japan. While swell is not expected to exceed 6 or 7 feet, the swell will arrive at 1 foot at 27 seconds on Saturday before it peaks at around 6 feet at 20 to 22 seconds later Sunday. This could produce dangerous bar conditions, heavier than normal surf, and abnormal currents. Swell will then very slowly diminish Monday into Tuesday, continuing at 4 to 6 ft while period lowers to 14 seconds.

BEACH HAZARDS
Updated 200 PM PDT Thursday, October 8, 2026...The first long period swell of the season arrives this weekend.
Originating from a storm off the coast of Japan earlier this week, the west-northwests swell will arrive in the southern Oregon waters Saturday evening with a period over 25 seconds. Swell will then build through Sunday, peaking Sunday afternoon and evening at around 5 feet at 19 seconds. This very long period swell will result in a heightened chance for sneaker waves and run-ups of unusual size through Monday evening.
While the threat for sneaker waves will be persistent throughout Sunday and MOnday, the highest risk is expected during periods of incoming tides. With high tides along the southern Oregon coast expected roughly around Noon to 1 PM, and again around Midnight to 1 AM, the highest risk for sneaker waves will be during the morning and late evening hours.
If visiting the coast Sunday or mOnday, stay vigilant for incoming waves. Stay far away from the surf zone and never turn your back to the ocean.
