Fxus66 kmfr 231628 afdmfr area forecast discussion national weather service medford or 928 am pdt Fri aug 23 2019 Update The forecast for this morning into early afternoon has been updated to better reflect fog and low clouds along and near the coast and across douglas county. Discussion Cool temperatures this morning combined with lingering low level and ground moisture from recent rainfall have resulted in quite a bit of low clouds and fog across NW portions of the area this morning. These low clouds and fog are lingering across SE douglas county and portions of the coquille and umpqua river valleys. It is likely to take until early afternoon for this to completely dissipate. Otherwise, a warming trend will continue today, then tail off a bit over the weekend, before ramping up, likely, to the highest temperatures of the year Tuesday into Wednesday. Btl Aviation For the 23 12z tafs... Along the coast, in the coastal valleys, and over the coastal waters... Isolated ifr CIGS vsbys in low clouds and fog will clear toVFR by mid-morning Friday.VFR conditions will then prevail into Friday evening, then areas of ifr cigs vsbys in low clouds and fog will develop Friday night, persisting into Saturday morning. Over the remainder of the area...VFR conditions will prevail into Saturday morning, except for patchy ifr CIGS over the umpqua basin that will clear toVFR by late Friday morning. Marine Updated 915 am pdt Friday, 23 august 2019... a thermal trough along the coast will continue to result in gusty north winds today. Seas will remain very steep south of CAPE blanco, with steep seas elsewhere. A frontal system moving through north of the area Saturday will brush by resulting in some decrease in winds and seas. Small craft advisory conditions are expected south of cape blanco Saturday into Saturday night. After that, winds will strengthen again Sunday with an area of gales possible again south of CAPE blanco from late Sunday morning through Monday evening. The thermal trough is expected to push inland and weaken Tuesday allowing conditions to improve along and near the coast. Btl Fire weather Updated 300 am pdt Friday 23 august 2019... there was little change made to the forecast, mainly fine tuning of the relative humidity forecast. A strong warming and drying trend will begin today. The warmest and driest conditions are likely on Tuesday, but improvement during the remainder of next week will be barely noticeable. While the passage of a weak, dry cold front on Saturday will not bring any cooling, it will bring gusty westerly winds east of the cascades with afternoon and evening speeds stronger than normal at 12 to 18 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Associated with the warming and drying trend will be night into morning northeast winds of 5 to 15 mph over the coast range with moderate mid slope and ridge humidity recoveries tonight through

Monday night. The air mass will remain stable at least through Tuesday night, and likely through Thursday morning. Model uncertainty increases beyond day 5 with differences in the track of a closed low over the pacific. -dw Prev discussion issued 310 am pdt Fri aug 23 2019 discussion... 23 00z nam GFS ec in. Mostly clear skies prevail across the area this morning, except for patches of low clouds and fog along the coast north of CAPE blanco, in the coquille valley, and in the umpqua basin. An upper ridge is building over the area along with a thermal trough offshore. A strong warming trend will affect all areas through Friday. By that time highs will be 5-10 degrees above normal. Short waves moving over the top of the ridge will keep it from building any further this weekend, and this will put the brakes on the warming trend. Saturday and Sunday highs will be about the same as the Friday highs. A dry cold front will move through Saturday. It won't bring any cooling, but it will bring gusty winds to the east side Saturday afternoon and evening. The ridge will build in more strongly next week, and the thermal trough will move inland. That's when it will get really hot over the area. Another strong warming trend will occur Monday into Tuesday, and the Tuesday highs will be 10-15 degrees above normal. The medford high will be near 100 degrees Monday and will exceed it Tuesday. Wednesday will be similar to Tuesday with mostly clear skies and hot temperatures. At some point the ridge will break down and the possibility of thunderstorms will enter the forecast with slightly cooler temperatures. The latest GFS run continues to show that lis will remain positive Wednesday afternoon and evening with pws of around 0.66 inches, which is too stable and marginally dry. However, on Thursday afternoon and evening there is a significant area of negative lis from around crater lake southeast through the east side, and the pws rise to 0.75 to 1.0 inches. That is sufficient for thunderstorm activity and thus will keep the current forecast of a slight chance of thunder at that time and location. Mfr watches warnings advisories Or... None. Ca... None. Pacific coastal waters... - small craft advisory until 5 am pdt Sunday for pzz356-376. - hazardous seas warning until 5 am pdt Saturday for pzz356-376. - small craft advisory until 5 am pdt Saturday for pzz350-370.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
