Fxus66 kmfr 151135 afdmfr area forecast discussion national weather service medford or 435 am pdt Tue oct 15 2019 Discussion A mostly clear sky and fairly dry air mass over most inland locations are resulting in strong radiational cooling in valley locations. This has prompted the issuance of a frost advisory for portions of the illinois, applegate, and rogue valleys early this morning. Meanwhile, a southerly stratus surge has been making it's way north along the coast overnight and appears to be nearing bandon and coos bay based on what can be seen on the nighttime microphysics rgb from goes17. Fog and low clouds have also been forming during the last hour in the illinois valley, coquille valley, and in the umpqua basin. We're expecting a mostly cloudy day along and near the coast today and clouds gradually increasing from the west through the day today elsewhere. Clouds should be thin enough to allow for another substantial warm-up across inland areas with daily maximums likely to end up at to a few degrees above calendar normals. Cloud cover is likely to prevent west side frost tonight, but we'll have to keep an eye on that again, as guidance continues to over predict both cloud cover and resultant temperatures, and dewpoints look as if they will be similar Wednesday morning to what they are this morning. The forecast was updated overnight for today through the weekend, primarily to increase precipitation probabilities during high confidence precipitation periods, to adjust amounts, and to adjust temperatures and snow levels to be more consistent with each other. Southerly winds will become breezy ahead of the front Wednesday into Wednesday evening, but should remain below advisory thresholds. Rain is expected to arrive along and near the coast tonight into Wednesday morning, becoming moderate to heavy across curry county Wednesday afternoon. For areas inland from the coast rain is expected to overspread the area Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. Snow is likely to begin dusting the peaks above 6500 feet Thursday morning. Showers are expected Thursday and Friday, mainly across nw portions of the forecast area with snow levels 4500-5500 feet in the morning rising to 5500-6500 feet in the afternoon and early evening hours. Friday night into Saturday a chilly soaker will affect most of the area with a quarter to a half inch or more of rain, with snowfall in the mountains above 5kft. 4-8 inches of snow appear likely above 5500 feet in the oregon cascades for that time period. This weather system bears some watching, as it's likely to be a quick hitter in terms of precipitation. At least one more round of valley rain and mountain snow is expected Sunday before before a warming and drying trend commences. Btl Aviation For the 15 06z tafs... Except for along the coast,VFR

conditions are expected through the TAF period. Models are now indicating an ifr ceiling this morning on the coast north of cape blanco, but this is the first that models are indicating this, so confidence is not high. Sven Marine Updated 200 am pdt Monday 15 october 2019... Calmer conditions are expected through Tuesday. Winds will shift to the south as a cold front moves towards the waters Tuesday. This will be the first in a series of stronger fronts which are expected to move across the waters through late this week. Gusty south winds and steep to very steep seas are expected with the first front Tuesday night into Wednesday. Winds will be strongest from cape blanco north and beyond 3 nm from shore. Late Wednesday morning winds and wind gusts approaching gales could be possible west and northwest of CAPE arago within a few nm from the cape. The gale force winds have not been warned upon because of how brief and isolated they are, but over short durations, winds may reach the necessary speeds. If nothing else seas will be wind driven and very steep with hazardous seas conditions likely. Thus, a hazardous seas warning has been issued. Not long after the front moves onshore, a high and long period west to northwest swell will build into the coastal waters Wednesday night through Thursday evening. Guidance suggest swell heights peaking out between 16 and 18 feet at 16 seconds Thursday into Thursday evening before gradually diminishing late Thursday night into Friday. Given the above mentioned scenario, a hazardous seas watch has been issued for the heavier swell. Also a high surf advisory has been issued. Meanwhile small craft conditions are expected outside of the hazardous seas warning and watch due to gusty winds and choppy wind driven seas Tuesday night through Wednesday afternoon, then for the higher swell Wednesday night through at least Thursday evening. For details on all the hazards, please see mwwmfr. It's possible for small craft conditions to continue into Friday, but there's still plenty of time to address this. -miles Mfr watches warnings advisories Or... High surf advisory from 5 am to 11 pm pdt Thursday for orz021-022. Frost advisory until 9 am pdt this morning for orz024-026. Ca... None.

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.
