Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working.

Synopsis for the southern oregon coastal waters..High pressure offshore and a thermal trough along the coast will persist through this evening. Gusty north winds will continue to produce steep seas south of port orford. Conditions will improve tonight into Sunday as a front quickly moves through. But, a thermal trough will quickly redevelop early Monday with strong, gusty north winds that could reach gale force Tuesday into Thursday.

These areas should burn off quickly this morning, and skies should be mostly clear this afternoon. Have adjusted the forecast this morning to account for the low clouds, but no other updates are needed. For the rest of the forecast, including the upcoming rain tomorrow, see the previous forecast below. -bpn Aviation For the 21 12z tafs... Areas of MVFR ifr lifr low clouds and fog can be expected this morning along the coast from cape blanco northward, and in the umpqua valley. Also, late night into early morning patchy fog is possible again in the klamath basin. After 15z, the stratus will begin to diminish withVFR expected across the area from late morning into Saturday evening. Some low clouds may return again late Saturday night. -spilde Marine Updated 853 am pdt Saturday 21 september 2019... High pressure offshore and a thermal trough along the coast will persist through this evening. Gusty north winds will lead to steep seas hazardous to small craft south of port orford. Conditions improve tonight into Sunday as the thermal trough pattern gets interrupted ahead of the next front. The front is expected Sunday. Winds will briefly turn southerly ahead of this front, but are expected to remain below advisory level. Expect a period of showers and the possibility of thunderstorms as the front moves inland Sunday afternoon and evening. Seas will also build with this frontal passage as northwest swell moves into the waters. Monday into Wednesday, the thermal trough quickly redevelops, bringing the return of northerly winds (possible gales) and steep wind driven seas, especially south of CAPE blanco. The next disturbance is expected around Thursday and may be accompanied by a building, large northwest swell. -spilde sven Prev discussion issued 330 am pdt Sat sep 21 2019 discussion... |
satellite shows fog and stratus forming over the umpqua valley and the central coast this morning. In fact, north bend is currently reporting 1 4 mile visibility and fog. In addition, some upper level clouds are moving through east of the cascades. With the light winds, cool temperatures and recent rainfall, we still feel patchy frost will form later this morning in valleys east of the cascades. As for the remainder of the day, temperatures will push into the lower 70's and the lower 80's in some of the valleys west of the cascades. Sunday will turn wetter with a low and weak cold front approaching the coast. It looks like the cold front will move onshore during the late morning hours. The key talking point here is that most of the rain will probably fall in the afternoon for areas farther inland. For areas east of the cascades, Sunday should be pretty nice before the rain finally moves during the late afternoon and early evening. We'll see around 0.1 to 0.25 inches of rain with the higher totals located farther north in the umpqua valley and along the coastal range. There is still a slight chance for some thunderstorms on Sunday as this low moves through. Potential instability will be pretty low, so lightning activity should be low and limited across the region. After this low passes through, we'll see high pressure and quiet weather for the start of the work week until roughly Thursday. Some model guidance suggests this is when we'll have a slight chance for some showers moving through the region. The best chance will in fact be around Friday when all the models show a deep low over oregon. The other noteworthy feature here is snow levels will be around 5500 to 6500 feet when this low hovers over the region. Therefore, mt ashland and crater lake will likely see some accumulating snow next weekend. Just another sign that fall is right around the corner. -smith Mfr watches warnings advisories Or... None.

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. |
