DISCUSSION
Stratus has formed in the Coquille and Camas valleys early this morning. Otherwise, skies are mostly clear. A few patches of stratus are still possible toward sunrise along the coast and in the Umpqua Valley. This stratus should dissipate rather quickly later this morning as high pressure builds into the region.
The high will bring a strong warming and drying trend inland today into Thursday. This includes high temperatures mainly from the upper 60s to upper 70s today, around 5 degrees above normal. A further 10 degrees of additional warming is expected for Thursday afternoon. For the coast, it will be seasonably cool today, and a few degrees warmer on Thursday. Except, with a slight northeast aspect to the low level flow, the high in Brookings today is forecast to be in the upper 60s, several degrees above normal. The return of onshore flow will result in Brookings joining the rest of the coast on Friday with seasonable readings. The picture of valley stratus on Thursday morning is expected to resemble that of this morning.
Conditions will change on Friday. A cold front approaches Friday afternoon and evening with increasing clouds across the area, and a chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms from the Cascade foothills eastward and across northern California. The probability looks to be highest over the Cascade Crest, including the vicinity of Crater Lake.
More of a widespread wetting rain will accompany both the front and post-frontal showers later Friday night through Saturday.
The rainfall amounts that are forecast have trended a bit higher with around a quarter of an inch to a half inch likely to be common. A few light showers will linger Saturday night into early Sunday. It will be much cooler (by around 15 to 25 degrees)
during the weekend, with highs expected from the lower 50s to the lower 60s.
But, another episode of substantial warming and drying is likely again early next week for Monday into Wednesday, with upper 60s to lower 80s again expected to be common inland. -DW
AVIATION
30/12Z TAFs...VFR conditions will persist for most of our area through Wednesday night. However, patches of offshore marine stratus are expected to expand to the coast north of Cape Blanco and form in the Coquille Basin overnight. A few patches toward sunrise are also expected in the Umpqua Valley (including Roseburg), but this may only be for a brief period of time with a drier air mass moving into the area.
Marine stratus should burn off towards mid morning (16-17z) with VFR ceilings, and clear skies. Moderate north winds are likely along the coast, north of Cape Blanco, including North Bend late in the morning through the afternoon. Winds for the inland terminals will be lighter with high pressure building.
A similar scenario of coastal stratus filtering into the Coquille and Umpqua valleys is expected late this evening into Thursday morning. -DW
MARINE
Updated 200 AM Wednesday, April 30, 2025
High pressure offshore and a thermal trough near the coast will result in north winds strengthening into this evening. Steep seas persist south of Cape Blanco this morning. Steep seas then expand across all of the waters this afternoon through tonight, except for very steep seas developing south of Gold Beach with gale force gusts possible. The main update this morning, in collaboration with the Portland office, was to expand the forecast of steep seas this afternoon and tonight to north of Reedsport.
Conditions improve Thursday as the thermal trough pushes farther inland. A seasonably strong cold front is expected Friday night with seas likely becoming steep. -DW
