Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 1045 PM PDT Sat Aug 8 2020

The Aviation section has been updated .

DISCUSSION. Current satellite imagery is showing some high cirrus clouds over southern Oregon and northern California. In addition, a fire hot spot has appeared in the Marble Mountains in northeast Humboldt County for both the Red Salmon fire and a second, possibly new, unnamed fire near Hoopa, California. These fires are putting out some smoke. Northerly winds at the surface and aloft should preclude smoke from entering a large part of our area, but 700 mb winds are southwesterly, and some haze could be possible from lofted smoke from these fires in the afternoons, especially for Siskiyou County.

Overall, the forecast looks on track, and no changes are needed. We will continue to look at the ongoing east wind event in the Coast and Kalmiopsis wilderness and thunderstorm chances for Monday and Tuesday in our area (mainly for northern California). More information is in the discussions below. -Schaaf

AVIATION. For the 09/06Z TAF Cycle . VFR conditions are expected to prevail across the forecast area through the TAF period. The only exceptions are visibility restrictions in the vicinity of the Red Salmon Fire northeast of Willow Creek, CA as well as possibly an area of MVFR to IFR stratus and partial terrain obscurations around sunrise south of KRBG up to the north side of the Umpqua Divide. The other item to be aware of is breezy to windy northerly winds this evening, strongest west of Grants Pass and Roseburg, that are still gusting to around 30 knots along and near the coast. These gusty winds will diminish mid-late evening and then will return stronger Sunday afternoon and evening with gusts 35 to 40 knots expected, to include at KOTH. ~BTL

MARINE. Updated 845 PM PDT Saturday, 8 August 2020 . The thermal trough will remain strong along the coast through at least Monday afternoon. This will continue to bring strong gusty north wind and steep to very steep wind driven seas. Gales are expected south of Port Orford this afternoon and early evening and again Sunday afternoon and early evening. Warning level seas will spread north of Cape Blanco this evening and most of the waters will experience very steep and hazardous wind driven seas.

The thermal trough will move inland Monday afternoon with north winds gradually diminishing, but gales are expected to linger through Monday evening for the southern waters. Winds and seas will continue to diminish Monday night into Tuesday, however, a weaker version of the thermal trough is expected to remain along the coast through much of next week. As a result, moderate to strong north winds and steep wind driven seas are possible for much of next week, especially south of Cape Blanco. At the very least, conditions hazardous to small craft are possible with hazardous seas conditions also possible for the southern waters. ~BTL/BR-y

PREV DISCUSSION. /Issued 455 PM PDT Sat Aug 8 2020/

DISCUSSION . An upper level ridge, which is centered offshore, extends into the area. This ridge will remain in place through Monday. At the surface, a thermal trough is located along the coast. With this pattern expected warming temperatures for inland areas through Monday with afternoon breezy to gusty north to northwest winds. At the coast, expect strong gusty north to northeast winds through Monday, strongest in the afternoons and early evenings.

Temperatures will trend warmer across inland areas through Monday. Models continue to support highs peaking in the 90s to lower 100s across most inland valleys Monday afternoon. Along coastal areas, the thermal trough is resulting in gusty north to northeast winds, with strongest winds occurring in the afternoons and evenings through Monday. Northeast (offshore ) winds will also bring a Chetco warming effect to the southern Curry coast near Brookings with high temperatures in the 80s this weekend and near 80 on Monday.

Late Monday afternoon and evening, models continue to show a slight chance for thunderstorms to develop in south- central/eastern Siskiyou and Modoc Counties due to some increased mid level moisture, weak instability and an upper level shortwave moving into the area. On Tuesday, the area of moisture and weak instability shifts slightly further east into eastern Siskiyou, Modoc County and far southeast Lake County. So have kept the slight chance of thunderstorms for these areas.

Additionally, late Monday and Tuesday an upper level trough will move into areas just to the north. This will flatten the ridge and result in temperatures cooling a several degrees on Tuesday. Additionally expect winds aloft to increase. As these winds mix down during the afternoon, gusty west winds are expected, especially for areas from the Cascades eastward Tuesday afternoon and evening. This pattern continues on Wednesday with temperatures cooling a few degrees further and continued gusty afternoon/evening winds from the Cascades east.

For Thursday and Friday, there is lower confidence in the forecast details as models show more variability with the details of the pattern. Model solutions indicate that an upper low will approach the central California coast but may remain offshore. Meanwhile to the north a broad upper trough is in place while an upper level ridge is centered offshore. Overall, expect near or slightly above normal temperatures late next week with conditions likely remaining dry.

FIRE WEATHER . Updated 200 PM PDT Saturday 8 August 2020 .

A warming trend will peak on Monday. A thermal trough will deepen on the coast tonight and Sunday with increasing east to northeast winds with moderate to poor humidity recovery near and at the ridges in fire zones 618, 619, western 620, and western 280. The poorest of these moderate recoveries are forecast for Sunday night into Monday morning.

A cutoff low is expected off the coast of Central California early next week, with instability in northern California Monday and Tuesday. The instability may extend into the southern part of zone 625 on Tuesday.

Gustier winds are possible Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon into the evening east of the Cascades. Sandler

MFR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. OR . None.

CA . None.

Pacific Coastal Waters . Small Craft Advisory until 11 PM PDT this evening for PZZ356-376. Gale Warning until 11 PM PDT Monday for PZZ356-376. Hazardous Seas Warning until 11 PM PDT Monday for PZZ350-356-370-376. Small Craft Advisory until 11 PM PDT Monday for PZZ350-370.
