Synopsis for the southern oregon coastal waters.. A thermal trough will strengthen into Wednesday. This will result in steep to very steep seas with an area of gales south of port orford beyond 3 nm from shore. The thermal trough is expected to move inland Thursday with a slight and brief improvement in conditions. Seas are likely to gradually increase late in the week as high pressure centered far offshore builds.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 404 AM PDT Mon Jul 13 2020
DISCUSSION. Typical summer weather is expected for much of this week and into next weekend. High pressure aloft over the Eastern Pacific will strengthen this week and the Four Corners High will shift eastward. This will leave the area under a stable west to northwest flow that will continue into the weekend, resulting in benign weather for the week. A thermal trough along the coast will be our daily weather driver for much of the week. This will bring a period of offshore (east to northeasterly) flow with gusty north winds along the coast and over the coastal waters. Temperatures will increase, but remain seasonable around 5 to 10 degrees above normal. For this time of year, that equates to mid 90s for West Side valleys, mid to upper 80s east of the Cascades and mid to upper 90s for Northern California. Also, expect the Chetco Effect to develop with low 80s expected for the Brookings area Tuesday into Wednesday. The warmest temperatures are expected Wednesday when the thermal trough moves inland, and afternoon highs reach into the upper 90s for West Side valleys.
Easterly flow under the thermal trough pattern will limit the extent of the marine layer over the next few days. Unlike recent mornings last week, skies are clear for much of the forecast area this morning. There's bit of stratus along the coast in the Brookings area and in the Coquille Basin. There may be some clouds that fill in the southern portion of the Umpqua and Coquille Basins over the next few hours, but that should be the extent of the marine influence this morning. Over the next few mornings, expect even less in terms of coverage, as northeasterly winds trend higher tonight into Wednesday.
The thermal trough pattern will be disrupted Thursday as a shortwave moves through in the northwest flow aloft. This will likely be the warmest day for the East Side while the West Side will see a few degrees of cooling. Models continue to hint at weak low pressure off the California Coast. However, it's not the ideal set up for thunderstorm development in our area. We'll remain more under the influence of broad troughing to the north and most of the instability and moisture will be focused along the Sierras to the south of the forecast area. The deterministic models support this as well as the GEFS. However, the day shift introduced a slight chance (10-15%) for thunderstorms for the far southeastern portion of Modoc County. It's not out of the realm of possibility that something moves north from the Sierras into the area, so have left that in the forecast at this time.
Beyond Thursday, the thermal trough returns Friday into Saturday but will be weaker. Temperatures away from the coast will rebound, but won't be quite as warm as what we're expecting Wednesday. Thunderstorm parameters are weak for the rest of the weekend, so the forecast remains dry over the weekend. However, we'll continue to monitor model trends and update as necessary. /BR-y
AVIATION. For the 13/12Z TAF Cycle . LIFR near Brookings and in the southern Coquille Valley near Powers is expected to dissipate around 15Z this morning. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail into this evening with gusty, breezy afternoon and evening winds, strongest near the coast. An area of LIFR is possible along and near shore from Cape Blanco northward late this evening into Tuesday morning. -DW
MARINE. Updated 230 AM PDT Monday, 13 July 2020 . A thermal trough will strengthen into Wednesday. Gales and very steep hazardous seas south of Cape Sebastian beyond 5 nm from shore will expand to areas south of Port Orford beyond 3 nm from shore this afternoon, with small craft advisory conditions elsewhere. The strongest winds and highest seas are expected Wednesday afternoon and evening with a potential for very steep hazardous seas to spread north of Cape Blanco to include the waters just south of Bandon.
The thermal trough is expected to move inland Thursday with a slight and brief improvement in conditions. Seas and northerly winds are likely to gradually increase late in the week as high pressure centered far offshore builds. -DW
FIRE WEATHER. Updated 400 AM PDT Monday, 13 July 2020 . No fire weather concerns through at least the middle of the week but fuels will likely dry out with breezy and warm to hot conditions. Upper level troughing moves east of the forecast area and the Four Corners High shifts south and eastward. Meanwhile, high pressure develops and strengthens over the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This will put the area under stable northwest flow aloft that will persist through at least the middle of the week. General winds will shift to a northerly direction today through Wednesday, and a thermal trough will develop, accompanying an overall warming trend (peaking around 5 to 10 degrees above normal). Nighttime and morning northeast winds over the high terrain from the Cascades west will trend higher from tonight through Tuesday night, strongest over the Kalmiopsis and western Siskiyou County. Additionally, overnight recoveries will dip into the poor to moderate category, especially in Western Siskiyou County and Coast Range.
Also of note for this upcoming week's weather, north to south oriented valleys west of the Cascades, like the Illinois and Umpqua, will feature the strongest winds as the thermal trough develops. Overall, this week will feature typical summer conditions will little to no chances of precipitation through much of the week.
The thermal trough pattern will be disrupted Thursday as a shortwave moves through in the northwest flow aloft. This will likely be the warmest day for the East Side while the West Side will see a few degrees of cooling. Recoveries will be improved across the Coast Range and in Western Siskiyou Friday morning onward.
Models continue to hint at weak low pressure off the California Coast Thursday into the weekend. However, it's not the ideal set up for thunderstorm development in our area. We'll remain more under the influence of broad troughing to the north and most of the instability and moisture will be focused along the Sierras to the south of the forecast area. The deterministic models support this as well as the GEFS. However, the day shift introduced a slight chance (10-15%) for thunderstorms for the far southeastern portion of Modoc County. It's not out of the realm of possibility that something moves north from the Sierras into the area, so have left that in the forecast at this time.
Beyond Thursday, the thermal trough returns Friday into Saturday but will be weaker. Temperatures away from the coast will rebound, but northeast winds will trend weaker compared to earlier in the week. Thunderstorm parameters are weak for the rest of the weekend, so the forecast remains dry over the weekend. However, we'll continue to monitor model trends and update as necessary. /BR-y

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.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
