Synopsis for the southern oregon coastal waters - Strong low pressure will pass through the region this morning, bringing a round of strong southerly gales and very steep and hazardous seas. There will be a brief period early this morning where gusts could reach storm force, with the highest chances for this to occur being from port orford northward and within 30 nm from shore. Winds ease later this morning, but seas will remain very steep and hazardous through tonight. Conditions briefly improve Thursday, then a building west swell will likely result in steep seas Friday into the weekend.

19/12Z TAFs...A strong front is pushing through the region this morning, with the main concern being low level wind shear at all TAF locations through about 15-17z. Widespread terrain obscurations with a mix of MVFR/IFR conditions are expected with the front along with periods of moderate to heavy rainfall. As the front passes through the region this morning, expect gusty south winds to surface, then quickly shift to westerly behind the front. This front will gradually move east of the Cascades by this afternoon, with precipitation turning to showers and then tapering off by this evening. /BR-y

DISCUSSION...As of this writing, a cold front lies lined up right along the coast, and will push east across the area this morning and pass out of the area by this evening. For most areas, showery, light, warm front precipitation will give way to steady precipitation as the front approaches, then showers will return behind the front passes and continue through tonight. Overall, expect around an inch to an inch and a half of rain along the coast, the coastal ranges, and along the Cascades, with a tenth to a quarter inch for the West Side valleys and across the East Side. Meanwhile, snow levels will hover around 5000 feet ahead of the front, then lower to around 4000 feet once the front passes and mostly showery precipitation continues. Up to a foot of snow is expected in the Cascades, where a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect due to the high risk for heavy inch-per-hour snowfall rates. More details on the warning can be found at PDXWSWMFR.
Pre-frontal winds will also be a concern for the coast, and the Shasta and southern Rogue valleys. Models have backed of considerably on the winds with this system in the last couple of runs, and winds no longer look to be quite as strong as previously thought. However, will let the current headlines ride, as gusts could still reach criteria in the affected areas. Details on winds can be found at PDXNPWMFR.
As mentioned, post-frontal showers will continue into this evening as the upper level trough passes overhead, then diminish tonight as the trough exits the region. High pressure then takes over control of the area Thursday, pushing the preferred storm track to the north, and producing warmer temperatures and dry weather until roughly Friday afternoon. This is when the upper ridge will flatten out a bit, allowing some precipitation to glance the along the coast, and into the Umpqua Basin as a weak system passes just to our north.
The storm track will shift south Saturday afternoon with the first of several weak waves passing through the area through Monday afternoon, each bringing increased chances for precipitation. While the details on each wave remain uncertain, precipitation amounts appear on the lighter than average side, with snow levels high enough to keep winter weather concerns to the highest elevations, mainly in the vicinity of Crater Lake.
