Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 247 PM PST Tue Jan 14 2025
DISCUSSION
Ridging over the northeastern Pacific has tilted eastward north of the newly formed closed low off the California coast, with the ridge axis now directly over the Pacific Northwest. This ridge will continue to be in control for the remainder of the week, either directly overhead,or centered just offshore once the ridge retrogrades later this week and into the weekend.
All of this means that the weather will be dry, quiet, and fairly consistent from day to day through this weekend. Expect fog/freezing fog and low clouds each overnight and morning for most valleys west of the Cascades. Confidence is much lower, but valley fog is possible east of the Cascades as well, although coverage will not be as widespread or as consistent as to the west. Otherwise, temperatures will generally see a gradual warming trend through the week, although any areas in more persistent fog or low clouds may stay cooler with very little change in temperature.
Air stagnation will be a concern through this time as well, with strong valley inversions and very little mixing. An Air Stagnation Advisory has been issued for area valleys through Thursday morning. A weak front will pass just north and east of the area Thursday, and this may help break the inversions at least briefly, or at least lift the fog into stratus decks, but continued high pressure after that is expected to once again lock the area down under strong inversions.
Looking further out, there are indications in the long term models and climate outlooks of a return to a wetter (although any rain at this point would be wetter) pattern during the last week of January. -BPN
AVIATION
15/00Z TAFS...Clouds are breaking here in Medford and in Grants Pass this afternoon and they are on the verge of breaking in Roseburg. While GP and Medford should see several hours of VFR this evening, Roseburg's clouds are showing some staying power. Thus, any break this evening there may be short-lived. Expect LIFR ceilings/visibility to return to all of those areas tonight into Wednesday morning (redevelopment at Medford in the 06-08Z time frame). VFR should prevail at the coast and elsewhere inland.
Expect similar break out times on Wednesday (about 20-22Z). The only difference on Wednesday will be a weakening thermal trough.
This will bring a shift to southerly winds up the coast and this could lead to a surge in stratus near shore at some point later Wednesday, possibly affecting North Bend Wednesday night. Inland west side valleys will have fog again Wednesday night. -Spilde

BEACH HAZARDS
Updated 230 PM PST Tuesday, January 14, 2025...Long period west-northwest swell (6-9 ft/17 seconds) has moved in today and this will maintain a moderate risk of sneaker waves along southern Oregon beaches tonight into Wednesday. The risk is highest for west facing beaches and on incoming tides.
Sneaker waves are a type of wave that can run higher up the beach than a normal wave. Sneaker waves can possibly wash over pathways or rock outcroppings. They can lift and carry logs, which can then strike or pin beachgoers. Sneaker waves can knock a person off their feet and carry them out to deeper waters, where hypothermia becomes possible. Sneaker waves can pose a lethal threat. As these conditions are expected while the sun is down, visibility will be limited. Always keep your eyes on the sea and use extra caution.
