Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Medford OR 231 PM PST Mon Jan 13 2025
DISCUSSION
Ridging over the northeastern Pacific and broad troughing over central North America will keep our forecast area under general high pressure with north flow aloft. An upper level trough to our south will close off and take up position offshore of southern California and as a result, the Pacific ridge will tilt inland over the Pacific Northwest. This ridge then remains in control for the remainder of the week, either directly overhead or centered just offshore.
All of this means that the weather will be dry, quiet, and fairly consistent from day to day this week. 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 may 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, but continued high pressure after that is expected to once again lock the area down under strong inversions. -BPN
AVIATION
14/00Z TAFS...Most low clouds/fog have dissipated late this afternoon with just some high cirrus drifting by at times. Conditions will remain this way with VFR prevailing into this evening. However, expect LIFR low clouds/fog to redevelop in the west side valleys, including in Roseburg and Medford 07-09Z, and then persist through most of Tuesday morning. The lower conditions should break to VFR by 20-22Z Tuesday. The remainder of the area will remain VFR through Tuesday. -Spilde
MARINE
Updated 200 PM Monday, January 13, 2025...Winds and seas should gradually lower through late this evening, but there could be just enough of a wind/wave combination to keep seas near 10 feet over the outer waters south of Cape Arago. Winds and swell will then increase on Tuesday in those areas, so rather than finesse the details, we just ran the Small Craft Advisory out through Wednesday morning. Most areas north of Cape Arago and inside 10 nm should have a period with winds/seas below advisory levels. We do expect a period of time Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning where winds/seas are below advisory levels for all areas.
Then, the thermal trough will likely reestablish and strengthen by Thursday afternoon. Conditions become hazardous to small craft again especially south of Cape Arago. Gusty north winds, strongest south of Cape Blanco, could bring very steep seas to those areas Thursday night into Friday. -Spilde
BEACH HAZARDS
Updated 1000 AM PST Monday, January 13, 2025...We extended the beach hazards statement. Seas are still in the 9-12 ft range at 16 seconds this morning and this could last through this evening. Even though seas are expected to come down briefly this afternoon and tonight, another long period west- northwest swell (6-8 ft/19 seconds) will move in on Tuesday maintaining a moderate risk of sneaker waves along southern Oregon beaches. The risk is higher for west facing beaches and on incoming tides. High tides during the event are this evening, Tuesday morning and after 7 pm Tuesday evening.
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.
