OVERALL, APRIL 2025 WAS A TYPICAL SPRING MONTH WITH BELOW NORMAL
PRECIPITATION AND WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE COOL AND WET
CONDITIONS AT THE END OF MARCH CONTINUED INTO THE EARLY PART OF
APRIL. WITH A LARGE SCALE TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS, SEASONABLY
COOL TEMPERATURES WITH PERIODS OF RAIN CONTINUED THROUGH THE FIRST
WEEK OF THE MONTH. THERE WAS A BRIEF BREAK IN THE WEATHER ON THE 4TH
AND 5TH AS A SHORTWAVE RIDGE PASSED THROUGH THE REGION, AND BROUGHT
DRY CONDITIONS WITH MAY-LIKE TEMPERATURES. AFTER THE LAST ROUND OF
PRECIPITATION ON THE 7TH, AN EXTENDED DRY PERIOD ENSUED AT THE
MEDFORD AIRPORT UNTIL NEARLY THE END OF THE MONTH. DURING THIS TIME,
A FEW WEAK FRONTS PASSED THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, BUT ANY
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FRONTS WAS CONFINED TO AREAS
ALONG THE COAST AND NORTH OF THE ROGUE-UMPQUA DIVIDE. A PERIOD OF
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BROUGHT THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES OF THE MONTH ON
THE 14TH AND 15TH WHEN 82 DEGREES WAS RECORDED AT THE MEDFORD
AIRPORT.
AROUND THE 25TH-26TH, AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVED INTO CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA, BRINGING THE RETURN OF COOL AND WET WEATHER. THOUGH THE
BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WAS FOCUSED SOUTH OF THE OR/CA BORDER, THE
MEDFORD AREA RECIEVED ANOTHER 0.25-0.35" OF PRECIPITATION WITH THIS
SYSTEM. COOLER TEMPERATURES LINGERED FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER THE RAIN,
THEN TEMPERATURES TRENDED WARMER WITH DRY CONDITIONS TO END THE
MONTH OF APRIL.
