DISCUSSION
IT WAS ANOTHER MORNING OF FOG THAT LED TO SUNSHINE
IN WEST SIDE VALLEYS TODAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE ON TRACK TO
REACH THE MID-60S IN MOST WEST SIDE LOCATIONS AND UPPER 50S TO LOW
60S EAST. FOG WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE FORECAST FOR WEST SIDE
VALLEYS, AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO RETURN AROUND MIDNIGHT AND THE
ROGUE VALLEY WILL FOLLOW. ALTHOUGH SOME MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT
MORE AREAS EAST OF THE CASCADES WILL SEE FOG TONIGHT, I HAVE KEPT
THIS OUT OF THE FORECAST. LAST NIGHT DID NOT HAVE FOG IN THESE
AREAS, AND WITH THE WARMER TEMPERATURES TODAY, THEY WILL NOT HAVE
AS MUCH MOISTURE AVAILABLE, MAKING IT HARDER FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT.
AFTER THE FOG TOMORROW MORNING, THERE WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES. HOWEVER, THE RIDGE WILL BE STRONGEST TOMORROW, AND
THIS IS WHEN WE'LL FIND SOME OF THE WARMEST AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES
OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-60S EAST AND NEAR 70 WEST WILL
BE AHEAD TOMORROW AFTERNOON. CLOUDIER SKIES WILL COME IN SUNDAY
NIGHT, AND THIS WILL KEEP LOW TEMPERATURES TO 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.
THERE WILL BE A WEAK FRONT THAT MOVES IN EARLY NEXT WEEK, BUT THESE
RAIN CHANCES MONDAY INTO TUESDAY ARE FORECAST TO STAY OFFSHORE, WITH
THE EXCEPTION OF A STRAY SHOWER IN COOS COUNTY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
MORE ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
METEOROGRAMS ARE FAVORING THIS START TIME WITH A BREAK IN PRECIP
EAST OF THE CASCADES FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER, THERE ARE
DISAGREEMENTS INTO THE WEEKEND WITH THE GFS WANTING TO KEEP THINGS
WETTER. THIS WILL STILL BEAR WATCHING. STILL, THERE ARE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND INCREASED WINDS EAST OF THE CASCADES AND
IN THE SHASTA VALLEY WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. -9
AVIATION...08/18Z TAFS
FOG IS STILL UNDER A MILE NEAR THE
AIRPORT IN MEDFORD AND LIFR CEILINGS ARE PRESENT IN THE ROGUE VALLEY
AND UMPQUA BASIN. THESE CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES AHEAD BETWEEN 11 AM-12 PM TODAY. VFR CONDITIONS WILL STICK
AROUND FOR THE AFTERNOON WITH MORE WEST SIDE VALLEYS SEEING FOG
DEVELOPMENT AGAIN LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THERE IS LOW
CONFIDENCE FOR EAST OF THE CASCADES AND INTO KLAMATH FALLS TO SEE
FOG TOMORROW MORNING, SO HAVE ADDED MVFR VISIBILITY FOR NOW. -TAD/-9

SOUTH
WINDS AND SWELL DOMINATED SEAS WILL REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND INTO MONDAY. WINDS TURN NORTHERLY ON
MONDAY, AND COULD APPROACH ADVISORY STRENGTH SOUTH OF CAPE BLANCO
LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY, RESULTING IN BORDERLINE CONDITIONS
HAZARDOUS TO SMALL CRAFT. MORE IMPACTFUL WINDS, SEAS AND WEATHER ARE
EXPECTED TO RETURN WEDNESDAY, WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HIGH TO VERY HIGH
AND STEEP SEAS POSSIBLE THROUGH FRIDAY. /BR-Y
