Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
815 AM PST Sun Jan 19 2025

.DISCUSSION...Satellite image shows low clouds and fog and
freezing fog in the same areas as in previous mornings. Like in
the last few days, this will likely persist through the morning
hours with a gradual burn off in the afternoon. This will also
result in lower max temperatures than what was in the forecast for
the Umpqua Basin, Rogue and Illinois Valley. The rest of the
forecast is on track. A freezing fog advisory remains in effect
until 10 am pst, therefore allow extra time to your destination
as some of the roads will be slick, especially on overpasses and
bridges. -Petrucelli

.AVIATION...19/12Z TAFS...Fog and low clouds are entrenched in
the west side valleys with LIFR conditions at Roseburg, Medford and
Grants Pass this morning. This is expected to continue through
late morning/early this afternoon with improvement to VFR
thereafter. There should be at least several hours of VFR into this
evening before areas of LIFR develop again overnight into Monday
morning. -Spilde

.MARINE...Updated 800 AM Sunday, January 19, 2025...We`ve
issued a Small Craft Advisory south of Port Orford and beyond 5NM
from shore since north winds will be gusty in those areas late this
morning through at least this evening. Conditions will remain
hazardous to small craft tonight into Monday morning beyond about 15
NM from shore in the outer waters (from around Nesika Beach
southward). The thermal trough along the coast will weaken later
Monday into Tuesday allowing conditions to fall below advisory
levels and remain that way through Thursday. Another period of
moderate to strong north winds and steep seas is possible Friday
into next weekend. -Spilde
