Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
823 AM PDT Sun May 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...Skies are clear over most of the forecast area. The
only exception is for marine stratus over portions of the
Coquille Basin and even then that is burning off rather quickly
and it should clear out there withing the hour. Dry weather
continues today with warmer afternoon temperatures. Changes were
made to remove any mention of fog since there is no evidence of
fog and some adjustments were made to the sky cover to reflect
the latest satellite image and expected sky cover for the
afternoon.

.AVIATION...26/12Z TAFs...Under weak high pressure, VFR weather for
most terminals is expected through the TAF period. Low clouds are
developing in the Coquille Basin. With the sun about to rise this
morning, it is not likely this will impact the coastal TAF site.
Other than this one location, skies are clear from the coast inland
and stratus is moving in from the Pacific. Any lower conditions that
develop are expected to improve to VFR for all areas by late this
morning. /BR-y/Hermansen

.MARINE...Updated 800 AM Sunday, May 26, 2024...Except for some
locally gusty winds (15-20 kt with gusts to 25 kt) south of Cape
Blanco within 20 nm of shore, relatively light winds and seas are
expected through Tuesday. Look for increasing north winds and seas
on Wednesday and Thursday with conditions hazardous to small craft
likely for all areas by Thursday and a potential for gales south of
Gold Beach. Current model forecasts support a 50-90% chance for
gales south of Cape Blanco on Thursday, highest south of Gold Beach.
 Gusty winds and elevated seas may continue into Friday, then are
expected to lower Friday night into Saturday. -CC
