830 FNUS76 KMFR 222027 FWSMFR Spot Forecast for Upper Applegate 3900...ODF Medford National Weather Service MEDFORD OR 127 PM PDT Sat Jun 22 2024 Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1300 PDT on June 22. If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...A very similar forecast is slated for today as compared to yesterday with the addition of slightly stronger wind speeds and slightly lower RH values. Taking a look at observations around the wildfire, wind speeds are starting to pick up similar to yesterday and will continue through early this evening (~8:30 PM). Speeds may be about 1-3 mph stronger today than yesterday. RH will also be lower, bottoming out around the low 20% range. A front will come through today (not expecting a notable wind shift), and only slightly cooler temperatures are expected. RH recovery tonight should be around 80-85%. For tomorrow, there is some uncertainty on the timing of the inversion breaking, with some data suggesting poor mixing even early in the afternoon. We will continue to evaluate this for tomorrow afternoon, but wanted to mention this small chance for planning purposes. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Sunny (0-5 percent).
