Weather 03/31/2023 (PM Edition)

Good evening everyone, I'm Anthony Carter this week for Chief Neologist Matt Jordan, we're finally into the week and I hope everyone had a great week and is getting ready for a weekend of rest. Let's go ahead and look at our

weather

headlines because we're talking. Another weekend is going to be pretty active, so rain is likely later tonight. We expect it to continue through much of Saturday as there are winter storm warnings in effect, as well as some wind advisories, so we expect gusty winds across our region. but the good news here is that we are seeing warmer temperatures ahead.

You know, it's been a strange start this spring, but looking at temperatures over the next seven days, at least the second half of next week, looks promising, so let's get into that in our seven-day forecast by looking at the high a little bit. from our Today's Almanac near average during its overnight low of 61 and also near average during its 39 in Klamath Falls. In the same situation, the high is almost back near the seasonal average at 54. Same situation for the overnight low, so good news is that our temperatures are where they should be this time of year.

Now let's first look at the winter storm warning for our east, currently in effect. this includes the Cascades Mountains and The Siskiyou, of course, Diamond Lake and Union Creek, so areas also affected include Highway 62 230 138. We're looking at roughly over a foot of snow possible, as well as up to 20 inches, and we're also We're seeing wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour, so that's really going to pick up as the night goes on through much of Saturday and into much of Sunday. Now, in our west side valleys, we are primarily seeing elevations above 2,000 feet. We'll start to see uh fall in and out as the night goes on, but the air is primarily affected, including Butte Falls Prospect, we're looking at about 4 to 14 inches of snow gusts up to 45 miles per hour, so The main areas of focus, as you can see here on your screen, are those higher elevations towards the eastern part of Jackson County pushing into parts of Klamath County as well as parts of Douglas County, so in Generally, if you are traveling in those areas as the day continues this weekend, you will probably want to postpone that trip and of course always check the trip just before you leave, just in case, now let's move on to our precise forecast, this is just a 1 a.m. m. on Saturday, a good part of us should wait. to see some rain start to see heavy rain along the coast that will start to make its way further inland, then we start to see more chances of snow to the east, some of those areas affected, as we mentioned again in the tomorrow Hours go by, I expect that to start to change a little to our east, so the coast should take a break if you pass Brookings around 7am, but again, expect that to pick up again and we start to see a mix. of some rain and snow in parts of Jackson County, plus heavy snow making its way into Jackson County, sorry, in parts of Klamath County, same situation in Northern California, except we're looking at more possibilities of rain and snow. in the Mount Shasta area, so if it continues to be active at least through this weekend, but again, the good news is that we start to see conditions improve around 8 p.m. m. on Saturday, so it shouldn't be a big problem. but it's something to keep in mind, but of course there's no chance of it continuing in some of the affected areas under that winter storm warning now tonight for the coast, rain and wind, overnight lows are in the mid to upper 40s. 40s, expecting rain to continue into tomorrow with highs expected not to change much either, we're looking at upper 40s, 50s to highs in Crescent City, west of the Cascades, rain levels will likely be around 3 800 feet, our overnight lows are in the upper 30s upper 30s 90s overnight low in Roseburg and then tomorrow rain more like rain and snow is expected in the Mount Shasta area for the rest of us it rains, our highs are around the 40 degrees and upper 52 in Medford on Saturday now east of the Cascades mostly cloudy skies tonight chance of snow, some gusty winds expected our overnight lows are also in the 20s and 30s tomorrow expecting snow.

Breezy at times our highs are in the 40s 27 high over Crater Lake now Let's take a look at our seven day forecast for Rogue Valley, a pretty active start to our weekend and the start of next week, but let's take a look look at that a little bit midweek, heading into much of next weekend, we're starting to see temperatures starting to trend a little bit toward the warmer side, so it's good news to look at partly cloudy skies and Don't see any chance of rain in the second half of next week in a mix of rain and snow in the Klamath Basin with snow on Saturday, likely Sunday. then we go from partly cloudy from Monday into next Friday, our highs are also starting to trend a little warmer, so it's still a little chilly in the overnight lows.

Now rain is likely in Northern California on Saturday, snow and partly cloudy on Sunday as well. for much of next week on Thursday sunny onions we will see a high of 55 then overnight lows will also be in the upper 20s and for the coast the start of the week will be rainy but partly cloudy in Scotland from the Wednesday through next Friday, our highs are in the upper 40s lows 50s our overnight lows are in the 30s
