LATEST FORECAST

StormWatch 12 Forecast

Today: Dry and cold conditions this morning are creating some frosty spots on area roadways. A storm system will miss Southern Oregon and Northern California today, and more dry weather will be in place for the first day of March. High clouds, however, will increase through the day leaving most of the region under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Parts of northern Curry County could even observe mostly cloudy skies this afternoon. It will be a fairly warm day with above average temperatures climbing into the low 60s in our westside valleys, upper 50s in Siskiyou County, with low 50s on the coast and east of the Cascades. Winds will turn breezy this afternoon east of the Cascades and through parts of Siskiyou County, where gusts could reach 30 MPH out of the south.

Tonight: Dry conditions will be maintained through the overnight hours. It will be another cold and frosty night in Southern Oregon and Northern California with low temperatures falling into the low to mid 30s west of the Cascades with low to mid 20s east of the Cascades. Patchy areas of fog and freezing fog may develop through parts of our region tonight, so use caution if driving through valley locations.

Extended: Through midweek, we'll stay dry with more warm and above average temperatures. Overall, we should enjoy plenty of sunshine too. Clouds will increase Thursday for the coast ahead of a likely change in our weather pattern. A storm system will likely impact our region Friday into Saturday. The exact timing is still in question, but it's looking like a safe bet that rain will arrive at the coast on Friday and could spread inland by Friday evening. The chances for rain and higher elevation snow will continue through next weekend. Temperatures will also cool down for next weekend. We'll keep you posted as the forecast evolves for later this weekend into next weekend.

Stay with StormWatch 12 for updates on your forecast on-air and online...Much colder today behind the cold front. We've caught a break from the precipitatoin this afternoon, but look for more rain and snow showers to return to the area starting as early as this evening, especially, west of the Rogue Valley. Another storm system will increase the coverage of rain and snow into tomorrow and keep winds gusty throughout the area.

A WIND ADVISORY is in effect for 8 AM-11 PM Friday for the Shasta Valley in Siskiyou County with possible wind gusts up to 50 mph. East of the Cascades, Eastern Klamath & Lake Counties are under a WIND ADVISORY from 11 AM to 11 PM Friday with gusts up to 50 mph.

As another surge of moisture moves into the region tonight into Friday. Snow levels will be low and the snow will be heavy for our higher elevations including the higher and lower mountain passes. Look for snow levels to drop down below 2,000' tonight. Through the day on Friday, heavy snow expected in our higher elevations. Snow levels will rise somewhat between 2,500'-3,000' in the afternoon with the daytime heating. The valleys and coast will see mainly rain, some of it heavy. Some thunder is even possible along coastal areas. Conditions will really start to deteriote into tomorrow evening as snow levels drop and temperaturs cool. Look for a changeover to snow all the way down into most valley locations Friday night. Some slushy, minor accumulations are possible in the Rogue Valley, mainly 1" or less. WINTER STORM WARNINGS & WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES have been issued for much of the viewing area for tonight through Friday evening. Our higher elevatons could see as much as 1-3 feet of snow, especially, for the coastal mountains and western Siskiyou Co. mountains. Lower elevations between 2,000 to 4,000 feet could see between 3-6" with as much as a foot of snow.

By Saturday morning, the snow will have cleared out, but another storm system will bring rain and snow chances to the coast through the day and eventually working east into the Rogue Valley, Cascades and Siskiyou Co. through Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will remain cool and we'll likely see some more snow showers Saturday night into early Sunday.

The trend will be to dry out and start to warm up into Monday. A few showers could linger for coastal areas on Monday. Beyond Monday, brighter and warmer days with temperatures surging to around 70° by next ThursdaS
