LATEST FORECAST

StormWatch 12 Forecast

Tonight: Clearing skies and more chilly temperatures tonight with most areas seeing lows in the 30s and 40s west of the Cascades and 20s in the Basin.

Tomorrow: Sunny skies and warm weather in store for your Friday after another chilly start to the day. Highs will climb into the 80s for many of our westside valleys, and we'll see 70s in the Basin. We could tie or even break the record high in Medford of 83° set back in 1999. Quiet weather into tomorrow evening. It's looking great for all of those high school football games.

Extended: The sunny and warm weather will carry over right into the weekend. Saturday looks warm with possibly another record being broken in Medford. Not as warm for Sunday, but it'll still be well above average for this time of the year with plenty of sunshine. This is looking like a fantastic weekend for all your outdoor plans. Take advantage of the warm weather because this likely could be our last 80s in the Rogue Valley for this year. We have big changs in store for next week. Monday will be quiet and warm, but we have a pair of storm systems that will likely bring some much need rain showers to the region Tuesday and Wednesday. Along with the showers will be mostly cloudy skies and much cooler and below-average temperatures. We'll be ironing out the extact timing of rain and rainfall amounts in the coming days.

Fire Danger remains MODERATE for southwest Oregon.

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
