.DISCUSSION...A line of showers has moved onshore this morning,
marking the leading edge of the approaching front. Showers will
overspread much of the area this afternoon and evening, before
tapering off overnight. Rainfall amounts will be light, with only
about a quarter of an inch expected along the coast and the
northern Cascades, and less than a tenth of an inch elsewhere.
Some locations, particularly in northern California, the East
Side, and the Rogue Valley, may only get a hundredth of an inch,
or may not measure at all. An isolated thunderstorm or two is
possible along the coast and over northern portions of the East
Side today, but chances for those remain below 20 percent.

Temperatures today are trending about 10 degrees below normal fro
this time of year, and will cool further to about 15 degrees below
normal for Sunday. Another round of frost /freeze is possible for
the populated areas of the East Side Sunday night into Monday
morning.

Gusty winds will accompany the front today, especially in the
Shasta and Scott valleys and across the East Side and northeastern
California (Modoc). Wind gusts in these areas will mostly be in
the 25-35 mph range, with gusts approaching 40 mph possible over
terrain in Lake and Modoc counties. Increasing humidity will
prevent critical fire weather conditions, but these gusty winds
moving over areas of potentially dry fuels is enough to emphasize
fire weather concerns.

After a cool, mostly dry Sunday with lighter, but still breezy
winds, a warming and drying trend begins Monday as the overhead
trough weakens for the first half of the week, then high pressure
rebuilds over southern Oregon and far northern California mid to
late in the week. Near normal temperatures are expected Monday
and Tuesday, followed by high temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees
above normal for the rest of the work week.

.AVIATION...12/18Z TAFs...VFR conditions prevail across the region
this morning and will likely do so through the TAF period. An
incoming system will bring increasing VFR cloud cover across the
area today. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected north of
Gold Beach this afternoon, with light showers spreading inland to
the Cascades through tonight. Additionally, gusty winds are expected
across the region today, strongest over the terrain, in the Shasta
Valley and east of the Cascades where gusts of 30 to 35 kt will be
common. These winds should ease by 03z-06z this evening.

Lower ceilings are expected at the coast beginning this evening,
becoming MVFR with patchy IFR after 00Z, then IFR around 03Z into
Sunday morning. Ceilings will lower for areas west of the Cascades
as well, but are expected to remain VFR into Sunday morning. /BR-y

&&

.MARINE...Updated 1200 PM PDT Saturday, September 12, 2026...South
to southwest winds will persist through this evening before a cold
front passes through the region. Winds and seas are expected to
remain below advisory criteria today, but showers and isolated
thunderstorms are possible this afternoon/evening. Winds turn west
to northwesterly tonight into Sunday, with sub-advisory conditions
continuing through at least Sunday evening.

A thermal trough develops late Sunday into Monday, bringing the
return of gusty winds and steep wind driven seas. Conditions
hazardous to small craft are likely to return south of Cape Blanco
by early Monday morning and persist into at least mid-week. /BR-y
