Southern Oregon will get two dry, mild days in the middle of the week after rain returns Monday, with Veterans Day shaping up as the warmest day from the Rogue Valley to the Klamath Basin. The outlook for Sunday, November 8, through Saturday, November 14, turns cooler and less certain toward the weekend, when another Pacific system could bring rain, stronger winds and snow at higher elevations.
A cold front will spread rain into Medford late Saturday night, with showers likely through Sunday morning. Coastal areas face much greater impacts from gale-force winds, large seas and hazardous surf before quieter inland weather returns next week.

Breaking waves of 22 to 27 feet are forecast Sunday along the beaches of Douglas, Coos and Curry counties, where a large Pacific swell could reach normally dry stretches of shoreline and wash over rocks and jetties.

This front will bring breezy conditions and a chance of showers tonight, especially for coastal areas and parts of Northern California, including Curry County.

Gusts of 40 miles per hour or greater are possible along the coast and exposed coastal ranges.

Several inches of rain could fall in some areas, which could lead to flooding at lower elevations. A moderate risk of high winds is also expected along the coast from November 10 to 14.
A weak storm system and associated cold front will move into the coast later this evening, bringing a modest chance of light rain west of the Cascades. Thursday's weather will be quiet with partly cloudy skies during the day after this system passes. Temperatures will trend slightly higher into Friday, reaching the mid-60s west of the Cascades and upper 50s elsewhere. We expect an atmospheric river to impact areas well to our north on Friday.
