Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Medford OR
831 AM PDT Wed Jun 4 2025

.DISCUSSION...Satellite image shows lower clouds from Cape Blanco
north and into portions of Coos and northwest Douglas county. A
sliver of marine stratus is also in central Douglas County,
including at Roseburg. The marine stratus inland will gradually
burn off during the morning with clear skies late this morning
into this afternoon. Elsewhere skies are clear and will remain
that way through this evening. Other than adding some detail to
the sky cover for today, the forecast is on track.

The main thing we`ll be looking at is the hot temperatures for
this weekend into the start of next week and thunderstorm
potential Sunday, Monday and Tuesday afternoon and early evening.
