| Sunny & Quiet for Black Friday Posted: 29 Nov 2013 07:55 AM PST WEATHER DISCUSSION The weather pattern remains consistent with the past several days, dry and quiet. An air stagnation advisory is in effect through Saturday at noon due to the strong inversions building in the overnight hours and the lack of mixing. Beginning Sunday, an arctic air mass will begin to push into the Northwest from the Gulf of Alaska. This will bring a quick drop in snow levels for early next week. The computer models the past several days have been pretty inconsistent with the timing of this system's arrival but it seems as though showers in Southern Oregon will not begin until late Sunday, and this will be mainly for areas west of the Cascades. At the Coast, showers will begin earlier on Sunday – probably in the afternoon. Many locations, especially the higher elevations, will be making a change over from rain to snow on Monday with widespread shower activity and lowering snow levels. I suspect by late afternoon and early evening, the passes will begin seeing impacts from the winter weather. By Tuesday morning, snow levels will be down to the Valley floor. Showers will begin winding down at this point, but isolated showers will likely bring snowflakes to the Rogue Valley. Those traveling back into Southern Oregon from Portland or Seattle on Sunday should keep a very close eye on the forecast. The arrival of the cold air and lowering snow levels will be much sooner the further north you are. They should stay between 6,000' and 7,000' Sunday across Southern Oregon.

Medford Fire Battalion Chief Erin Sawall said, “Most of the house is unlivable at this time.” Several nearby residents were forced to evacuate their homes around midnight when the house on the 3000 block of Mallard lane caught fire, leaving that family without a place to sleep on Thanksgiving. The homeowners said they heard several popping sounds before seeing smoke and flames. When they saw flames inside their bathroom, they immediately evacuated with their two children and pet. We spoke with neighbors who witnessed the incident, “It’s sad, it’s sad. It’s Thanksgiving, supposed to be a happy time of the year, you know?” Multiple crew members with Medford Fire and Fire District Three fought to put the fire out. “Initially, crews did what’s called a defensive attack,” said Medford Fire Chief Sawall. But, crews were eventually forced to pullback out of the home. “They started protecting the exposure, but then when the roof started coming in, we pulled all of our firefighters out.” The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, but those pops heard by the homeowners right before the fire started, were even heard by neighbors nearby. “Obviously, they’re pretty loud because our house is down the street away’s, it didn’t sound like a firecracker really,” said one neighbor. “It was almost, if you were to take, like if you heard like wood planks drop real hard and land on wood.” Investigators cannot confirm yet what those sounds could have been, or if it had anything to do with the cause of the fire. But Medford Fire Chief Sawall said they will continue to investigate the cause, “To where the fire was, the origin area, and we’ll work our way from that.” As crews continue their investigation today, recovery after losing their home to a fire will be difficult for one family.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now | | Avoiding Theft on Black Friday Posted: 28 Nov 2013 05:21 PM PST MEDFORD, Ore. — The risk for theft is high this time of the year. If you’re venturing out to shop or just parking your vehicle somewhere, police have a few tips for you. Hide anything you buy or anything in your car that’s valuable. Cover it in your car or immediately take it home. Don’t leave items out for potential thieves to see. Police say purses and wallets are especially attractive to thieves when left unattended in cars and shopping carts. Also when you’re parking, keep vehicles in well-lit areas. "Maybe just take credit cards, your I.D. and your checkbook or whatever you need and keep that in your pockets. In your front pockets preferably because anytime you have a purse you’re opening yourself up to having it be stolen off the person, out of the shopping cart, out of the car," said Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau. Among holiday thieves there are also holiday scams. A popular scam is “dummy websites” that appear identical to your favorite store sites. You can detect these websites if you don’t see a customer service number or the website has a different name than the posted name. Also never use a debit card when buying anything. Use cash, check or a credit card.

Many families are celebrating without a police officer, or a firefighter, or someone in the food industry who is on the job Thursday night. NewsWatch12 talked to local workers who don’t necessarily want to spend the time away from home, but want to cash in on holiday pay. Marie Callendar’s in Medford is one restaurant open on the Thanksgiving holiday. It’s all hands on deck as all employees and even some volunteers pitch in, helping to cook and serve food and prepare takeout orders. Thanksgiving is one of the busiest times of the year for the food chain. The local manager says it takes them nearly a month to prepare for today. He’s worked almost 80 hours just this week. "You get a little disheartened from it a little bit because it is Thanksgiving Day, but then again when you come in and you see the people that don’t have family coming into the area, or even people who are eating by their self that day, It just feels better that you are able to take care of their needs and take care of them that day, and that’s what it is all about," said Robert Baxter, the Assistant Manager at Marie Calendars. Employees also say they do not mind working the holiday because of the extra pay, and many say they will get the chance to see their family at some point throughout the day.

More than 75 volunteers at the Gospel Mission cooked and served the Thanksgiving dinner.
Preparations for the dinner took more than a week, and volunteers came out early Thursday morning to help set up and prepare the home-made meal. Hot turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce were all packed high onto plates. "It’s really even more than I could ever imagine you know to be warm and our beds are clean, our beds our showers, to sit here and eat like this…it's a feast," says Gospel Mission resident Michael Powell. This year the group wanted to get people together from different walks of life, the theme was “Meet Your Homeless Neighbor". Some said it felt like one big happy family.

As we head into Sunday and early next week a very cold arctic airmass is going to settle over the Pacific Northwest which is going to not only bring drastically colder temperatures but also much lower snow levels. While the timing and amount of snowfall is uncertain at this time, the potential for Cascade pass travel impacts through the day on Monday are likely. Rain will arrive Sunday, mainly in the evening as weather models are now holding off on dropping this system south; though if you are traveling south from Washington or Northern Oregon you will see the impacts earlier on Sunday and should be prepared for winter driving conditions. Snow levels Sunday will remain high around 6,000 feet so only expecting travel problems around Crater Lake for southern Oregon. Snow levels plummet to 2,000 feet Monday morning and will impact the high Cascade Passes (Diamond Lake and Lake of the Woods) with snow covered and slick roads. Through the day Monday snow levels will continue to drop to the valley floor by Tuesday. While the heaviest precipitation looks to fall during the day Monday, we could see our first snow showers of the season for the valley locations on Tuesday. And for those traveling home Monday over Siskiyou and Sexton Summits, you may run into snow and ice at times and should be prepared. Check road conditions before heading out next week and be prepared for winter driving conditions. All areas, especially the east side, should also be ready for brutally cold temperatures next week with highs dipping to the 20s on the east side and 30s for west side valleys. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving and I am so thankful for all of our loyal viewers. Have a great evening and drive safe for Black Friday and next week!

Police say a white van rear-ended a maroon Subaru on I-5 on Thursday afternoon, leaving an imprint on the back of that car that could get the driver caught. A Yreka man and his 80-year-old mother were headed to Rogue River for Thanksgiving. Just after 12:30 p.m., at exit 21 near Talent on I-5, another driver also heading north hit the Subaru, driving at least 80 miles per hour. Oregon State Police say that impact pushed the Subaru into the median, rolling over several times. Police say both passengers were able to walk away from the crash unharmed because they were both wearing seat belts. The driver of the white van drove away without stopping. Officers say it's either a ford Winstar or a Dodge Caravan. Its license plate stamped the back of the car. Police cut off the bumper of the Subaru with the imprint. Officers think it’s a California plate with the last three digits of 5 1 0. It will have some front end damage. Contact OSP with any information.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is offering some warnings for the most common scams it sees during the holiday season.
One is called the “green dot scam”, although depending on your location, the color of “the dot” can change. Victims get a telephone call, demanding money to avoid arrest. The victim is told to send the money by purchasing a “green dot” card at a store. Once the card is established, the scammer gets those numbers and takes off with the money. A recent victim lost nearly a thousand dollars. “Ask for proof. It’s not uncommon for banks to hear that from people so that if your bank is calling for you tell them you’d like to know, 'How do I know it’s you? What can you prove to me?' So it’s not normal for someone to call and start asking personal information," said Andrea Carlson with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. Also, for online shopping, look out for “dummy sites” that appear identical to your favorite store sites. You can detect a dummy if you don’t see customer service numbers, if the website address is different from the site’s posted name, or if it has poor grammar or spelling. Credit cards are widely believed to be safer than debit cards against fraudulent purchase online. If you are shopping with plastic in a store – make sure you swipe your own card or watch the clerk as they swipe your card to make sure it’s not swiped in a secondary machine.
