What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Pendleton, OR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 16, 3:30 PM PST, 10 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 16, 3:30 PM PST, 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
330 PM PST SUN JAN 16 2011

UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...REGIONAL RADARS SHOW THAT
PRECIPITATION TREND IS DOWNWARD BUT STRONG WESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES
TO SPREAD RAIN OVER THE CASCADES ALONG THE EAST SLOPES AND OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF EASTERN OREGON. WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGE SHOWS
THAT THE MOISTURE PLUME IS THINNING OUT WHICH ALSO INDICATES THAT
PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO DWINDLE. HOWEVER...STILL DEALING WITH
WHAT RAIN HAS FALLEN COMBINED WITH THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND MELTING
SNOW SO NUMEROUS FLOOD ADVISORY OR WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT. SEE
HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR MORE DETAIL.

NEXT WEATHER CONCERN COMES OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY. A STRONG UPPER
LEVEL JET WILL BE PASSING OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AND INTO MONDAY.
THESE WINDS ALOFT COMBINED WITH AN INCREASING WEST TO EAST SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO PRODUCE VERY WINDY CONDITIONS
OVERNIGHT THAT WILL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY. MOUNTAIN WAVES WILL FORM
AS THE FAST MOVING AIR PASSES OVER RIDGETOPS THAT WILL PRODUCE
LOCALLY STRONG WINDS WITH POTENTIAL GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. WINDS
WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WIND
ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS EVENING SO SEE PRODUCT
PDXNPWPDT FOR MORE DETAILS.

NEXT PRECIPITATION EVENT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL OCCUR TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER FAST MOVING SYSTEM PASSES OVER THE REGION.
SNOW LEVELS WILL BE LOWER SO WILL SEE SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH
RAIN IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...DURING THIS PERIOD AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE WITH MAINLY NORTHWEST FLOW
OVER THE AREA. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY THE MAIN STORM TRACK
AND ASSOCIATED LIFT WILL REMAIN IN NORTHERN WASHINGTON OR CANADA. A
SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW...BUT
THERE WILL BE LITTLE EFFECT IN SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON AND EASTERN
OREGON BECAUSE THE MAIN LIFT IS TOO FAR NORTH. THERE MAY BE SOME
OROGRAPHIC SHOWERS IN THE NORTHEAST OREGON MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE
CASCADES THURSDAY OR FRIDAY. A WAVE WILL DIG FARTHER SOUTH FRIDAY
NIGHT AND BRING A WIDESPREAD CHANCE OF RAIN OR MOUNTAIN SNOW. A
BRIEF TRANSITORY RIDGE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
SATURDAY AFTERNOON (MODELS VARY ON EXACT TIMING) BEFORE A STRONGER
WAVE MOVES THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. KEPT 20-40
PERCENT POPS ON SATURDAY BECAUSE OF LACK OF CONFIDENCE PRECISE
TIMING WHEN MODELS ARE SO INCONSISTENT. COONFIELD

&&
.AVIATION...0Z TAFS...CLEARING WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT. EXPECT
FOG/MIST TO REDEVELOP AT KYKM TONIGHT WITH LIFR CIGS LATER IN THE
EVENING. OTHER SITES WILL BE MAINLY VFR. WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS
EVENING AS HIGHER WINDS ALOFT INTERMITTENTLY MIX TO SURFACE ACROSS
THE AREA WITH KPSC...KALW...KPDT...KRDM...AND KBDN SEEING GUSTS 25
TO 35 KTS 04Z. 76

&&

.HYDROLOGY...WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE RISES ON MOST AREA RIVERS
OVERNIGHT AS LIGHT RAIN TAPERS OFF.  WE WILL CONTINUE THE SMALL
STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES FOR ANOTHER 24 HOURS TO ALLOW RUNOFF TO MOVE
INTO THE SYSTEM. THE FLOOD WARNINGS FOR NACHES...LOWER YAKIMA WILL
CONTINUE FOR THE SEVERAL DAYS WHILE THE UMATILLA RIVER SHOULD BE
CRESTING EARLY MONDAY MORNING. ML
