.DISCUSSION...
THE STORM IS MAKING ITS IMPACTS FELT ACROSS THE CWA THIS MORNING.
SEVERAL REPORTS OF TREE BRANCHES DOWNED AND POWER OUTAGES FROM THE
COAST ALL THE WAY TO THE SUMMER LAKE AREA. MODERATE SNOW IS
APPARENT AT DUNSMUIR AND WEED THIS MORNING. SOME PLACES ALONG THE
COASTAL RANGE HAVE ALREADY ACCUMULATED OVER 3 INCHES OF RAIN AND
PLENTY MORE LOOKS TO BE ON THE WAY.
THE FOCUS TODAY WILL REMAIN ON VERY STRONG WINDS FOR THE
COAST...THE WEST SIDE VALLEYS...AND LAKE COUNTY...ESPECIALLY
SUMMER LAKE AREA. SNOW LEVELS WILL QUICKLY RISE FROM NEAR 2500
FEET THIS MORNING TO NEAR 7000 FEET BY THIS AFTERNOON FOR MOST
AREAS WEST OF THE CASCADES. SO MANY PLACES WILL SEE THE SNOW TURN
TO RAIN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AND MUCH OF THE SNOW THAT HAS
FALLEN WILL QUICKLY MELT. THIS COMBINED WITH CONTINUED RAIN FOR
MANY PLACES WILL CAUSE A QUICK RISE FOR SOME OF THE COASTAL RIVER
BASINS. PLACES EAST OF THE CASCADES WILL SEE SNOW LEVELS RISE AS
WELL AND CREATE THE POSSIBILITY FOR MIXED OR FREEZING PRECIPITATION
THERE TONIGHT.
THERE WILL NOT BE A DETECTABLE BREAK FOR MOST
LOCATIONS BEFORE OUR NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM COMES ASHORE MIDDAY
THURSDAY. FREEZING LEVELS WILL BE ON THE ORDER OF 5000 FEET AS THE
BULK OF PRECIPITATION ARRIVES THURSDAY MORNING...SO MOUNTAIN
PASSES WILL RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ONCE AGAIN. WINDS WILL REMAIN
HIGH ON THURSDAY BUT NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS TODAY WITH A SLIGHTLY
WEAKER GRADIENT IN MOST LOCATIONS.
THE WET PATTERN LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION...
CONDITIONS WILL VARY BETWEEN MVFR AND VFR AT THE COAST THIS
MORNING. HOWEVER WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS OF MOD
TO SEVERE TURBULENCE AT OTH. WIND SHEAR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
THERE THROUGH THE DAY. MEDFORD WILL REMAIN VFR TODAY WITH ON AND
OFF SHOWERS AND CONTINUED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR. MVFR CONDITIONS
WILL DOMINATE AT ROSEBURG WITH STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT
CREATING WIND SHEAR CONDITIONS THERE AS WELL. KLAMATH FALLS WILL
SEE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS TODAY WITH SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. THERE IS
A POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING RAIN THERE TONIGHT.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 403 AM PST WED JAN 18 2012/
DISCUSSION...A WELL-ADVERTISED AND POWERFUL STORM IS APPROACHING THE
OREGON COASTLINE THIS MORNING. A DEEP MOISTURE PLUME WITH A
CONNECTION TO THE TROPICS IS CLEARLY EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
AND THE CIRA BLENDED PRECIPITABLE WATER PRODUCT. THIS MOISTURE WILL
DUMP HEAVY RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN
OREGON THROUGH THURSDAY. IN ADDITION...AN INTERPLAY BETWEEN A
PACIFIC HIGH...AN ARCTIC HIGH OVER CANADA...AND THE APPROACHING LOW
PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN HIGH WINDS THROUGH THURSDAY.
FOR SUCH A DYNAMIC WEATHER SYSTEM...THE MODELS HAVE MAINTAINED
GENERAL CONSISTENCY IN THE EXPECTED WEATHER THROUGH THURSDAY. ONLY A
FEW AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TONIGHT...MAINLY HAVING TO DO WITH
RISING SNOW LEVELS WEST OF THE CASCADES. HAVE TRIMMED THE LENGTH OF
THE LOWER ELEVATION SNOW HEADLINES FOR WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY
BECAUSE WARMER AIR SHOULD CHANGE MOST OF THE AREA TO RAIN BY THIS
EVENING. ADDITIONALLY...GIVEN THE OBSERVED SNOW LEVEL AT ABOUT 3000
FEET WEST OF THE CASCADES...ONLY A BRIEF SNOW IMPACT TO AREAS ABOVE
3000 FEET IS EXPECTED THIS MORNING...AND THEN A CHANGEOVER TO RAIN
IS EXPECTED. SEXTON SUMMIT SHOULD ONLY FEATURE A BRIEF RAIN SNOW MIX
OR JUST PLAIN RAIN THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY WITH OBSERVED ROAD
TEMP AT 36F.
I WILL SHIFT TO MORE DETAIL AND START WITH THE COAST. SOUTH TO NORTH
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL RAMP UP SHARPLY THIS MORNING...YIELDING
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS OVER THE WATERS...EXTREMELY HIGH SURF ALONG
THE BEACHES...AND HIGH WINDS AT TOWNS ALONG HIGHWAY 101 ON THE
COAST. THE STORM WILL DUMP 5 TO 10 INCHES OF RAIN THROUGH THURSDAY
AND HAVE UPPED QPF SOME TO REFLECT RECENT MODEL TRENDS FOR THE COAST
AND COAST RANGE...HOPEFULLY YIELDING A BETTER IDEA OF EXPECTED RIVER
RISES IN THE SOUTH COAST BASIN.
MOVING INLAND...SNOW LEVELS ARE RISING THIS MORNING AND ARE LEAVING
THE VALLEY FLOORS WET. A BRIEF PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW IS LIKELY ABOVE
2500 FEET...BUT THIS SHOULD ALSO TURN TO RAIN LATE THIS MORNING.
SNOW IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED IN WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON BEFORE WARM TEMPERATURES CHANGE THAT PRECIPITATION TO
RAIN. FURTHER EAST AND AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS...COLDER AIR WILL BE
MORE STUBBORN TO BUDGE. MOUNT SHASTA CITY AND NEARBY AREAS ABOVE
3000 FEET WILL LIKELY GET AT LEAST A FOOT OF SNOW THROUGH THURSDAY
IF NOT MORE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS KEEP THEM IN THE COLD AIR THROUGH
THAT TIME AND ROAD TEMPERATURES ARE WELL BELOW FREEZING CURRENTLY.
NORTH INTO THE CASCADES...AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF SNOW IS EXPECTED
WITH STRONG OROGRAPHIC LIFT AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE. 1 TO 3 FEET OF
SNOW IS LIKELY THROUGH THURSDAY...AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR SNOTEL
DATA TO VERIFY IF FORECAST AMOUNTS ARE ACTUALLY HIGH ENOUGH...AS
MODELS HAVE TRENDED A BIT HIGHER IN QPF LATELY. SISKIYOU SUMMIT ON
I-5 IS ALREADY GETTING SNOW...AND NEARLY 10 INCHES IS POSSIBLE THERE
BEFORE THE CHANGEOVER TO RAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON. ON THE EAST
SIDE...MOISTURE IS ALREADY GENERATING SNOW AT KLAMATH FALLS...AND
THIS WILL BECOME HEAVIER AS THE DAY WEARS ON. A WARM TONGUE OF AIR
AT ABOUT 7000FT MSL IS PROJECTED TO CAUSE MIXED PRECIPITATION
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING...RESULTING IN SOME POTENTIALLY VERY
ICY CONDITIONS. ADDITIONALLY...WINDS ON THE EAST SIDE WILL BE
BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCING VISIBILITY ALL DAY...AND TRAVELERS SHOULD
BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN NAVIGATING THE ROADS THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
EVERYWHERE WILL BE WINDY TODAY WITH THE FAVORED LOCATIONS AT THE
COAST...SHASTA VALLEY...AND EAST SIDE RIDGES THE WORST. COMBINE
THE WINDS WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IN SOME LOCATIONS...AND
LOCALIZED BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN OPEN AREAS. WINDS WILL
LIKELY REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH THURSDAY AND THEN DIMINISH SOME FRIDAY
BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES.
UNSETTLED WEATHER CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND AFTER A BRIEF
BREAK EARLY FRIDAY. ANOTHER STRONG STORM DRIVES INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST LATE FRIDAY...ARRIVING WITH SNOW LEVELS AROUND 4000 FEET
OR LOWER...AFFECTING SOME MOUNTAIN PASSES. THERE WILL BE MORE
TRAVEL IMPACTS WITH THIS STORM...SO STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER
UPDATES.
AVIATION...VERY HAZARDOUS FLYING CONDITIONS EXIST TODAY IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A MAJOR WINTER STORM SLAMMING INTO THE COAST. STRONG
SURFACE WINDS ARE EXPECTED WITH AREAS OF SEVERE TURBULENCE
POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH SNOWFALL AND REDUCED VISIBILITY IN HIGHER
TERRAIN AND EAST OF THE CASCADES. A MIX OF MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS
ARE LIKELY AT THE COAST WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. VERY LOW
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES WILL IMPACT THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA AND
EAST SIDE TERMINALS. ADDITIONALLY...MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL
AFFECT THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY. FINALLY...MEDFORD AND
ROSEBURG WILL TRANSITION TO MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS LATER
THIS MORNING AS HEAVIER PRECIPITATION MOVES INLAND.
HYDROLOGY...AN IMPRESSIVE QPF FORECAST HAS BECOME MORE SO WITH
RECENT MODELS TRENDING UPWARDS ON PRECIPITATION EXPECTED THROUGH
THURSDAY. NEARLY 11 INCHES OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE ON THE COAST RANGE
THROUGH THURSDAY. A FLOOD WATCH FOR RIVERS...CREEKS AND STREAMS
TOWARD THE COAST...AND A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE COQUILLE AT MYRTLE
POINT HAVE BEEN ISSUED. LANDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS ARE POSSIBLE
ON STEEP BANKS TOWARD THE COAST. IN GENERAL...THE SHARP RISES IN
WATER WILL BEGIN LATE THIS MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT. THE RAIN TAPERS OFF LATE THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE ANOTHER
ROUND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION ARRIVES LATE FRIDAY.
CLIMATE...50 TO 75 PERCENT OF JANUARY NORMAL PRECIPITATION WILL
LIKELY BE RECORDED IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. JANUARY WILL LIKELY
FEATURE ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION AT MOST PLACES DESPITE THE VERY DRY
START.
