PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HAZARDOUS SEAS WARNING MEANS HAZARDOUS SEA CONDITIONS ARE
IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. RECREATIONAL BOATERS SHOULD REMAIN IN
PORT...OR TAKE SHELTER UNTIL WAVES SUBSIDE.  COMMERCIAL VESSELS
SHOULD PREPARE FOR ROUGH SEAS AND CONSIDER REMAINING IN PORT OR
TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL HAZARDOUS SEAS SUBSIDE.

A STORM WARNING MEANS THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE HAZARDOUS TO ALL
VESSELS. ALL SMALL CRAFT SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT.

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURRING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES
EXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE
HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.

OPERATING SMALLER VESSELS SHOULD AVOID NAVIGATING IN THESE
CONDITIONS.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES WILL
BE STEEP ENOUGH TO CREATE A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO SMALL CRAFT.

A HAZARDOUS SEAS WATCH IS ISSUED WHEN THE RISK OF HAZARDOUS SEAS
HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED...BUT THE SPECIFIC TIMING AND/OR
LOCATION IS STILL UNCERTAIN.  IT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL LEAD TIME FOR MARINERS WHO MAY WISH TO CONSIDER
ALTERING THEIR PLANS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
1207 PM PST FRI FEB 14 2014

.UPDATE...
UPDATES WERE MADE THIS MORNING TO THE HYDROLOGY PRODUCTS. THESE
WERE TO UPGRADE FLOOD WATCHES ON PORTIONS OF THE COQUILLE RIVER TO
WARNINGS. ADDITIONALLY, AREAL FLOOD WATCHES ACROSS THE WEST SIDE
WERE REPLACED WITH URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES FOR THE
NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. BEYOND 12 TO 24 HOURS, FLOOD WATCHES CONTINUE
ACROSS THE WEST SIDE THROUGH LATE SATURDAY EVENING.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER OF MOISTURE IS CLEARLY FOCUSED ALONG OUR
COASTLINE THIS MORNING AND WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH
SATURDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE A STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPS IT SOUTH AND
EASTWARD SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY EVENING. UPDATES THIS
MORNING FOCUSED ON HYDROLOGY PRODUCTS. GOING FORECASTS LOOK WELL
ON TRACK, EXCEPT THAT SNOW LEVELS HAVE, LUCKILY, DIPPED A TAD
LOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. UPDATES THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON WILL FOCUS ON SNOW LEVELS, WINDS, AND EXPECTED
PRECIPITATION AND HYDROLOGIC EFFECTS EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY. BTL

&&

.AVIATION...BASED ON THE 14/12Z TAF CYCLE.

A FRONT MOVING INLAND IS BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN TO THE AREA THIS MORNING. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL OVER
THE AREA TODAY WITH CONTINUED RAIN. THEN A STRONGER FRONT MOVES
INLAND ON SATURDAY. MVFR/IFR CIGS ARE PRESENT ALONG THE COAST THIS
MORNING. THESE CIGS MAY LIFT SLIGHTLY TO MAINLY MVFR IN THE
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE EXPECT A MIX OF MVFR/IFR CIGS TO PERSIST INTO
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING.  INLAND...AREAS OF MVFR CIGS THIS
MORNING  ARE EXPECTED BECOME WIDESPREAD LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. EAST OF THE CASCADES...THERE MAY BE SOME
IMPROVEMENT TO VFR LATE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS
LOW. WIDESPREAD TERRAIN OBSCURATIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR WINDS AND SEAS
TODAY INTO TONIGHT DUE TO PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS AND INCREASING WEST
SWELL. THEN LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE
AS A POWERFUL FRONT MOVES INTO THE WATERS. MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS
FRONT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE STRONG GALES TO STORM FORCE WINDS
OVER THE WATERS SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY EVENING.
PEAK WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON SATURDAY AND
POSSIBLY INTO THE EARLY EVENING.  MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO
EXPECTED TODAY AND TOMORROW. THIS STORMY PATTERN WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK WITH HIGH TO VERY HIGH SEAS...AND ALSO PERIODS
OF GALE FORCE WINDS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 AM PST FRI FEB 14 2014/

DISCUSSION...THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF STORMS IS ALREADY STARTING TO
IMPACT THE REGION. THIS HAS A GOOD FETCH OF SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE
EXTENDING FROM HAWAII RUNNING NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHWEST OREGON.
PW VALUES IN THE MOIST PLUME ARE BETWEEN 1.25-1.50 INCH RANGE. RAIN
AMOUNTS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE HEAVIEST ALONG THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS
WHERE THE SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ORIENTATION OF THE MOIST PLUME WILL
BE PERPENDICULAR TO THE TERRAIN PROVIDING ENHANCED OROGRAPHIC LIFT.
RAIN AMOUNTS WILL BE HEAVIEST IN CURRY AND WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTIES
THROUGH TONIGHT. RAIN AMOUNTS IN THESE LOCATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE BETWEEN 3 AND 6 INCHES WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES FROM THE CASCADES
WEST. SNOW LEVELS START OUT HIGH (BETWEEN 7000-8000 FEET) THEN
TEMPORALLY LOWER TO 5000-6000 FEET THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE RISING
AGAIN TONIGHT.

THE MODELS SUGGEST PRECIPITATION INTENSITY WILL DECREASE SOME THIS
EVENING ROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHIFTS SOUTH, BUT
STEADY MODERATE RAIN WILL STILL BE THE NORMAL ALONG THE COAST
RANGE. THE NEXT STORM IS DUE TO ARRIVE LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY
BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN TO THE COAST...COASTAL
MOUNTAINS AND MUCH OF THE EASTSIDE. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AND
SUBSEQUENT RUNOFF GETTING INTO THE RIVER/STREAM/CREEK SYSTEM ACROSS
THE AREA DURING THIS TIME WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE ADDITIONAL RISES AND
INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. AS A RESULT WE HAVE NUMEROUS FLOOD
PRODUCTS OUT DETAILING ALL OF THIS. CURRENT TIME SERIES SUGGEST
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE FLOODING AT COQUILLE RIVER AT
COQUILLE AND SOUTH FORK COQUILLE RIVER AT MYRTLE POINT BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS COULD CHANGE AND STAY TUNED FOR
UPDATES ON THIS.

SNOWFALL IS NOT GOING TO BE MUCH OF A FACTOR THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING AND WILL REMAIN ABOVE ALL THE PASSES AND MAINLY CONFINED TO
THE HIGHEST RIM/MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS. EVEN THEN RAIN WILL DOMINATE
MOST OF THE TIME. SNOW LEVELS WILL START TO COME DOWN SATURDAY
EVENING AND NIGHT, BUT BY THEN THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE
MOVED OUT OF THE AREA. DESPITE THIS WE CAN STILL GET SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATIONS ALONG THE CASCADES.

RAIN IS NOT THE ONLY IMPACT THIS WEEKEND. MODERATE TO STRONG WINDS
ARE ALSO PART OF THE EQUATION. WINDS WILL RAMP UP EARLY THIS MORNING
ALONG THE COAST AND EAST OF THE CASCADES. IT'S GOING TO BE A CLOSE
CALL FOR HIGH WINDS AT THE COAST TODAY, BUT THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
WARNING CRITERIA. CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER FOR STRONG WINDS EAST OF THE
CASCADES THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. I EXPANDED THE WARNING AREA SOME
TO INCLUDE HIGHWAY 31 ALONG SUMMER LAKE. MODEL SHOW 700MB WINDS
BETWEEN 50-60 KTS. WINDS ARE ALSO BLOWING IN THE SHASTA VALLEY AND
ARE LIKELY TO REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA. WE'LL SEE THE WINDS
TEMPORALLY DIMINISH TONIGHT, THEN WILL RAMP UP AGAIN SATURDAY
MORNING AS ANOTHER STRONG FRONT MOVES TOWARDS THE OREGON COAST.
WINDS ALONG THE COAST ARE EXPECTED TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO REACH
WARNING CRITERIA WITH 925MB WINDS PUSHING 70 KTS NORTH OF CAPE
BLANCO. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED EAST OF THE CASCADES
AFFECTING MUCH OF THE SAME AREAS AS TODAY, IF NOT MORE. WINDS IN THE
SHASTA VALLEY ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER WITH A STRONGER
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN REDDING AND MEDFORD AND SOUTH FLOW AT
850MB. THE NAM SUGGEST THE ROGUE VALLEY COULD GET DOWNSLOPED AND
THEY COULD GET GUSTY WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON. HAVE BUMPED UP
WINDS FOR THE AFTERNOON, BUT MAY NEED TO BE BUMPED UP FURTHER.

WE'LL FINALLY CATCH A BREAK IN THE WEATHER SUNDAY. WE'LL STILL HAVE
PRECIPITATION AROUND, BUT NOT HEAVY AND SNOW LEVELS WILL BE BELOW
PASS LEVELS ALONG THE CASCADES AND SISKIYOU SUMMIT. ANOTHER STRONG
FRONT COULD IMPACT THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON. -PETRUCELLI
