.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 356 AM PST MON DEC 7 2015/

DISCUSSION...STRONG SOUTH WINDS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING IN THE
COASTAL WATERS OVERNIGHT AND THE COASTAL AREAS ARE STARTING TO SEE
WINDS INCREASING TO 30-40 MPH. WINDS SHOULD BE PEAKING IN THE
COASTAL WATERS AND ALONG THE SOUTHERN OREGON COAST FROM MID
MORNING TODAY INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT WE HAVE
MAINTAINED THE HIGH WIND WARNING ALONG THE COAST AND THE WINDS
ADVISORIES. RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR TODAY WILL BE AROUND 1-1.5 INCHES
AT THE COAST AND ABOUT HALF AN INCH IN DOUGLAS AND JOSEPHINE
COUNTIES...AND AROUND A TENTH FOR THE ROGUE VALLEY. SINCE THIS IS
A MAINLY WARM FRONTAL PRECIPITATION, SNOW LEVELS WILL BE QUITE
HIGH THROUGH WEDNESDAY. BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON SOUTH WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE EAST OF THE CASCADES CONTINUING INTO TONIGHT.

TUESDAY WILL BE A SOMEWHAT QUIET WEATHER DAY. MODELS INDICATE THAT
ONSHORE FLOW WILL BRING MORE RAIN TO THE COAST WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS INLAND UP TO THE CASCADES. HOWEVER THIS WILL BE A BRIEF
LULL AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. WE
COULD BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER ROUND OF WIND EVENT TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. BOTH THE GFS AND THE ECMWF SHOW HIGH LEVEL OF TROPICAL
MOISTURE MOVING AHEAD AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE GFS PLACES THE HEAVY RAIN AREA MORE INTO SW
OREGON WHEREAS THE ECMWF SHIFTS JUST SOUTH INTO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. WE HAVE COMPROMISED ON THE LOCATION AND PAINTED BOTH
CURRY COUNTY AND WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY FOR AREAS OF MODERATE
RAIN. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR AREAL FLOODING WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ALONG WITH THE FRONT ESPECIALLY PONDING OF WATERS IN THE ROADWAYS
FOR THE COASTAL COUNTIES. ANOTHER STRONGER FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY.

COLD AIR IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO OUR FORECAST AREA AROUND
THURSDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND.
WITH LOWER SNOW LEVELS AND NW FLOW ALOFT, THE MOUNTAINS SHOULD SEE
DECENT SNOW ACCUMULATION IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. WE DONT
THINK IT WILL BE A WARNING TYPE SNOW EVENT BUT ENOUGH TO ADD SNOW
TO THE BASE AT LEAST. /FB
