AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
421 AM PST WED DEC 9 2015

.DISCUSSION...A VERY WELL DEFINED LINE OF PRECIPITATION IS MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING...ACCOMPANIED BY VERY STRONG WINDS.
THIS PRECIP BROUGHT VERY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES TO PORTIONS OF THE
COAST WITH ONE REPORT OF OVER AN INCH AND A HALF IN COOS BAY THIS
MORNING WITH URBAN FLOODING. HAVE EXPANDED THE AREAL FLOOD WATCH
UP THE COAST AND AN URBAN AND SMALL STEAM FLOODING ADVISORY IN
POTIONS OF COOS COUNTY AS WELL UNTIL 7 AM. WITH RISING TIDES EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON AND PREVIOUS REPORTS OF SOME MINOR LEVEE LEAKS IN
THE BUNKER HILL AREA OF COOS BAY...A REPEAT OF THIS LEAKING IS
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. SMALL STREAMS...URBAN STREETS...CREEKS
AND RIVERS WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO RECEDE A BIT AHEAD OF THE NEXT
SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE IN LATE THIS AFTERNOON ON THE NOSE OF A
165KT JET. BROAD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
WILL COMBINE WITH OROGRAPHIC LIFT AND STRONG JET DYNAMICS IN THE
LEFT EXT REGION OF THE JET TO PRODUCE BROAD STRONG OMEGA FIELD
OVER THE AREA TONIGHT. THIS ALL WILL ALSO COMBINE WITH A STRONG
MOISTURE FLOW FEEDING INTO THE REGION TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL RATES AT TIMES. AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES OVER THE
COAST...THE SOUTHWEST COASTAL RANGE AND PORTIONS OF FAR WEST
SISKIYOU COUNTY. WITH VERY STRONG 700 MB WINDS AROUND 80KT WITH
THIS SYSTEM HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY
FOR THE CASCADES AND PORTIONS OF THE SISKIYOUS..WARNERS AND HIGHER
ELEVATIONS AROUND THE MOUNT SHASTA AREA. THIS WEEKEND CONTINUES TO
LOOK VERY WET AS WELL...AND WITH THE TRIPLE POINT LINGER OVER THE
REGION FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE AND THE PRECEDING ADDITIONAL SNOW PACK
POST FRONT WITH THURSDAYS SYSTEM COMBINING WITH PROLONGED HEAVY
RAIN RATES...MAIN STEM RIVER FLOODING SEEMS QUITE POSSIBLE LATE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SVEN

&&

.AVIATION...FOR THE 09/06Z TAF CYCLE...ONE MAIN CONCERN AT ALL 4
TERMINALS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND SHEAR TONIGHT. THERE ARE VERY
STRONG WINDS ALOFT THAT EVEN WITH THE PRESENCE OF 20 KNOT WIND AT THE
SURFACE FOR KOTH WILL STILL RESULT IN SPEED SHEAR. BASED ON THE 20
KNOT CHANGE PER LOWEST 2000 FEET, THERE WILL ALSO BE ENOUGH SHEAR
EVEN AT KLMT. OTHERWISE A MOIST ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
LIGHT, MAINLY COASTAL SHOWERS. BUT THERE WILL ALSO BE LOCAL MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS IN THE COASTAL RANGES AND ALONG THE CASCADES. WINDS WILL
INCREASE INTO TONIGHT AS THE NEXT FRONT APPROACHES. THIS FRONT WILL
BRING HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS TO THE COAST BY LATE TONIGHT,
THEN SPREADING INLAND WITH IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY MORNING.
BTL/FB

&&

.MARINE...UPDATED 900 PM PST TUESDAY 8 DEC 2015...A FRONT WILL BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF GALES AND VERY STEEP SEAS TO THE WATERS TONIGHT. A
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BRIEFLY WEDNESDAY. A LOW PRESSURE WILL
RAPIDLY DEEPEN AND MOVE NORTHWEST OF THE WATERS WEDNESDAY EVENING. A
STRONG COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY WEAKER OVER THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS, BUT
IT STILL APPEARS TO BE A VERY STRONG SYSTEM WITH HIGH END GALES TO
PERHAPS A BRIEF PERIOD OF STORM FORCE WINDS. IN LINE WITH THE WEAKER
SOLUTION...RATHER THAN PREVIOUS INDICATIONS OF 30 TO 35 FEET
SEAS...SWELL DOMINATED SEAS ARE NOW EXPECTED TO BE 25 TO 30 FEET
THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING. A SERIES OF STORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE WATERS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. BTL/FB
