AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
915 AM PST THU JAN 19 2012
.DISCUSSION...
NO UPDATES WILL BE ISSUED THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH SOME HYDROLOGY
PRODUCTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN UPDATED.
WE ARE UNDER A MAJOR STORM SERIES PRECIPITATION EVENT RIGHT
NOW...WITH EXTREME PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS IN THE LAST 24 HOURS
ACROSS COOS...CURRY...DOUGLAS...AND JOSEPHINE COUNTIES. AMOUNTS
HAVE RANGED FROM 2 TO 6+ INCHES IN JOSEPHINE AND DOUGLAS
COUNTIES...WITH AMOUNTS MOSTLY 4 TO 10 INCHES IN COOS AND CURRY
COUNTIES. DUE TO THIS VERY HEAVY PRECIPITATION THE PRIMARY FOCUS
OF THE FORECAST TODAY WILL BE THE WATER GOING INTO THE
RIVERS...PARTICULARLY THE CHETCO...UMPQUA...AND COQUILLE RIVERS.
PLEASE SEE THE LATEST GAGE AND FORECAST INFO ON OUR AHPS AND
RIVERS LINK INFO ON OUR WEB SITE FOR THE LATEST. TO SUMMARIZE...A
FLOOD WARNING EXISTS FOR THE COQUILLE AT COQUILLE AND SOUTH FORK
OF THE COQUILLE AT MYRTLE POINT. ADDITIONALLY...THERE ARE FLOOD
WATCHES FOR THE ROGUE AT AGNESS AND THE NORTH FORK OF THE COQUILLE
AT MYRTLE POINT. AN AREAL FLOOD WARNING EXISTS FOR THE CURRY
COUNTY ZONE...AND AREAL FLOOD WATCHES EXIST FOR COOS AND JOSEPHINE
COUNTY ZONES. A SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY CURRENTLY EXISTS FOR
THE COOS COUNTY ZONE.
WE EXPECT TO UPDATE THE RIVER FORECASTS LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...WIND...SNOW...AND MARINE HEADLINES
AND FORECAST PRODUCTS WILL ALSO BE UPDATED.
THE CURRENT STORM SYSTEM WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA FROM THE WEST
SOUTHWEST TODAY AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.
MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR...WITH SNOW LEVELS
CURRENTLY 3000 TO 4000 FEET OVER THE CASCADES AND SISKIYOUS AND
EAST SIDE. SNOW LEVELS IN THESE AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE 500 TO
1000 FEET TODAY.
TO SUMMARIZE...THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND THOSE JUST INLAND FROM THE
COAST HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED EXTREME PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS IN THE
LAST 24+ HOURS. MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...AND
ALL OF THIS WATER WILL NEED TO DRAIN INTO AREA WATERWAYS.
THEREFORE...THOSE ON THE WEST SIDE WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR
WATERWAYS AND FORECASTS FOR HIGH FLOWS
AND...POTENTIALLY...FLOODING.
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS EXIST AT THE PRIMARY AIRFIELDS THIS
MORNING...THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS ARE OBSCURED ABOVE 3000 FEET MSL AND
AREAS OVER AND NEAR THE HIGHER TERRAIN ARE GENERALLY MVFR TO IFR.
WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION WILL TRAVERSE THE AREA
FROM THE WEST-SOUTHWEST TODAY...TRANSITIONING TO SHOWERS MOSTLY

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 429 AM PST THU JAN 19 2012/
DISCUSSION...THE FOCUS THIS MORNING HAS BEEN MAINLY ON HYDRO AND
SNOW IMPACTS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AT 200% OF NORMAL ARE
IMPINGING UPON THE COAST. A WELL-DEFINED FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH VERY
COLD CLOUD TOPS IS DEPICTED CLEARLY ON IR IMAGERY. BASICALLY...A
FIRE HYDRANT IS POINTED DIRECTLY AT THE FORECAST AREA AND
PRECIPITATION RATES WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE THIS MORNING...HEIGHTENING
FLOODING CONCERNS. BROOKINGS AT THE COAST HAS RECORDED OVER 5
INCHES SINCE YESTERDAY MORNING...AND COULD NEARLY MATCH THAT TODAY.
A HOST OF HYDROLOGIC PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITH FLOODING
EXPECTED ALONG THE COQUILLE RIVER AND PERHAPS THE ROGUE RIVER AT
AGNESS. OTHER RIVERS ARE BEING MONITORED CLOSELY FOR RISES THIS
MORNING. SEE THE VARIOUS FLOOD WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR MORE
DETAILS. ADDITIONALLY...AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH COVERS HIGH WATER
CONCERNS IN STREAMS AND CREEKS IN COOS...CURRY...AND JOSEPHINE
COUNTIES. A TRAINED SPOTTER NOTED LAST NIGHT THE EAST FORK OF THE
COQUILLE AND BRUMMIT CREEK NEAR SITKUM WAS REACHING ITS BANKS. AN
ADDITIONAL 2 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN AT THE COAST...WILL KEEP RIVERS
RISING THROUGH TODAY.
SNOW LEVELS CONTINUE TO BE CHALLENGING...AND HAVE REFINED THEM SOME
OVERNIGHT. SNOW IS EXPECTED FROM DUNSMUIR TO NEAR WEED ALONG I-5
TODAY AS TEMPERATURES HAVE STUBBORNLY HUNG AROUND FREEZING OVERNIGHT
DESPITE RISING SNOW LEVELS MOST OTHER PLACES. A HEAVY WET SNOW IS
EXPECTED AT THESE LOCATIONS...AND IT WILL BE BORDERING ON RAIN BUT
HAVE SIDED WITH A MOSTLY SNOW FORECAST. ANOTHER HIGHLY TRAVELED

ELEVATIONS IN THE CASCADES AND EAST SIDE. A COUPLE MORE FEET OF SNOW
IS EXPECTED IN THE CASCADES WITH 5 TO 10 INCHES AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE
4500 FEET EAST OF THE CASCADES. PER RECENT OBSERVATIONS AT ANNIE
SPRINGS SNOTEL NEAR CRATER LAKE...STORM TOTALS WILL LIKELY REACH 4
FEET IN THE HIGH CASCADES ABOVE 6000 FEET.
ON THE SUBJECT OF WINDS...HIGH WINDS ARE CONTINUING NEAR THE COAST
THIS MORNING...AND COULD CAUSE DOWNED TREES WITH SATURATED SOILS.
ALSO...WITH A LITTLE MORE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE UPPER
WINDS...WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE ILLINOIS AND
ROGUE VALLEYS TODAY. WINDS ARE ALREADY RAMPING UP IN THE SHASTA
VALLEY FOR TRAVELERS ON I-5 THERE...AND THIS MAY FURTHER INTENSIFY
LATER THIS MORNING.
ANOTHER STORM WILL IMPACT THE REGION FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH WINDS
AND SNOW. HIGH WIND WATCHES FOR THE COAST AND EAST SIDE...AS WELL AS
A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE SHASTA AREA ABOVE 4000 FEET HAVE BEEN
