Just got this advisory in from the National Weather Service here in Medford. This is their latest forecast discussion. Remember, even in the worst weather there are ebs and flow in what happens. THE FIRST COLD FRONT HAS REACHED THE COAST WITH HIGH WINDS AT EXPOSED LOCATIONS AND HEAVY RAIN. UP TILL 7 PM...RAINFALL TOTALS WERE RATHER MODEST WITH GENERALLY A HALF INCH TO 1.50 INCHES AT THE COAST AND A HALF INCH OR LESS INLAND. THAT HAS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN THE COASTAL RANGE MOUNTAINS OF CURRY...COOS AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES REPORTING BETWEEN 0.30 AND 0.50 INCHES IN THE PAST HOUR. THIS HEAVY RAIN WILL SPREAD INLAND OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. INLAND WINDS ARE LIKELY REACHING OR NEAR TO REACHING A PEAK WEST OF THE CASCADES, BUT COULD BUILD ON THE EAST SIDE THROUGH AROUND 2 AM. THERE WILL BE A SIX TO NINE HOUR LULL BETWEEN FRONTS WITH A DECREASE IN WIND SPEEDS AND RAINFALL INTENSITY. THIS LULL WILL BE FROM LATE TONIGHT INTO MID-MORNING AT THE COAST AND GENERALLY FROM MID-MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON INLAND. THE NEXT PERIOD OF HIGH WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN WILL FOLLOW WITH STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING AND THE HEAVY RAIN INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. A COUPLE OF MUCH WEAKER FRONTS WILL FOLLOW MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH OCCASIONAL LIGHT SHOWERS...MAINLY WEST AND NORTH OF JACKSON COUNTY. A GRADUAL WARMING AND DRYING TREND IS EXPECTED FROM MID-WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
