Flood Potential

Heavy rain is on the way with the heaviest falling Wednesday night south of Cape Blanco. There is a 40% probability of 2 inches in 6 hours for the coastal range Thursday morning. Heavy rain is expected again over the weekend.

More snow and rain is on the way Wednesday night through Friday morning. Active weather is expected to return later this weekend and continue through the following week as a series of fronts moves through the Pacific Northwest. The strongest front is expected Saturday into Sunday, bringing strong winds, moderate to heavy rain, and moderate to heavy snow in the Cascades above 5000 ft.

Heavy rain is expected tonight and periods of heavy rain will continue through the weekend. All of Curry and Josephine counties and parts of Siskiyou, Coos, and Douglas counties are under a slight risk for excessive rainfall Saturday morning into Sunday morning. With the risk of flooding please see the river forecasts at water.weather.gov.

Dangerous beach conditions are expected this afternoon through Friday afternoon as a strong front impacts the region. Very high and chaotic seas will result in dangerously large breaking waves of 28 to 33 ft along area beaches. Waves will inundate beaches, surge into normally dry areas, and push large logs up the beaches. Infrastructure damage and significant beach erosion can be expected. Exercise extreme caution if you risk going to area beaches. It is strongly advised to stay away from beaches during this storm.

Periods of heavy rain will start this afternoon and continue through the weekend. Significant rises are expected this weekend and are forecast to peak Sunday and Monday. Please see more information on the river forecasts at water.weather.gov.
