Churchill Day 2 Valid 12Z Fri Dec 09 2022 - 12Z Sat Dec 10 2022 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FROM FAR SOUTHWEST OREGON INTO NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA... ....2030z Update... Little change to the inherited Marginal Risk area, with some minor expansion inland to reflect relatively high snow levels (rising to 5000-6000 feet) during the primary period of precipitation (00-12z Saturday). Models remain in good agreement concerning this period of interest, with the 12z HRRR indicating localized hourly rates of 0.50-0.75"/hr. The occasionally repeating nature of these rates may result in localized totals over 6-12 hours as high as 3-4 inches, which may result in isolated instances of flash flooding (with particular vulnerability over burn scars and low-lying areas with poor drainage). Churchill ....Previous Discussion... There is fairly good agreement in the latest model guidance with the amplification of the upper trof off the Pac NW coast late Friday afternoon into the early hours of Saturday. This will strengthen the low level southwesterly flow into coastal sections from northwestern California into Oregon, with 850-700 mb moisture flux anomalies reaching 2 to 2.5+ standard deviations above the mean from far southwest Oregon into northwestern California. This will support heavy precipitation during the 0000-1200 UTC Saturday time period across the marginal risk area, with isolated hourly rates of .50"+ possible. The axis of anomalous onshore flow will, however, be fairly progressive to the southeast. This and only slightly above average precip values over the past week for northwest California will keep the risk level at marginal at best. There were no significant changes from the previous outlook for this period. Oravec Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 2030Z.
