Subj : HVYRAIN: Excessive Rainfall Discussion To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Sun Dec 25 2022 08:31:04 FOUS30 KWBC 250830 QPFERD Excessive Rainfall Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 330 AM EST Sun Dec 25 2022 Day 1 Valid 12Z Sun Dec 25 2022 - 12Z Mon Dec 26 2022 ....THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF COASTAL WASHINGTON AND NORTHERN OREGON... A pair of surface waves will bring a couple of rounds of moderate rainfall to the coastal ranges of the Pacific Northwest on this Christmas day. The first round of rainfall will arrive with a weak cold front this afternoon. The second round of rainfall will arrive early Monday morning as a stronger cold front supported by an upper-level shortwave trough moves into the region. PWATs will remain modest at around an inch throughout the 24 hour period. Rain rates will remain relatively low as well at around 0.1in/hr at their peak. The heaviest rainfall footprint is expected to occur over the Olympic mountains where temperatures are expected to remain above freezing. Kebede Day 2 Valid 12Z Mon Dec 26 2022 - 12Z Tue Dec 27 2022 ....THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER COASTAL PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN OREGON AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA... The slight risk area inherited from day 3 remains mostly unchanged. An atmospheric river event is expected to unfold from the southern Oregon coast to northern California on Monday. Pacific moisture will continue advecting into the Pacific Northwest on Monday morning and afternoon as Sunday's dying cold front pushes into the interior Northwest. PWATs will remain modest, though, around 1 inch. Rain rates will be between ..1-.25in/hr from the coast to the northern Cascades through Monday afternoon. A mid-latitude cyclone supported by a closed upper-level low and a 50-65kt low level jet will kick out the previous system and arrive over the Pacific Northwest early Tuesday morning. A potent moisture regime will follow and overspread the coastal ranges of southern Oregon and northern/central California. Rain rates between 0.25-0.75in/hr are likely early in the morning with the highest rates expected over the Oregon/California border. Kebede Day 3 The Day 3 outlook will be updated by 0830Z.
