Isolated flash flooding could result, with a particular focus across burn scars. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery from GOES West at 00Z showed the low to mid-level reflection of a closed low west of the northern CA coast containing a number of smaller scale vorticity maxima rotating about the low center. In addition, another vorticity max was located inland, over northern Douglas County in southwestern OR, moving toward the north. Scattered thunderstorms were observed through radar/satellite imagery along and just west of the Cascades and across portions of the Klamath Mountains of southwestern OR. While PW values were anomalous for early September (+2 to +3 standardized anomalies), instability was somewhat limited with pockets of 500-1000 J/kg in place over the region via 00Z SPC mesoanalysis data. Deeper layer mean flow was from the south at 10-20 kt, similar to the low level inflow layer, which was favoring repeating and brief training of cells in a few locations. While the threat appears isolated, there will be the potential for cells to generate rainfall of an inch within 60 minutes or less time. These localized higher rainfall rates could overlap with sensitive terrain or burn scars to result in isolated flash flooding. The flash flood threat is likely to diminish with the loss of daytime heating and reduction in instability after 04Z.
