LOT OF RAIN IS HEADED OUR WAY A
LOT AND IT'S GONNA BE MEASURED
IN MAYBE A COUPLE OF INCHES
HEADING INTO BASICALLY THE
WEEKEND AND THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK.
THE GOOD NEWS THOUGH IS WE'RE
DRY FOR THE TIME BEING.

CHANGE THOUGH HEADING INTO
SATURDAY NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY
INTO SUNDAY WITH THAT MUCH RAIN

TWO TO THREE POTENTIALLY INCHES
OF RAIN.

OF RAIN. THERE IS THE CONCERN OF SEEING
SOME AREAS OF FLOODING, RISING
STREAMS, URBAN STREET FLOODING
AS WELL.
AS WELL.
AS WELL. BUT AS WE GET TO THE SATELLITE
AND RADAR, THIS IS KIND OF WHAT
YOUR THURSDAY NIGHT IS GOING TO
BE LOOKING LIKE.
WE'RE GONNA BE SEEING SOME DRY
CONDITIONS OUT THERE.
WE SAW JUST SOME LIGHT AMOUNTS
OF RAIN SO FAR TODAY BUT
THROUGHOUT THE OREGON CASCADES
UNTIL 10:00 TONIGHT.
STILL WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
IS IN PLACE WILL BE TRAVELING

JUST ABOUT A HALF OF A FOOT
OF SNOW AND YOU'LL START TO SEE
MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF SOME SNOW

OF HOURS.
OF HOURS.
OF HOURS. BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE ARE
GOING TO BE SEEING SOME DRIER
CONDITIONS AS WE LOOK AT YOUR
WEATHER HEADLINES.
WEATHER HEADLINES. WE GET A BREAK FROM THE RAIN AS
I IS TELLING AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE DRY
CONDITIONS MOVING INTO A GOOD
PART OF TOMORROW AS WELL.
FRIDAY IS GONNA BE DRY DURING
THE DAYLIGHT HOURS AGAIN HEAVY
RAIN MOVES ONSHORE.
LATE SATURDAY AND INTO EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING AND THAT'S THE
PART WHERE YOU START TO SEE THE
HEAVIEST DOWNPOURS FOR THE
WEEKEND BASICALLY A GOOD PART
OF SUNDAY.
OF SUNDAY. A LOT OF MODELS ARE SHOWING WE
DON'T GET MUCH OF A BREAK FROM
THE RAIN FOR THE ENTIRE DAY ON
SUNDAY BECAUSE OF THAT MUCH
RAIN.
RAIN.

AREAS OF FLOODING.
I'LL SHOW YOU THE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS IN JUST A SECOND.
AND AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK NOW
OVER IN THE OREGON COAST WE'RE
LOOKING AT TWO MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES TEMPERATURE RIGHT NOW.
FORTY SEVEN DEGREES OVER AND
CAN BE JUST A SLIVER OF SOME
PINKS GUY OUT THERE IN THE
DISTANCE ABOVE THE PACIFIC.
MEANWHILE HERE THROUGHOUT THE
METRO AREA WE'RE LOOKING AT A
TEMPERATURE OF FORTY NINE
DEGREES IS FROM OUR WELLS FARGO
CAMERA.

CAMERA. TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO
REMAIN RIGHT AROUND THE UPPER
40S, LOW 50S FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS AND WINDS ARE
PRETTY LIGHT.
PRETTY LIGHT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS LIKE IT.
YOU'RE PRETTY LIGHT AMOUNTS.
THE BIG NUMBERS THOUGH CAME
ALONG THE OREGON COAST OVER IN
PARTS OF NEWPORT AND THAT STORY
SO CLOSE TO AN INCH OF RAIN AS
WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE CAST.
PUT THIS INTO MOTION SO WE'RE
GOING TO BE DRY THE REST
OF YOUR THURSDAY NIGHT AND INTO
MUCH OF FRIDAY.
>> BUT AFTER SUNSET TOMORROW IS
WHEN WE'LL BE SEEING SOME THAT
RAIN MOVE BACK INTO THE
PICTURE.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME
DRY CONDITIONS OUT THERE.
AND THEN LOOKING INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT IS RIGHT AROUND LATE
AFTERNOON EARLY PART OF THE
EVENING IS WE'LL BE SEEING THE
RAIN MOVE BACK AND THAT'S WHEN
WE'RE GOING TO START TO SEE
SOME OF THESE HEAVIER CELLS
MOVE THROUGH UP IN THE OREGON
CASCADES, SNOW LEVELS WILL BE
JUMPING RIGHT ABOVE PAST LEVELS
UP TO ABOUT 7000 FEET WILL BE
TRAVELING OVER THE MOUNT PASSES
AND ALL THIS WEEKEND YOU'RE NOT
GONNA BE HAVING ANY ISSUES
TRAVELING BUT JUST BE PREPARED
FOR SOME, YOU KNOW, HEAVY
DOWNPOURS NOT JUST THROUGHOUT
THE COW'S VALLEY BUT EVEN INTO
THE OREGON CASCADES.
SO AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT SOME
OF THESE NUMBERS, THEY'RE GOING
TO BE PRETTY IMPRESSIVE HEADING
INTO THE LATER PART OF THE
WEEKEND ESPECIALLY DOWN THROUGH
PARTS OF SALEM AND THE CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN PART OF ALEMA
VALLEY ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO
THREE INCHES OF RAINFALL.
SOME MODELS ARE SHOWING UP IN
THE COAST RANGE.
THERE COULD BE ANYWHERE FROM
THREE TO SIX INCHES OF RAIN
WITH THAT MUCH RAIN COMING DOWN
IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
THAT'S WHY THERE IS GOING TO BE
CONCERN FOR SOME AREAS OF MINOR
FLOODING.
FLOODING.

WARNINGS RIGHT NOW UP ON THE
OREGON CASCADES.
