SPREADING >> IT. KEELY CHALMERS, KGW NEWS >>.
LET'S BRING MATT ZAFFINO BACK
IN TO GET A TIMELINE OF WHEN
AND HOW MUCH MORE RAIN AND WIND
WE'RE GOING TO GET AND WHERE
THIS IS ALL COMING FROM MATT.
YEAH, THAT'S >> RIGHT.
AUREL YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S BEEN REALLY, REALLY HEAVY
SINCE THIS MORNING.
LOOK AT THESE WIND GUSTS THAT
WE HAD.
WE HAD.
WE HAD. THIS IS FROM THE FIRST ROUND.
THE SECOND ROUND WILL COME IN
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. WE HAD A GUST OF SIXTY SIX
MILES AN HOUR K8 DISAPPOINTMENT
CLATSOP SPLIT SIXTY ONE MILES
AN HOUR NEWPORT FIFTY FIVE IN
LINCOLN CITY FIFTY MILES AN
HOUR AND IT'S STILL ROCKING AND
ROLLING DOWN IN NEWPORT.
LOOK AT THAT.
I ALMOST FEEL LIKE THIS CAMERA
SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN AWAY BY
NOW IT'S BEEN DOING THIS SINCE
LAST NIGHT.
LAST NIGHT. THE WINDS SUSTAINED AT THIRTY
FIVE BUT THE GUSTS HAVE BEEN
HIGHER.
HIGHER.
HIGHER. THE RAINFALL TOTALS TOO.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE HEAVIER
ONES.
ONES.
ONES. I'LL NEED TO UPDATE THESE THESE
SHOWS AS OF ABOUT AN HOUR AND A
HALF AGO OVER FIVE INCHES AT
BULL RUN THE MT. HOOD WEST SIDE
OF MOUNT HOOD JUNE LAKE ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF MOUNT ST. HELENS
FIVE POINT TWO INCHES
HUCKLEBERRY IBOSHI BRACKENBURY
THAT'S UP IN THE HILLS
OF SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON INLAND
FROM THE COAST FIVE POINT TO
SIX AND THE COAST RANGE
OF OREGON FIVE POINT FOUR TO
SOUTHPARK THAT'S THE MOST I'VE
SEEN LARGE MT. WASHINGTON ALSO
OVER THREE INCHES OF RAIN AND
APPROACHING THREE INCHES
OF RAIN UP AT TIMBERLINE LODGE
RIGHT NOW BOTH TIMBERLINE AND
MOUNT HOOD MEADOWS CLOSED TODAY
FOR VERY GOOD REASON THE WIND
AND THE RAIN >> OH THE WIND AND
THE RAIN.
THE RAIN.
THE RAIN. OK, YOU >> CAN SEE ON DOPPLER
RADAR THE RAIN IS BEGINNING TO
FILL IN OFF THE COAST RIGHT NOW
AS OUR SECOND SURGE TAKES SHAPE
THIS IS GOING TO COME ALONG
WITH A COLD FRONT.
WE BASICALLY HAD A WARM FRONT
GO BY THIS MORNING WITH THE
RAIN IN THE WIND.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE A COLD
FRONT COME ON SHORE.
THERE'S STILL THIS FLOOD WATCH
OUT AND IN URBAN AND SMALL
STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THE
AREA HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN HERE
THE COAST ALSO UNDER A COASTAL
FLOOD ADVISORY BECAUSE WE HAVE
VERY HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES
WITH THE NEW MOON TODAY.
SO YOU ALWAYS GET MORE WATER
WITH THAT.
WITH THAT. SO THE COASTAL ADVISORY IS THE
SALTWATER FLOODING ISSUE BEING
AGGRAVATED BY ALL THE FRESH
WATER RUSHING DOWN THE RIVERS
RIGHT NOW AND THERE CERTAINLY
IS A LOT OF THAT.
HERE'S THE SATELLITE IMAGERY
AND YOU CAN SEE THE WEATHER
SYSTEM BEGINNING TO FORM UP
RIGHT ABOUT OUT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE
CIRCULATION CENTER FORMING THE
COLD FRONT WILL EXTEND TO THE
SOUTH AND WEST OF THAT AND THIS
WHOLE THING WILL MOVE THROUGH
NOW THE MOISTURE FEED IS
BEGINNING TO GET CUT OFF.
I'M SEEING DISCONTINUOUS LINE
OF CLOUD RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS AND THAT
MEANS WE'LL BEGIN TO SEE THE
END OF THIS.
BUT THE ORIGINS OF THIS GO WAY
DOWN TO THE TROPICS, NOT ON THE
EASTERN PACIFIC BUT WAY DOWN
THE WESTERN PACIFIC.
SO THIS CAME FROM WELL BEYOND
HAWAII.
HAWAII.
HAWAII. THIS CAME FROM INDONESIA.
THAT'S HOW FAR AWAY THIS CAME.
THIS IS WHAT'S CALLED AN
ATMOSPHERE RIVER WHICH IS A
CONCENTRATED FLOW OF AIR AND
THE LOWER PART OF THE
ATMOSPHERE.
ATMOSPHERE. IT'S ALSO UNDERNEATH THE STRONG
JET STREAM.
JET STREAM. SO BOTH THINGS WORKING FOR
CONSPIRING FOR THE BIG STORMY
DAY THAT WE'VE HAD TODAY.
NOW THAT'LL PEAK AGAIN TONIGHT
WITH THIS COLD FRONT GOES ON
THROUGH PROBABLY ABOUT 10:00 OR
SO.
SO.
SO. THAT'S WHERE THE LINES CONVERSA
THE WINDS CONVERGE RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S THE COLD FRONT.
THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GET THE
STRONGEST WINDS.
STRONGEST WINDS. SO ABOUT 9:00, 10:00 ON THE
COAST A LITTLE BIT LATER HERE
IN THE VALLEYS, THEN SUDDENLY
IT JUST TURNS OFF.
I MEAN WEDNESDAY IS MAINLY A
DRY DAY TO MORROW, SOME SHOWERS
IN THE MORNING THEN IT CLEARS
OUT AND THEN IT STAYS CLEAR OR
AT LEAST DRY UNTIL FRIDAY.
BUT THAT'S NOT A VERY STRONG
SYSTEM THAT WASHES OUT QUICKLY
AND THE WEEKEND SYSTEM SATURDAY
SUNDAY IF WE GET ANY RAIN IT'S
GOING TO BE LIGHT AND WON'T
LAST VERY LONG.
SO MUCH THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST
IS DRY BUT WE STILL HAVE
ANOTHER INCH OR SO OF RAIN TO
GET THROUGH TONIGHT IN THE
VALLEYS, MAYBE TWO INCHES UP IN
THE CASCADES.
THE CASCADES. SO WE'RE NOT DONE WITH THIS.
WE HAVE TO GET THE SECOND
SEARCH THROUGH TONIGHT TOMORROW
MORNING SHOWERS THEN IT DRIES
OUT GET UP TO ABOUT 50 FOR
TOMORROW WHICH IS FOUR DEGREES
FIVE DEGREES COOLER THAN OUR
FIFTY NINE OF TODAY IN PORTLAND
.
.
. EVEN
. EVEN TROUTDALE HIT SIXTY THAT
FIFTY NINE IN PORTLAND, THREE
SHY OF THE RECORD FOR THIS DAY.
STILL SOME SNOW IN NORTHEAST
OREGON AROUND BAKER CITY WE'VE
HAD ISSUES WITH SNOW ON HIGHWAY
EIGHTY FOUR THROUGH THE BLUE
MOUNTAINS IN PORTLAND RIGHT NOW
IT'S FIFTY NINE SOUTH WINDS
WILL PICK UP OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
ON THE COAST RAINY AND WINDY
TONIGHT THEN THE SHOWERS AND
TOMORROW WE MAY GET SOME GUSTS
OF SIXTY FIVE MILES AN HOUR ON
THE COAST.
THE COAST. THERE IS A HIGH WIND WARNING
OUT THERE AS WELL FOR THE
VALLEY'S RAINY AND WINDY
TONIGHT AND THEN SHOWERS AND
THEN SUN TOMORROW AS THINGS
BEGIN TO DRY OUT.
MORE RAIN TONIGHT AND WIND
GUSTS.
GUSTS.
GUSTS. FORTY FIVE IN THE PORTLAND AREA
WHICH MEANS THERE COULD BE DOWN
TREE LINES, COULD BE SOME POWER
LINES DOWN AND THEN LOOK,
LAUREL, OTHER THAN THOSE
SHOWERS ON FRIDAY IT'S DRY.
SHOULD BE A REALLY NICE MLK
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND. LET >> ME JUST SAY I'M
