An active storm track will remain over the area through at least early next week. A fast-moving disturbance will spread light to moderate precipitation back over the area from west to east later tonight into Friday. Snow levels will be quite low initially, down around 1000-1500 feet. This is followed by a moist, atmospheric river system late Saturday into Sunday. Each of these systems is expected to bring snow and wind impacts to portions of the area. Total precipitation will range from 4 to 8 inches through Monday. This combined with some snow melt will cause increased runoff. Water levels are expected to rise Saturday and Sunday, especially for rivers and streams west of the Cascades. While forecasts could change as the situation becomes more clear, the most recent river forecast predicts flood stage to be reached by Saturday night on Deer Creek near Roseburg and by Sunday night on the Rogue River near Agness. The South Fork Coquille River at Myrtle Point is forecast to crest just below flood stage. Other rivers and streams will also see large rises that could be dangerous for anyone near the water. A flood potential outlook is issued when there is the potential for significant rises or flooding along rivers and streams. The exact scenario for flooding remains uncertain. This product will be updated as necessary. Watches and warnings may be issued by the National Weather Service if this situation worsens. $$ SH
