Hi folks:
I just returned from a National Weather Service briefing at the court house. I Want to make sure you all have as much info as possible. Ron, will you pass along on the web and other sources you have. This is a summary of this weekend's forecasted activities:
Winds: Southerly, starting Saturday and becoming stronger until they attain sustained winds of 50 mph w/gusts on 70 Sunday afternoon. By Sunday midnight and into Monday morning winds will increase to 60-65` mpg and gusts 80-100 mph.
Rain: Sunday and Monday rain accumulations on the coast should be about 2-3 inches. No river flooding is anticipated along the coast, even with heavy snow in the mountains.
Snow: Expect 1" on the valley floor, 2-4 inches in the gorge, 2-3" in the coast range and 12-18" in the cascades. Travel over the mountains will be bad, to say the least
Surf: Expect 36-40 ft surf. The beaches will be extremely dangerous.
Temperatures: Temps will remain in the 40's locally
Emergency information: KYTE, 102.7, is the official emergency radio station. If power is out and KYTE can no longer transmit, Bend station 111.0 can be received here and will broadcast information about the coast.
Let's hope this storm is not as wicked as predicted, but you should all have your emergency kits handy (water, light, foods, etc) if or when the power goes out.
Spread the word and be careful out there.
Dan
