   Excessive Rainfall Discussion

   Day 1   
   Valid 12Z Tue Dec 16 2025 - 12Z Wed Dec 17 2025   
      
   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER PORTIONS OF   
   THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...   
      
   Maintained the previously issued Marginal Risk area from   
   Washington southward along the Cascades and the coastal ranges into   
   northwest California today and tonight. Yet another round of   
   precipitation will be spreading from west to east across portions   
   of Washington and Oregon. Cooler air coming in behind the system   
   should result in mountain snows and rain for the lowlands and   
   mountain passes today into tonight. There should be a separate area   
   of mainly rain and some higher level snows that gets directed into   
   the southwest portion and northwest corner of California with   
   amounts locally enhanced by orographic influences. The previous   
   outlook largely covered this scenario so few changes were   
   needed.Once again...some overlap between the excessive rainfall   
   areas and mountain snowfall amounts was unavoidable but we tried=20   
   to keep the ERO away from the placement of the WPC Winter Weather=20   
   Desk snow amounts of 6 inches or greater.   
      
   The overall synoptic pattern continued to show the deepest moisture   
   and broadest coverage of rainfall arriving in association with the   
   surface cold front around 17/00Z and the diminishing QPF as the   
   area gets whisked eastward.

   Day 2   
   Valid 12Z Wed Dec 17 2025 - 12Z Thu Dec 18 2025   
      
   The probability of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance is less   
   than 5 percent.   
      
   QPF from the 16/00Z operational and ensemble guidance continued to   
   trend down with a correspondingly smaller risk of excessive=20   
   rainfall. That...combined with the higher precipitation amounts   
   being confined to higher elevations in Washington where   
   precipitation type would mainly be snow...should limit the overall risk   
   of excessive rainfall to less than 5 percent.=20

   Day 3   
   Valid 12Z Thu Dec 18 2025 - 12Z Fri Dec 19 2025   
      
   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF   
   WESTERN OREGON AND PORTIONS OF ADJOINING STATES...   
      
   The next in a series of Atmospheric Rivers will arrive early   
   Thursday with its axis of greatest moisture transport being=20   
   directed primarily along the western coast of Oregon...with maximum   
   IVT values in excess of 800 kg per meter per second largely being=20   
   directed perpendicular into the coastal ranges early in the period.   
   Global models continue to advertise the possibility of 6 inches or   
   more of rainfall during the period...and comparing the WPC 24hr=20   
   QPF to ARI yielded a broad swath exceeding the 2-5 year return=20   
   intervals. It was also worth noting that the highest ARIs were just   
   to the east of the crest of the Cascades where an axis of 25-100=20   
   year exceedance intervals was depicted. This does seem like a=20   
   scenario where more spillover into the normally drier downslope=20   
   areas is plausible, so could be an impactful event even into some=20   
   of those areas. Consequently, the Day 3 excessive rainfall outlook=20   
   expanded the Slight Risk eastward in Oregon to cover areas with QPF   
   in excess of 5 inches and the highest ARI values mentioned above=20   
   given the concern for spillover. Snowfall within this area should=20   
   be confined to the higher elevations.
