Water conservation requested in Lincoln County, Oregon

5 years 11 months ago
The city of Newport’s reservoirs have reached a critical low point with pumping to resume from the Siletz River. Newport voluntarily suspended pumping from the river on July 29, due to low flows. All non-essential water use was suspended and water conservation was encouraged. The cities of Newport, Toledo and Siletz and the Seal Rock Water District encourage water conservation until the flow of the Siletz River improves. News Lincoln County.com (Newport, Ore.), Sept. 7, 2019 Lincoln County residents were urged to limit their water use because the Siletz River was low. Newport officials stopped pumping water from the Siletz River, but will do so when necessary. Residents of Newport, Toledo and Siletz were asked to curb water use as much as possible.

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1147 PM CDT Fri Sep 06 2019 Valid 071200Z - 081200Z ...Synopsis... A mid/upper-level shortwave trough -- located over the northern Rockies vicinity Day 1/Saturday morning -- is forecast to move eastward over the northern/central plains through the day. Meanwhile, an upstream negatively tilted mid-level trough and attendant area of enhanced mid-level flow are forecast to move onshore over portions of the western CONUS through the overnight. ...Southern California: Santa Barbara South Coast... Sundowner winds are expected to increase across portions of the Santa Barbara South Coast and adjacent foothills Day 1/Saturday afternoon/evening as northerly low-level flow is enhanced with the aforementioned trough passing over the Pacific Northwest. While sustained surface winds will generally remain around 15-20 mph, strong wind gusts of 25-40 mph are possible (locally 50+ mph in terrain favored areas). Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are expected as these winds overlap areas with minimum RH value around 15-20% (locally below 15%) and receptive fuels for fire spread. Poor RH recoveries may promote elevated fire weather conditions through the overnight and into Day 2/Sunday morning -- especially in areas above 1000 ft where RH values may remain below 20%. ...Pacific Northwest into Nevada... Thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage over portions of the Cascades in Oregon/Washington (and perhaps far Northern California) during the late afternoon/evening as ascent associated with the aforementioned negatively tilted trough moves onshore. While a lightning ignition remains possible, thunderstorms should remain mostly wet precluding an isolated dry thunderstorm area. A slightly better chance for a lightning ignition exists across Nevada, where thunderstorms should develop during the afternoon. While storm motions will be relatively fast and precipitable water values generally around 0.75", recent precipitation over the past few days coupled with the expected scattered to widespread coverage precludes an isolated dry thunderstorm area at this time. ..Elliott.. 09/07/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Tropical Storm Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 24

5 years 11 months ago
Issued at 500 PM HST Fri Sep 06 2019 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 070231 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Juliette Discussion Number 24 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112019 500 PM HST Fri Sep 06 2019 Juliette continues to slowly weaken. Cloud tops have gradually warmed since the last advisory and several recent microwave overpasses show that convection is now limited to the eastern half of the cyclone. The intensity has been lowered to 55 kt based on the latest TAFB Dvorak fix. No substantial changes were made to the NHC track or intensity forecasts. Juliette is located over 23-24 deg C waters, and will remain over fairly cool waters for the next several days. Continued weakening appears inevitable and Juliette is forecast to become a remnant low within 48 h. Although the system will reach marginally warmer waters to the west by the end of the forecast period, it will have weakened enough that significant regeneration is unlikely at that time. The initial motion remains west-northwestward at 11 kt. Juliette should turn westward on Saturday as it weakens further and is steered entirely by low-level easterly flow. All of the models forecast that the tropical storm/remnant low will then continue westward for several days thereafter. The NHC forecast is very close to the East Pacific multi-model consensus TVCE.

Strong storms could still pose at least some risk for severe hail and wind across parts of eastern Wyoming into mid evening. ...01Z Outlook Update... Strong convection lingers within weak surface troughing north through east of the Laramie mountains. This includes a small cluster of storms north of Douglas WY, which may be supported by forcing associated with a locally enhanced area of warm advection. Beneath 30-40 kt west-southwesterly 500 mb flow, deep layer shear across eastern Wyoming is strong, and boundary layer instability may remain sufficient to maintain at least some severe hail/wind risk into the 01-03Z time frame. Overnight, a broader area of lower/mid tropospheric warm advection may maintain thunderstorm development eastward through portions of western and central South Dakota and Nebraska, before diminishing. Otherwise, a couple of strong storms may linger through mid evening across parts of the northern intermountain region and Great Basin. However, due to increasingly sparse coverage, severe weather potential is becoming increasingly negligible. ..Kerr.. 09/07/2019 Read more

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage has gradually increased over the past few hours as lift attendant to the shortwave trough moving through the northern Rockies interacts with an air mass destabilized by daytime heating and modest upslope flow. Overall, storms have quickly become outflow dominant, largely a result of limited instability and strong dry air entrainment. Well-defined outflow moving northeastward into east-central WY will continue to promote brief updrafts along its leading edge. Some additional, more cellular activity is possible along the lee troughing. A deeply mixed boundary layer will contribute to the potential for strong downbursts. ..Mosier/Thompson.. 09/06/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

The Canyon 66 prescribed burn began Tuesday, September 3 on the Lookout Mountain Ranger District of Ochoco National Forest with the intent to treat just over 5,000 acres over the course of two or three days.The Lookout Mountain Ranger District of the Ochoco National Forest first attempted the treatment last fall, but called off the project because fuels were too dry. This year, fuels within the unit have been too wet and green to attempt the burn. Managers expect that with current hot weather, fuels within the Canyon 66 unit will dry enough to adequately consume and meet prescription.Preparation work that began last year was finished prior to the burn. Workers prepared containment lines around the unit by removing brush, tree limbs, and other fuels, and digging hand lines in strategic places. Signs notifying the public of the planned activities are located around the unit. Drone reconnaissance is ongoing. Firefighters from Crook County Fire & Rescue, the Sunriver Fire Department, and...

Tropical Storm Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 23

5 years 11 months ago
Issued at 1100 AM HST Fri Sep 06 2019 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 062037 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Juliette Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112019 1100 AM HST Fri Sep 06 2019 Deep convection associated with Juliette has continued to gradually decrease in coverage and organization today. The various satellite intensity estimates have continued to slowly decline, and now support an initial intensity of 60 kt. The tropical storm will be moving over cooler waters and into a more stable environment during the next 24 to 36 hours. This should result in steady weakening and Juliette is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low in 36 to 48 hours. The system will be moving back over slightly warmer waters later in the forecast period, but westerly shear should prevent any re-organization. Juliette is now moving west-northwestward or 295/11 kt. There has been no change to the track forecast reasoning. The cyclone should continue west-northwestward tonight, and then turn westward on Saturday as it weakens and is steered by the low-level easterly flow. The track guidance remains in good agreement but has trended slightly faster once again. The new official forecast was adjusted accordingly, and is once again near the TVCE multi-model consensus.
