766 FGUS76 KMFR 061932 ESFMFR ORC011-019-080000- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Medford OR 1132 AM PST Sat Dec 6 2025 ...Flood Potential Outlook for quick rises on rivers, creeks and streams in portions of Coos and Douglas counties in Oregon... A persistent storm track into the Pacific Northwest will bring periods of rain, some heavy, to Coos and Douglas counties Sunday through Wednesday. The time frame for heaviest rainfall appears to be Monday night to Wednesday. Right now, rain amounts of 2 to 4 inches are most likely with the heaviest amounts across northern Coos County and northern Douglas County along the Lane County border. Lesser amounts are expected in the Umpqua Basin south of Roseburg. Heavier rain amounts and flood impacts are more likely farther north. Main stem rivers in our area are currently running very low for this time of year and we are not expecting river flooding. In fact, none of the local river gauges are currently forecast to even get close to flood stage. However, water levels could rise quickly, especially around mid week and around some of the flashier creeks. This could be dangerous for anyone near the water. Local ponding of water on roadways could also be a hazard. Please be aware that forecasts could change. While we are not anticipating any watches or warnings at this time, watches and warnings may be issued by the National Weather Service if the situation worsens. This product will be updated or be allowed to expire as new information becomes available. $$ MAS
