SPOT FORECAST FOR CFPA SEVERITY...COOS FOREST PROTECTIVE ASSN
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEDFORD OR
933 PM PDT MON AUG 19 2013

OUTLOOK IS FOR COOS PROTECTIVE AREA (FIRE WEATHER ZONES 618 AND
619)...EXCLUDING IMMEDIATE COAST. IF CONDITIONS BECOME
UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

THE FORECAST EXCLUDES THE IMMEDIATE COAST BECAUSE IT IS NOT
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE REST OF THE ZONE(S). THE PRIMARY FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS, IF ANY, ARE LISTED FOR EACH DAY.

DISCUSSION...AN UPPER LOW OFF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA WILL MOVE NORTH
ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
INITIALLY, SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL ONLY BE A CONCERN WELL EAST OF
THE COOS PROTECTIVE AREA. WE WILL HAVE OFFSHORE FLOW CONCERNS WITH
LOW HUMIDITY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY, BUT THE FLOW WILL BECOME
ONSHORE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. BY THURSDAY, THE LOW WILL BE CLOSE
ENOUGH THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER COOS PROTECTIVE
AREA. IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY EXACTLY WHERE STORMS WILL OCCUR, BUT
IF THEY DO MOVE ACROSS THE DISTRICT, THERE MAY BE A LOT OF
LIGHTNING. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY WOULD ALSO BE VERY WET.

THE UPPER LOW SHOULD DEPART BY FRIDAY AT WHICH POINT WE RETURN TO
GENERAL ONSHORE FLOW OVER THE DISTRICT WITH NORMAL TEMPERATURES
AND HUMIDITIES. AT THIS TIME, THERE IS NOTHING OF OBVIOUS CONCERN
FOR FIRE WEATHER FROM FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
