Brookings, OR – A new round of widespread rainfall is expected across southern Oregon and Northern California beginning Saturday night, Nov. 14, and continuing through Sunday, Nov. 15, with nearly 2 inches forecast near Brookings and locally heavier rainfall possible along portions of the coast.
According to the National Weather Service in Medford, a frontal system moving through the region will bring mostly beneficial rainfall, although periods of heavier rain could create localized ponding on roadways.
The latest forecast, issued Saturday at 5:11 a.m. Pacific, shows the highest rainfall totals concentrated across Curry County, Oregon, and western and southern Siskiyou County, California.
Along the southern Oregon coast, forecast rainfall amounts include approximately 2.01 inches near Gold Beach, 1.97 inches near Brookings and 1.79 inches near Port Orford.
Farther north, Bandon could receive around 1.06 inches, while North Bend is forecast to receive approximately 0.91 inches.
Inland communities are expected to see generally lighter rainfall.
The forecast indicates approximately 0.82 inches near Cave Junction, 0.37 inches near Medford, 0.30 inches near Grants Pass and 0.23 inches near Klamath Falls.
Across Northern California, rainfall totals could reach approximately 1.21 inches near Mount Shasta, 0.99 inches near Somes Bar and 0.88 inches near Happy Camp.
Despite the widespread precipitation, forecasters emphasize that the rainfall should be mostly beneficial for the region.
However, drivers should remain cautious during the heaviest showers, especially where fallen leaves have blocked storm drains or drainage systems are unable to handle rainfall quickly.
Temporary water accumulation could develop on streets, intersections and other low lying roadway locations.
Residents traveling Saturday night or Sunday should allow extra time and avoid driving through standing water.
