National Weather Service: Latest Lincoln City storm update

The latest warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Portland on high winds, high surf and flooding.

“This is the strongest storm we have seen all year,” a NWS spokesperson said. “This is a team effort and we are running forecast models to ensure high probability predictions.”

High winds

High wind warning remains in effect from noon Monday until noon Tuesday. South wind 30-45 mph is expected with gusts up to 70 mph for coastal communities such as Lincoln City, Newport, Yachats and Florence.

South winds 40-55 mph with gusts up to 80 mph are expected on beaches and headlands. Areas impacted include but are not limited to, Roads End in Lincoln City, Gleneden Beach and Cape Foulweather.

Peak wind timing – 6 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. Tuesday.

High Surf

A high surf warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday.

NWS is warning of a high danger of sneaker waves and urging citizens to stay off beaches and nearby rocks.

Surf will increase Monday evening with breakers of 28-38 feet.

Do not walk or climb on jetties, rocks or low coastal cliffs as it will be extremely hazardous. Stay out of the surf zone, especially this afternoon through Tuesday. Large drift logs and other floating debris could be hidden in the surf zone, and could be tossed onto the beach or rocks with little if any warning. Significant erosion of sand and dunes can be expected.

Flooding

A flood watch is in effect from late Monday night through Wednesday afternoon.

Periods of heavy rain starting Monday afternoon through Tuesday will result in sharp rises on many rivers and creeks across Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington, and minor flooding is possible.

Rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected for the coast and the Siletz River is of particular concern to NWS.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

Landslides and debris flows are possible during this flood event. People, structures and roads located below steep slopes, in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk from rapidly moving landslides.

Knott, Fostveit avenge defeats to lead Taft wrestlers at Nestucca

Taft High senior Cody Knott avenged a week-old defeat in the 160-pound weight class to earn recognition as outstanding wrestler Saturday in the Bill Hagerty Invitational at Nestucca.

Taft High champions Jace Fostveit, left, and Cody Knott

The Tigers placed fourth in the 14-team event one day after finishing second in a dual meet against several teams at Yamhill-Carlton.

“We wrestled really well this weekend,” Taft coach Robb Ellis said. “Cody elevated his status in the Oregon wrestling community by dominating a Vernonia wrestler who placed third in State for 2A last year, and on Saturday by winning a rematch from last week with a strong State-level wrestler from Scio. It has most likely been quite a few years since we have had a Taft wrestler win outstanding wrestler of a tournament.”

Taft’s Jace Fostveit also gained a measure of revenge by winning the title at 195 by pinning an opponent he lost to last week at Scio.

“Jace really stepped up,” Ellis said. “He defeated a very physically strong Scio wrestler in the semifinals to go on and win a rematch from last week against a talented Nestucca wrestler.”

In addition to the retribution exercised by Knott and Fostveit, Jose Flores placed third at 113 pounds; Kaden White third at 120; William Calderon fourth at 138; Jacob Mayoral fourth at 152; Jace Phippen fourth at 220; David Jin fifth at 170; Riley Ellis sixth at 138; and Jeff Adair sixth at 195.

“We had quite a few younger wrestlers do well,” Ellis said. “Notably, Jace Phippen, a junior who is a first-year wrestler at 220 pounds, got fourth, barely losing the third-place match 2-1 to an experienced and physically strong 4A level wrestler from Seaside. He had a very competitive bracket as well.”

Ellis said Phippen finished behind a 2A wrestler who was fourth at State last season and Newport’s Jimmy Acevedo, who nearly placed in 4A State competition last year.

“Jace is in the mix with about 10 other wrestlers on the team who have a shot to qualify for the State tournament if they keep working hard,” he said.

William Calderon, a sophomore and talented soccer player for Taft, placed fourth in the 138-pound class, Ellis said.

“For being a first-year wrestler, he shows natural talent that can’t be coached,” he said.

Ellis also commended the efforts of White, a freshman who wrestled for Taft’s youth mat club.

“He goes 100 percent all the time and is reaping the benefits of having a strong partner, Jose Flores, who went to State last year,” he said. “Having a good partner in practice may be the most important factor in becoming a better wrestler.”

Taft lost a close dual match to host Yamhill-Carlton on Friday, but defeated Stayton, Vernonia, Seaside and Colton in the process.

Knott defeated a Vernonia wrestler who finished third at State last year, while Devon Lindquist, who claimed the 145-pound title at Tillamook, Phippen and Mayoral also scored big victories for the Tigers.

Taft returns to the mat Friday, Dec. 21, for the Gladstone Invitational featuring Astoria, Molalla, Newport, Philomath/Alsea and Scappoose, among other teams, at Gladstone High School.

“We have to continue to up the intensity in the room because conditioning matters a lot,” Ellis said. “Even if you are a technically gifted wrestler, if you get gassed quickly in matches, you can lose to wrestlers with less experience who are in better shape.”

The second-year Taft coach said the Tigers will continue to work daily to attain their goal of sending a school-record six wrestlers to State and placing fourth or better in a difficult district that includes defending State champion Willamina.

“We just keep drilling the basics of wrestling, staying in good position, head up in all positions on the mat, setting up shots and circling and snapping, being the aggressor while not getting in bad position,” he said.

Taft High swimmers get feet wet in relay meet at Philomath

The Taft High boys 200- and 400-yard breaststroke teams led the way with victories Thursday at the Rhonda Relays, a non-scoring swim meet in Philomath.

“It was a great experience for everyone,” Taft and Lincoln City Swim Club coach Lissa Parker said. “Several of the novices were able to try other strokes, and some of the breaststroke relays did really well.”

Twenty-five of Taft’s 28 team members competed, with Hunter Lunstedt still attending to shoulder issues.

“It was a quick meet — hard to get very much rest,” Parker said. “We raced Newport and Sweet Home, which are very fast teams, while Stayton and Philomath also have some fast kids, so there’s a lot of learning and motivation to keep us training hard and rise up to challenge them down the road.”

Parker cited “up-and-coming” beginners Ayden Woodard and Isabell Mackie, sprinters Jonee Wright and Tanner Landry, freshman Aubrey Sciarrotta, and upperclassmen Lydia Prins and Sammy Halferty for their progress.

Taft returns to the pool Friday, Dec. 21, at the Newport Invite.

Bomb threats emailed around the world

Bomb Threats

According to Homeland Security, a worldwide email campaign is targeting businesses and organizations with bomb threats that claim a device will detonate unless a ransom in Bitcoin is paid.

“This is more or less a hoax,” said a spokesperson with the FBI field office in Portland.

The threats have been reported across the world.

Facebook, universities and newspapers have received the email and authorities have swept for explosives but found nothing in every case.

The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is aware of the worldwide emails and actively pursuing all leads to determine the actors responsible.

Bomb Threat

If you receive a bomb threat email, NCCIC recommends the following actions:

High surf, wind and flooding advisory for Lincoln City

high winds lincoln city

The National Weather Service in Portland has updated its high surf advisory and issued high wind and flooding warnings for Lincoln City.

High Surf

Breakers 25-30 feet are expected at all beaches Friday and Sunday through Tuesday.

Hazardous surf will cause waves to run up much higher on the beaches than normal. These powerful waves can sweep people off jetties, exposed rocks and they can easily move large logs and other beach debris.

Bar crossings and the surf zone will be dangerous due to strong currents and breaking waves.

Video from Thursday at Nelscott Beach

High Winds

A high wind warning is in effect from 4 a.m. – 4 p.m. Friday near headlands and beaches with winds expected to reach 30-40 mph and gusts up to 65 mph. Late Friday morning through early Friday afternoon will have the strongest winds.

Damaging winds may blow down trees and power lines. Power outages are possible. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles.

Areas affected: North Oregon Coast-Central Oregon Coast-South Washington Coast-Including the cities of Cannon Beach, Netarts, Pacific City, Lincoln City, Newport, Cape Foulweather, Yachats, Florence, Long Beach, Ocean Park, and Cape Disappointment

Flooding

Flooding is possible Tuesday and Wednesday of next week in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington

A weather system early next week is expected to bring heavy rain to the Pacific Northwest. While the details are uncertain, there is potential for 2 to 5 inches of rain in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington Monday night and Tuesday, with heaviest amounts in the Willapa Hills, the North Oregon Coast Range, and the west slopes of the Cascades. Sharp rises are likely on rivers draining these areas, and minor flooding is possible Tuesday and Wednesday.

The timing and location of heavy rain for this storm remains uncertain. If conditions warrant, watches or warnings for specific areas or rivers will be issued.

Monitor weather and river forecasts closely at weather.gov/portland. If you live in or near a flood-prone location, this is a good time to review your preparations and action plans should flooding develop next week.

Winter officially begins in another week or so, but the time to start driving with extra caution is now. Our partners at the Oregon Department of Transportation have some excellent tips regarding use of your GPS during our rough and unpredictable weather and we thought it would be good to share them here as well:

When roads are closed and your GPS navigation system directs you onto a detour route, keep in mind that the device you count on for guidance could instead guide you into trouble. Most navigation tools don’t take current road or weather conditions into consideration. They may direct you onto remote roads that are neither maintained nor passible in all weather conditions.

Already this season someone had to be rescued after following their GPS navigation device off the main highway and onto a snow- covered forest service road near Mount Hood. Fortunately, they received help and everyone was safe. This has not always been the case.

Navigation systems and similar smartphone apps are great tools, but travelers may need to verify the identified detour route is appropriate given current conditions and the vehicle they are driving. Here are a few tips to consider:

What you can do:
• Be aware that the app on your phone or in your GPS device might not have the latest information – don’t follow it blindly!
• Use TripCheck.com (available on your computer and on your phone) to get the latest on state road conditions, or call 511.
• Remember, in winter conditions (or in summer’s fire season), roads can be impassable, so USE COMMON SENSE.
• If you are not familiar with an area and current road conditions, stay on state roads and don’t attempt detours onto roads you don’t know.
• Alter your travel plans.  If you are not sure of the route and road conditions your GPS device directs you to, ask local folks for information and consult a map. It is better to stay the night in town rather than be stuck on a remote road in the middle of nowhere.

What ODOT will do:
• ODOT crews work continually to keep state highways safe, but during certain conditions, such as blowing snow and freezing temperatures, you may want to avoid travel altogether.
• ODOT will issue media flash alerts if roads are closed. These will be updated continually on TripCheck.com.

Secretary of State updates cancer condition with video

Secretary of State Dennis Richardson recorded a video to update Oregonians to the status of his cancer treatment.

“I’m so proud to lead a gifted team of public servants as we continue to improve transparency, accountability and integrity in Oregon government.”

“As many of you are aware, I announced in June that I was diagnosed with a small, cancerous brain tumor. The support I have received since has been so encouraging to my wife Cathy and me,”  Richardson said.

“The latest MRI shows that the tumor has not grown,” he said.

“Thank you so much for all of your ongoing prayers and support during my treatment.”

As if stepping up in rank to meet Tillamook on the road Wednesday night wasn’t a tough enough test for the Taft High girls basketball team, maybe next week’s home opener will be.

The Class 3A Tigers (2-2), who fell 50-34 Wednesday to the 10th-rated -Cheesemakers (6-1) of the 4A Cowapa Conference, will host No. 1-ranked and unbeaten Warrenton at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17, in their debut in the newly formed Coastal Range League.

The Warriors, who have outscored their seven opponents 407-209 (58-30 points per game) this season, are coming off a 61-44 victory Tuesday over Yamhill-Carlton. The Coastal Range League, a combined 20-5 in non-league play this season, has four teams ranked in the top 14 in the state, and two in the top seven. All five teams are .500 or better.

Details sought from the Taft girls loss to Tillamook have not been provided. The Taft girls JV defeated the Cheesemakers, 50-23.

The Taft boys, coming off a 60-53 comeback win at Tillamook on Friday, will host Warrenton (4-2) following the girls game. The Tigers, already relegated primarily to a seven-player rotation, will be without starting junior guard Lucas Hindman, who broke his right hand Wednesday at practice.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Warrenton girls lost 46-17 at home to Salem Academy on Thursday following this post and are now 7-1 and ranked second in the state.

High surf advisory issued for Lincoln City, Oregon Coast

High surf advisory issued for Lincoln City, Oregon Coast

high surf advisory

The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a high surf advisory for the Oregon Coast due to a strong series of storms crossing the northeast Pacific.

Breakers up to 25 feet are possible with all beach areas impacted. Hazardous surf will cause waves to run up much higher on the beaches than normal. These powerful waves can sweep people off jetties and rocks and can also move large logs and other beach debris.

A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach erosion.

The storms will continue through early next week and will send westerly swells towards the Pacific Northwest Coast resulting in periods of high surf activity. High surf is possible Friday, and Sunday through Monday.

Central Oregon Coast-
156 PM PST Wed Dec 12 2018

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM PST THURSDAY...

National Weather Service is uncertain about this forecast and will be updating and refining it as the storms draw closer.
