'Storm' was not very wet for Rogue Valley, but did dampen fire threat MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 29, 2015 @ 9:47 am Posted Aug. 29, 2015 @ 9:47 am » Social News p bs:newslist StartDate="20121121" EndDate="p bs:datecalc Months="3"" DateSort="1" UseObjects="1" ObjectClass="81" Taxonomywords="2325,665" ExactTaxonomyMatch="1" Image="1" Count="4" --> Local report A cool and wet front that pushed into Southern Oregon overnight delivered enough sprinkles to slightly dampen fire danger, but nothing to make any significant dent in the region's dry conditions. According to the National Weather Service, Medford received only .03 inches of rain this morning, as showers fell between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. The forecast for today calls for partly sunny weather, with winds of 10 to 17 mph and gusts of up to 25 mph. There is a 30 percent chance of rain Sunday morning. High temperatures are expected to be 79 today and 75 on Sunday. The rain and breeze did clear out smoke from area forest fires. Medford's air quality was rated as good this morning, with very low levels of small particulates in the air. No new information was available this morning on the Stouts Creek fire in southern Douglas County, which has been responsible for much of the smoke in the Rogue Valley. It remains listed at about 24,500 acres in size and 86 percent contained. The National Creek fire complex in the northwest corner of Crater Lake National Park is listed at 13,200 acres and is 40 percent contained. The storm front did drop nearly an inch of rain in the Brookings coastal area, which should help firefighters in their battle against the Collier Creek fire, burning about 20 miles inland from the Southern Oregon coast. The most recent update has it listed at 11,100 acres and 55 percent contained.
