Hydrologic Outlook issued February 23 at 3:40AM MST by NWS Boise ID

1 month 1 week ago
ESFBOI Moderate to heavy rain and low elevation snowmelt today and Monday will lead to rises on rivers, creeks, and streams across portions of southeast Oregon and southwest Idaho (particularly the Weiser River Basin). Saturated or frozen soils in some areas will increase runoff. Snow and ice may clog culverts, storm drains, and side ditches causing water to back-up and pond in low lying and poor drainage areas. Additionally, ice jams could develop on any waterways with existing ice cover and cause localized flooding. Rivers in these areas will continue to run high through the week with some rivers potentially reaching bankfull or minor flood stage. Those with interests along rivers, creeks and streams should continue to monitor the forecast as there is uncertainty in how much response the lower elevation rivers, creeks and streams will see. Stay tuned to the forecast for the latest temperature and precipitation trends, along with any warnings or advisories that may be issued.

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 22 at 6:10PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR

1 month 1 week ago
ESFPDT Synopsis: Rain and high mountain snow this weekend and early next week will lead to rising water levels on area streams and rivers. Total rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches are expected in the Cascades and 1 to 3 inches in the eastern Oregon mountains. In addition, temperatures rising to the 40s and lower 50s in the mountains will lead to snow melt adding even more water to area rivers and streams. What: Precipitation and snow melt due to warmer temperatures this weekend into early next week will lead to rises on area creeks, streams and rivers. Many rivers are forecast to reach near or above bankdfull by Sunday, including the Walla Walla River at Touchet, the Klickitat River at Pitt, the John Day River at Service Creek, the Umatilla River at Gibbon, and the Naches River at Cliffdell. Another concern will be rapid rises on smaller streams and creeks due to heavier downpours and snowmelt. This could lead to debris flows on recent burn scars and over steep terrain. When: Rain will continue through Monday with the heaviest rain expected tonight and Sunday. Where: The East Slopes of the Washington and Oregon Cascades, the Simcoe Highlands, the Northern and Southern Blue Mountains, the Blue Mountain Foothills of Washington and Oregon, Wallowa County and the Grande Ronde Valley. This Hydrologic Outlook will be updated as needed due to changing conditions.

Rivers are low enough so that most rivers will remain below bankfull.

These will be more than enough to bury, injure, or kill backcountry travelers. * PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Avoid all areas where avalanches can start, run, or stop. This includes openings in the forest well below large steep alpine slopes. Consult https://www.nwac.us/ or www.avalanche.org for more detailed information. Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of this or any avalanche center.
