The heaviest rain will be over the coast, Coast Range, Willapa Hills, and Cascades where 3 to 6 inches of rain has been observed from Friday night through Sunday afternoon and an additional 1 to 3 inches of rainfall is expected from Sunday night through Monday night. Snow levels have risen to above 7,000 feet on Sunday, and snow melt due to rain falling on the Cascade snow pack could cause additional flooding concerns for drainages from the Cascades along with enhanced risk of landslides. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
