A storm system will bring in heavy rainfall at times over the
Olympic Mountains Wednesday and Thursday. Total precipitation
amounts will range from 1 to 3 inches, though rainfall amounts will
be highly dependent on the convective nature of this storm system
and where heavier showers set up. Snow levels will stay above 8000
feet on Wednesday before falling to 3500 feet on Thursday,
increasing the potential for river flooding. River flooding remains
possible and we will continue to monitor the potential for river
flooding during this period.

Temperatures in the 60s and 70s through Wednesday will increase snow
melt of the mid and high elevation snow pack. This will be followed
by mountain rain Wednesday night through Friday. Saturated mountain
soils will allow for efficient runoff and will increase water levels
on mountain rivers, creeks and streams.
The primary concern is the John Day River at Service Creek which is
forecast to reach minor flood stage Thursday morning through Friday
afternoon, peaking early Friday morning. The Grande Ronde River at
Troy and the Naches River at Cliffdell and Naches are expected to
reach action stage Wednesday afternoon through at least Friday
morning but have a low probability of reaching minor flood stage.
Several other rivers are forecast to approach but not quite reach
action stage. Smaller creeks and streams may also have significant
rises but at this time they do not appear to reach levels that would
cause flooding.
People with activities near creeks and streams should exercise
caution as flows will be swift and very cold water can quickly lead
to hypothermia if someone were to fall into the water.
Those with interests along rivers, creeks and streams should
continue to monitor forecasts as there is some uncertainty in the
expected water levels. Stay tuned to for the latest forecast updates
along with any flood warnings or advisories that may be issued.
