Synopsis: An atmospheric river will bring abundant moisture to the
region with an incoming system beginning this afternoon and
continuing through Monday. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are
expected along the Oregon and Washington Cascade crest and in the
higher mountains of northeast Oregon and southeast Washington. These
amounts may be increased locally by snow melt from what remains of
the high mountain snowpack.
Where: The East Slopes of the Washington and Oregon Cascades, The
Northern and Southern Blue Mountains, The Blue Mountain Foothills of
Washington and Oregon, Wallowa County and the Grande Ronde Valley.
When: Rain will arrive along the Cascades Sunday afternoon and in
the eastern mountains late Sunday afternoon and evening. Rain will
taper off Monday afternoon and evening.
What: The precipitation and possible snow melt will lead to rises on
area creeks, streams and rivers. Rivers are low enough that only the
Naches River at Cliffdell and the Naches River at Naches are
expected to reach bankfull Monday and only by a few inches at those
locations. However, with the heavier periods of rain, rapid rises
will be possible on smaller streams and creeks, especially in
Wallowa County, and this is the main concern for the next couple of
days.
No further updates to this Hydrologic Outlook are anticipated.

An unseasonably strong and moist low pressure system will spread
moderate to locally heavy rain across southwest Washington and
northwest Oregon this morning, continuing through tonight and
possibly early Monday morning.
Rainfall rates are the primary concern with this event. Several
hours with rainfall rates of one quarter to one half inch per hour
are expected for the Coast Range, Cascades, and locally along the
coast later today through this evening. Rainfall rates of this
magnitude, especially when sustained for several hours, can cause
flooding of creeks and small streams. Areas of poor drainage will
also lead to standing water on some area roads. Flooding is not
anticipated on mainstem rivers, but significant rises are likely.
Rain is expected to taper to showers Monday morning, dramatically
decreasing the rainfall rates and any related impacts throughout the
day Monday.
Monitor weather.gov/portland for the latest updates and any watches,
warnings, or advisories that may be issued for this event.

localized flooding in urban areas.

Synopsis: An atmospheric river in the Pacific is bringing abundant
moisture to the region. Storm total rainfall amounts in the Outlook
area range from 1" in valleys to 2" on ridges. Rainfall amounts
underestimate flood potential as snowpack melt will add snow-water
equivalent contributions of around 2".
Where: Elkhorn and Wallowa Mountains in Oregon. Adams, Washington,
northern Gem, Valley, Boise, and northern Elmore counties in Idaho.
When: Rainfall beginning Sunday evening and ending Monday evening.
Rain will expand from NW to SE in the first few hours.
What: Moderate rainfall leading to rises in creeks, streams, rivers,
and lakes. Rainfall could be locally heavy Monday morning and Monday
afternoon/evening as terrain driven storms become more likely
leading to potential for minor flooding. Potential for mud or
rockslides.
The next update will be provided Sunday afternoon.

What: Moderate to heavy rainfall will lead to rises on area creeks,
streams, rivers, and lakes. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches at the
crest of the Cascades and mountains of northeast Washington and the
Idaho Panhandle is currently forecast.
An Areal Flood Watch has been issued for Lewis and Shoshone Counties

over the Clearwater Mountains may cause creeks and streams in
eastern Lewis County and southern Shoshone County to rise out of

and moving into eastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle Sunday
afternoon. Heaviest rainfall will occur between Sunday evening and
