Inundated roads include the Skokomish Valley road, Bourgault Road West, Purdy Cutoff Road, and Highway 106. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 12:30 PM PST Saturday the stage was 15.3 feet. - Flood stage is 16.5 feet. - Forecast...The river is expected to rise above flood stage just after midnight tonight and continue rising to a crest of 17.8 feet tomorrow afternoon. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

ESFSEW An atmospheric river this weekend, followed by another frontal system later Monday will result in heavy rain at times over the area. Total precipitation amounts in the mountains will range from 3 to 5 inches, with locally heavier amounts possible in the mountain. Snow levels will rise above 7000 feet, will result in snow melt at low to mid elevations. The most likely areas for river flooding will be for rivers flowing off of the Cascades and Olympics. Urban and small stream nuisance flooding and rainfall-induced shallow landslides will also be possible. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of northwest Oregon and southwest Washington, including the following counties, in Oregon, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Cowlitz, Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill.

Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Landslides are possible through this period, especially over the Cascades due to heavy rainfall above 7,000 feet combined with snowmelt. There is low probability for debris flows as rainfall rates are not expected to meet thresholds over recently burned areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An atmospheric river and series of frontal systems will produce periods of heavy rainfall over northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington through Monday. The heaviest rain will be over the coast, Coast Range, Willapa Hills, and Cascades where rain totals from Saturday through Monday night will range from 3 to 6 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. Snow levels will rise 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

ESFBOI Moderate to heavy rain and low elevation snowmelt Sunday 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 and ditches causing water to back-up and pond in low lying and poor drainage areas. Additionally, ice jams could develop on any rivers, creeks, or streams with existing ice cover and cause localized flooding. Rivers in these areas will continue to run high through next week with some waterways potentially reaching bankfull. Stay tuned to the forecast for the latest temperature and precipitation trends, along with any warnings or advisories that may be issued.

Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Landslide risk will also increase through this period. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An atmospheric river will produce periods of heavy rain over western Washington through Tuesday. The heaviest of the rain will be concentrated over the Olympics and Cascades, where rain totals through this period will range from 3 to 5 inches, with locally higher amounts possible.

ESFPQR An series of frontal systems will bring heavy rainfall to northwest Oregon and southwest Washington through Monday. Heavier rain will begin with the arrival of a front this afternoon, and intensify tonight into Sunday. After a brief lull in precipitation late Sunday, another strong system will bring additional moderate to heavy rainfall on Monday. This will lead to rises on rivers and creeks, especially for rivers draining the Willapa Hills and Oregon Coast Range through Monday. Main stem rivers may be delayed to respond, and flooding may occur beyond this time frame. There is around a 20-30% chance of the Wilson River, the Grays River, and other localized quick responding coastal rivers of reaching minor flood stage by late Sunday or early Monday. More widespread river flooding is not expected, but increases in forecast precipitation amounts could lead to additional rises on area rivers if heavier rainfall stalls over the area for a longer period of time. Heavy rainfall along the Cascades combined with snowmelt will lead to an enhanced risk of landslides. Heavy rainfall may also lead to ponding of water and localized urban flooding, especially in low-lying areas or other poor-drainage areas. Heavy rainfall will also increase the potential for landslides in areas of steep terrain. The probability of debris flows is currently low as rainfall rates are not expected to meet thresholds over areas that have been burned by wildfires over the past few years. Shifts in the forecast storm track can change the outlook and probabilities for river flooding, so be sure to monitor weather.gov/portland for the latest weather updates, as well as any watches, warnings, or advisories that may be issued.
