...FLOODING POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND IN NORTHWEST OREGON AND
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON...
Heavy rain at times is expected this weekend, and some rivers
could rise above flood stage. Rivers are already running high
from the rain this week, and soils are fully saturated. Rainfall
amounts Friday night through Sunday could be as high as 4 inches
in the Coast Range and Cascades and 2 inches for inland valleys.
The timing and location of heavy rain this weekend remains
uncertain. If conditions warrant, watches or warnings for
specific areas or rivers will be issued.
Monitor weather and river forecasts closely through the
week at weather.gov/portland or mobile.weather.gov. If you live in
or near a flood-prone location, this is a good time to review
your action plans should flooding develop.
