ESFSEW Additional frontal systems will bring precipitation to Western Washington at times through the weekend. While precipitation will be much less with the systems today and into this weekend, the lack of much of a break will keep rivers over the Southwest Interior rising into the weekend. The Chehalis River appears to be cresting this afternoon well below flood stage through Thurston and Lewis Counties, but will continue to monitor the Chehalis at Porter in Grays Harbor County as it is still forecast just shy of flood stage this weekend. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.

ESFPQR A series of storm systems will continue to bring a wet weather pattern across northwest Oregon through the weekend. This will lead to rises on rivers and creeks through at least December 30th. The Luckiamute River has the highest chance of hitting minor flood stage at 95%. There is a 40-45% chance that the Pudding River will reach minor flood stage, and a 20-25% chance that the Wilson River, Siuslaw River, and Marys Riverwill reach minor flood stage. Heavy rainfall may also lead to ponding of water, general lowland flooding and localized urban flooding, especially in low lying areas or other areas with poor drainage. Heavy rainfall will also increase the potential for landslides in areas of steep terrain and debris flows over areas that have been burned by wildfires over the past few years. There is still some uncertainty regarding the exact track of the Sunday system. There is currently a 10% chance the southern Willamette Valley will receive 2-3" of rain and the adjacent higher terrain of the Coast Range and Cascades will receive 3-5" of rain Saturday evening through Sunday morning. This represents the worst case scenario, which would result in more widespread flooding issues. That said, the most likely scenario is 1-2" of rain in the southern Willamette Valley and 2-3" in the adjacent higher terrain of the Coast Range and Cascades. This would result in minor and less widespread flooding. Shifts in the forecast storm track can change the current outlook, 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.
