Hydrologic Outlook issued February 22 at 2:57AM PST by NWS Portland OR

NOAA Current Watches-WA - February 22, 2025 - 2:57am
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.

Avalanche Warning issued February 21 at 6:35PM PST by NWS Seattle WA

NOAA Current Watches-WA - February 21, 2025 - 6:35pm
AVWSEW The following message is transmitted at the request of the Northwest Avalanche Center. ...The Northwest Avalanche Center in Seattle has issued an Avalanche Warning... * WHAT...Very dangerous conditions are expected to develop throughout the day as heavy wet snow and rain overload a dry and weak snowpack. Very large natural avalanches will occur and may descend into lower elevation forested areas. High avalanche danger is likely to spread into other regions Saturday night into Sunday. * WHERE...The Olympic Mountains and the west slopes of the Cascades from the Canadian border to King County, including the Mt Baker area, Hwy 542, Hwy 20 West, and the Mountain Loop Hwy. * WHEN...In effect from Fri 18:00 PST to Sat 18:00 PST. Very dangerous avalanche conditions are expected to continue and spread throughout the Cascades. * IMPACTS...Very large natural avalanches are expected. These will be more than enough to bury, injure, or kill backcountry travelers. * PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...Avoid all areas where avalanches can start, run, or stop. This includes openings in the forest well below large steep alpine slopes. Consult https://www.nwac.us/ or www.avalanche.org for more detailed information. Similar avalanche danger may exist at locations outside the coverage area of this or any avalanche center.

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 21 at 3:24PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR

NOAA Current Watches-WA - February 21, 2025 - 3:24pm
ESFPDT Synopsis: Rain and high mountain snow from and multiple systems this weekend and early next week will lead to rising water levels on area streams and rivers. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches are expected in the Cascades and 1 to 3 inches in the eastern Oregon mountains. In addition, temperatures will be rising to the 40s and lower 50s in the mountains which will lead to snow melt adding even more water to area rivers and streams. The National Water Model is highlighting high water on numerous smaller streams and creeks, but streamflow amounts are generally only slightly higher than high water thresholds. What: Precipitation fed by an atmospheric river and snow melt due to warmer temperatures this weekend into early next week will lead to rises on area creeks, streams and rivers. Rivers are low enough so that most rivers will remain below bankfull. However, the Walla Walla River at Touchet and the Naches River at Cliffdell are expected to exceed bankfull late Sunday night before receding Monday and Tuesday. Another concern will be rapid rises on smaller streams and creeks due to heavier downpours and snowmelt. This could lead to debris flows on recent burn scars and over steep terrain. The Walla Walla River at Touchet has a 44 percent chance of exceeding bankfull but less than a 5 percent chance of reaching minor flood stage. It is expected to reach bankfull late Sunday evening and remain there through Tuesday morning. The Naches River at Cliffdell has a 29 percent chance of exceeding bankfull but less than a 5 percent chance of reaching minor flood stage. It is expected to reach bankfull late Sunday evening and remain there until dropping below bankfull Monday afternoon. The Klickitat River at Pitt is forecast remain below bankfull, but model probabilities give it a 13 percent chance of rising above bankfull and a 9 percent chance of reaching minor flood stage. All other river forecast points have a less than a 10 percent chance of exceeding bankfull. When: Rain will begin tonight and continue through Monday with the heaviest rain expected Saturday night and Sunday. Where: The Upper and Lower East Slopes of the Washington and Oregon Cascades, The Simcoe Highlands, The Northern and Southern Blue Mountains, The Blue Mountain Foothills of Washington and Oregon, Wallowa County and the Grande Ronde Valley.

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 21 at 11:55AM PST by NWS Seattle WA

NOAA Current Watches-WA - February 21, 2025 - 11:55am
ESFSEW A series of storms will begin to impact western Washington on Friday and continue through Tuesday. The next storm on Saturday will have heavy rain at times as will a third storm right on its heels Sunday. Precipitation amounts could be 3 to 5 inches storm total with locally heavier amounts, and snow levels rising above 7000 feet. With moderate temperatures now and warmer temperatures to come, this will also result in some snow melt at low to mid elevations. These factors will combine to result in a potential for river flooding. 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.
