Hydrologic Outlook issued February 22 at 2:57AM PST by NWS Portland OR
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. To view the
latest river forecasts, visit water.noaa.gov/wfo/pqr.

For the Paradise Creek ...including Moscow...flooding is possible.
* WHAT...Flooding is possible.
* WHERE...Paradise Creek at Moscow.
* WHEN...From late Saturday night to Tuesday morning.
* IMPACTS...At 9.2 feet, Water will be out of the creek at the
intersection of Bridge Street and Hillcrest Drive and may also be
flowing into the intersection at this stage. Flooding near Damen
Street.
At 10.0 feet, Water will be up to the homes near the intersection
of Bridge and Hillcrest. Intersection at 5th and Roosevelt will be
flooded. Storm drains along Main Street will be backed up and
overflowing. Mountainview Park will be flooded. Bike path along
the creek near the University will be under 6 inches of water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Avalanche Warning issued February 21 at 6:35PM PST by NWS Seattle WA
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
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.
This Hydrologic Outlook will be updated as needed due to changing
conditions.

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