Hydrologic Outlook issued February 23 at 3:40AM MST by NWS Boise ID
ESFBOI
Moderate to heavy rain and low elevation snowmelt today 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, storm drains, and
side ditches causing water to back-up and pond in low lying and
poor drainage areas. Additionally, ice jams could develop on any
waterways with existing ice cover and cause localized flooding.
Rivers in these areas will continue to run high through the week
with some rivers potentially reaching bankfull or minor flood
stage.
Those with interests along rivers, creeks and streams should
continue to monitor the forecast as there is uncertainty in how
much response the lower elevation rivers, creeks and streams will
see. Stay tuned to the forecast for the latest temperature and
precipitation trends, along with any warnings or advisories that
may be issued.

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 22 at 6:10PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR
ESFPDT
Synopsis: Rain and high mountain snow this weekend and early next
week will lead to rising water levels on area streams and rivers.
Total 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 rising to the 40s and lower 50s in the mountains will
lead to snow melt adding even more water to area rivers and streams.
What: Precipitation and snow melt due to warmer temperatures this
weekend into early next week will lead to rises on area creeks,
streams and rivers. Many rivers are forecast to reach near or above
bankdfull by Sunday, including the Walla Walla River at Touchet, the
Klickitat River at Pitt, the John Day River at Service Creek, the
Umatilla River at Gibbon, and the Naches River at Cliffdell. 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.
When: Rain will continue through Monday with the heaviest rain
expected tonight and Sunday.
Where: The 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.

Avalanche Warning issued February 22 at 5:07PM PST by NWS Portland OR
AVWPQR
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 overnight and
continue into Sunday as heavy wet snow and rain overload a dry and
weak snowpack. Very large natural avalanches may occur and could
descend into lower elevation forested areas.
* WHERE...Areas near Mt Hood, Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, and the
west slopes of the Cascades from I-90 to the Columbia River,
including Crystal Mountain, Mt Rainier, White Pass, Mt Saint
Helens, and Mt Adams. As well as the East slopes of the Cascades
from the Canadian border to Lake Chelan, including Washington
Pass, Methow Valley, and Twisp areas.
* WHEN...In effect from Sat 18:00 PST to Sun 18:00 PST.
* 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.
