* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of northwest Oregon and southwest Washington, including the following counties, in Oregon, Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Cowlitz, Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill. In Washington, Clark, Pacific, Skamania, and Wahkiakum Lowlands. * WHEN...From late tonight through late Tuesday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations, especially for rivers draining the Willapa Hills and Oregon Coast Range. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Landslides are possible through this period, especially over the Cascades due to heavy rainfall above 7,000 feet combined with snowmelt. There is low probability for debris flows as rainfall rates are not expected to meet thresholds over recently burned areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An atmospheric river and series of frontal systems will produce periods of heavy rainfall over northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington through Monday. The heaviest rain will be over the coast, Coast Range, Willapa Hills, and Cascades where rain totals from Saturday through Monday night will range from 3 to 6 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. Snow levels will rise to above 7,000 feet on Sunday, and snow melt due to rain falling on the Cascade snow pack could cause additional flooding concerns for drainages from the Cascades along with enhanced risk of landslides. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood Flood Watch 2025-02-22T14:32:00-08:00 2025-02-22T14:32:00-08:00 2025-02-23T04:00:00-08:00 2025-02-23T07:15:00-08:00 Actual Update Met Future Severe Possible Clatsop County Coast; Tillamook County Coast; Central Coast of Oregon; North Oregon Coast Range Lowlands; Central Oregon Coast Range Lowlands; North Oregon Coast Range; Central Oregon Coast Range; Lower Columbia River; Tualatin Valley; West Hills and Chehalem Mountains; Inner Portland Metro; East Portland Metro; Outer Southeast Portland Metro; West Central Willamette Valley; East Central Willamette Valley; Benton County Lowlands; Linn County Lowlands; Lane County Lowlands; West Columbia River Gorge of Oregon above 500 ft; West Columbia River Gorge I-84 Corridor; Upper Hood River Valley; Central Columbia River Gorge I-84 Corridor; Clackamas County Cascade Foothills; Cascade Foothills of Marion and Linn Counties; Lane County Cascade Foothills; North Oregon Cascades; Cascades of Marion and Linn Counties; Cascades of Lane County; South Washington Coast; Willapa and Wahkiakum Lowlands; Willapa Hills; Cowlitz County Lowlands; North Clark County Lowlands; Inner Vancouver Metro; East Clark County Lowlands; South Washington Cascade Foothills; West Columbia River Gorge - SR 14; Central Columbia River Gorge - SR 14; South Washington Cascades SAME 041007 SAME 041057 SAME 041041 SAME 041039 SAME 041067 SAME 041071 SAME 041003 SAME 041053 SAME 041009 SAME 041051 SAME 041005 SAME 041047 SAME 041043 SAME 041027 SAME 053049 SAME 053069 SAME 053015 SAME 053011 SAME 053059 UGC ORZ101 UGC ORZ102 UGC ORZ103 UGC ORZ104 UGC ORZ105 UGC ORZ106 UGC ORZ107 UGC ORZ108 UGC ORZ109 UGC ORZ110 UGC ORZ111 UGC ORZ112 UGC ORZ113 UGC ORZ114 UGC ORZ115 UGC ORZ116 UGC ORZ117 UGC ORZ118 UGC ORZ119 UGC ORZ120 UGC ORZ121 UGC ORZ122 UGC ORZ123 UGC ORZ124 UGC ORZ125 UGC ORZ126 UGC ORZ127 UGC ORZ128 UGC WAZ201 UGC WAZ202 UGC WAZ203 UGC WAZ204 UGC WAZ205 UGC WAZ206 UGC WAZ207 UGC WAZ208 UGC WAZ209 UGC WAZ210 UGC WAZ211 AWIPSidentifier FFAPQR WMOidentifier WGUS66 KPQR 222232 NWSheadline FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT BLOCKCHANNEL EAS BLOCKCHANNEL NWEM BLOCKCHANNEL CMAS EAS-ORG WXR VTEC /O.CON.KPQR.FA.A.0001.250223T1200Z-250226T1200Z/ eventEndingTime 2025-02-26T12:00:00+00:00

ESFBOI Moderate to heavy rain and low elevation snowmelt Sunday 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 and ditches causing water to back-up and pond in low lying and poor drainage areas. Additionally, ice jams could develop on any rivers, creeks, or streams with existing ice cover and cause localized flooding. Rivers in these areas will continue to run high through next week with some waterways potentially reaching bankfull. Stay tuned to the forecast for the latest temperature and precipitation trends, along with any warnings or advisories that may be issued.

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.

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.

ESFPQR An series of frontal systems will bring heavy rainfall to northwest Oregon and southwest Washington this weekend. Rain will begin Saturday afternoon, and intensify overnight through Sunday. This will lead to rises on rivers and creeks, especially along the coast on February 22nd through the 23rd. Main stem rivers may be delayed to respond, and flooding may occur beyond this time frame. There is around a 20-25% chance of the Wilson River, the Grays River, and other localized quick responding coastal rivers of reaching minor flood stage on Sunday. Confidence in flooding is low as the location of heaviest precipitation will greatly depend on where the warm front sets up. In the case that this system over performs, more widespread flooding is possible. Heavy rainfall along the Cascades is expected and combined with recent snow accumulation, there is elevated landslide risk. Heavy rainfall may also lead to ponding of water, general lowland flooding, 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 and debris flows 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.

ESFPDT What: The precipitation and snow melt will lead to rises on area creeks, streams and rivers. Rivers are low enough that only the Naches River at Cliffdell is expected to exceed bankfull early Monday for a few hours and only by a few inches. However, with the heavier periods of rain and snow melt, rapid rises will be possible on smaller streams and creeks as well. Further rises on streams and creeks will be a concern through the weekend into early next week. When: Rain will be ending tonight though more systems will bring rain Friday night through Monday. 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. Synopsis: Rain and high mountain snow in the last 24 hours 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 4 inches are expected in the Cascades and 1 to 2 inches in the eastern Oregon mountains. In addition, temperatures will be rising to the 40s and even lower 50s in the mountains which will lead to snow melt adding even more water to rivers and streams. At this point, the Naches River at Cliffdell is expected to barely reach action stage for several hours early Monday before receding. Other rivers in the Cascades and eastern Oregon mountains are forecast to approach but stay below action stage. Rises will also be possible on smaller streams and creeks.
