NOAA Current Watches-WA

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. Rivers are low enough so that most rivers will remain below bankfull. However, the Walla Walla River at Touchet, the Klickitat River at Pitt, and the Naches River at Cliffdell are expected to approach 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. 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.

ESFSEW An atmospheric river this weekend, followed by another frontal system later Monday will result in heavy rain at times over the area. Total precipitation amounts in the mountains will range from 3 to 5 inches, with locally heavier amounts possible in the mountain. Snow levels will rise above 7000 feet, will result in snow melt at low to mid elevations. 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.

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.
