Hydrologic Outlook issued February 20 at 3:59PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR
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.
This Hydrologic Outlook will be updated as needed due to changing
conditions.

Flood Watch issued February 20 at 3:18PM PST until February 26 at 4:00PM PST by NWS Seattle WA
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...A portion of northwest Washington, including the following
county, Mason.
* WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A series of storm systems will impact the Olympics starting
Friday and lasting through Tuesday with the bulk of the
heaviest rain Saturday and Sunday. 4 to 6 inches are possible
during that period alone with 3 to 8 inches storm total
possible. In addition, snow levels will rise to 6000 feet
resulting in most precipitation falling as snow and adding
snow melt to the rainfall. Moderate flooding is possible on
the Skokomish River.

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 20 at 3:09PM 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 8 inches storm total with snow
levels rising above 6000 feet. With moderate temperatures now and
warmer temperatures to come, this will also result in a some snow
melt at low to mid elevations. These factors will combine to result
in a potential for river flooding. At this time the most likely
flood severity will be minor flooding.There is also a Flood Watch
out for Mason County, including the potential for moderate flooding
on the Skokomish River.
The most likely areas for river flooding will be for rivers flowing
off of the central and southern Washington Cascades, the Olympics,
and in southwest Washington. 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.

THREAT OF RIVER FLOODING SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING FOR MUCH OF WESTERN wASHINGTON

Categories: NOAA Current Watches for Washington and Oregon
Hydrologic Outlook issued February 20 at 2:46PM PST by NWS Portland OR
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 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.
Along the Cascades heavy rainfall is expected. Heavy rain combined
with recent snow will elevate the 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. To view the
latest river forecasts, visit water.noaa.gov/wfo/pqr.

River at Dartford, and South Fork Palouse River at Pullman are
forecasted to rise to near bankfull conditions on Sunday. Minor

Hydrologic Outlook issued February 19 at 4:42PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR
ESFPDT
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.
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.
When: Rain will be ending tonight though more systems will bring
rain Friday night through Monday.
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. The Morrow County Sheriff's
Office reported earlier today that the Upper Hinton Creek near
Heppner is out of its banks in a few places though any flooding is
minor and not a problem at this point. However, further rises on
streams and creeks will be a concern through the weekend into early
next week.
This Hydrologic Outlook will be updated as needed due to changing
conditions.

Winter Weather Advisory issued February 19 at 1:33PM PST until February 20 at 4:00AM PST by NWS Portland OR
...CONTINUED SNOW OVER THE CASCADES...
.Showery conditions remain behind a frontal band that has produced
widespread snow over the Cascades today. Snow will begin to lighten
with areas of rain through the day as the main front shifts
eastward, then transition back to snow overnight.
* WHAT...Snow Above 3500 feet. Additional snow accumulations up to 3
inches.
* WHERE...South Washington Cascades.
* WHEN...Until 4 AM PST Thursday.
* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will
likely become slick and hazardous.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will be showery so accumulation amounts
will vary based on location and elevation. For elevations between
4000 to 5000 feet, rain may be the dominate precipitation type and
thus accumulation will be less. As temperatures cool overnight,
rain will transition back to snow.
