...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...River and urban flooding caused by excessive rainfall is
  possible. Landslides possible in areas of steep terrain, and
  debris flows possible over recently burned areas.

* WHERE...Counties in Oregon: Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia,
  Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk,
  Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill. Counties in Washington: Clark,
  Cowlitz, Pacific, Skamania, and Wahkiakum.

* WHEN...Through late Thursday night.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Landslides and debris flows are possible during this flood event.
  People, structures, and roads located below steep slopes, in
  canyons, and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk
  from rapidly moving landslides.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A prolonged atmospheric river is expected to bring periods of
    heavy rain to northwest Oregon and southwest Washington
    Monday through Wednesday, with periods of lighter rain
    continuing Thursday into Friday. This weather system will
    result in an increased risk for flooding. Additional forecast
    rain amounts from 4 PM Monday through 4 AM Thursday range
    from 2.5 to 5 inches in the Cowlitz Valley, Lower Columbia,
    Portland/Vancouver metro and northern Willamette Valley, 1.5
    to 2.5 inches in the central Willamette Valley, and 0.75-1.5
    inches in the southern Willamette Valley. Forecast rain
    amounts reach 6 to 12 inches in the Cascades, Cascade
    foothills, Coast Range and the coast, except 1.5-3.5 inches
    from Florence to Newport and in areas of higher terrain in
    Lane County. Rivers draining the coastal mountains and
    several Willamette Tributaries have a 50 to 70% chance of
    reaching minor flood stage or higher. The Pudding River at
    Aurora and Johnson Creek at Sycamore have an 80% chance of
    reaching minor flood stage or higher. Chances for flooding
    along the Willamette mainstem remains low at 5-15%. Urban
    flooding is possible and water on roadways will increase the
    risk of hydroplaning and car accidents. Landslides in areas
    of steep terrain will be possible due to saturated soils, as
    well as debris flows over recently burned areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
