Flood Watch issued February 22 at 2:32PM PST until February 26 at 4:00AM PST by NWS Portland OR

* 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.
