ESFPQR

It is shaping up to be a wet week ahead. Of particular concern is the
potential for heavy rain Tuesday night through Friday morning, which
could result in some flooding for area creeks and rivers.

Current projections of the most likely amounts for storm total
precipitation range from 5 to 8 inches for the Coast, Coast Range,
and Cascades, with 2.5 to 4 inches for inland valley locations,
including Portland, Salem, and Eugene. Upper end projections, with
about a 10 percent chance of occurring, range from 6 to 11 inches
for the Coast, Coast Range, and Cascades, with 5 to 7 inches for
inland valleys. Snowmelt in the Cascades from 2000 to 4000 feet
elevation could add runoff, although the main cause for flooding
would be the heavy rain.

Rivers will rise starting Wednesday. Small streams and
fast-responding rivers could see flooding as early as Wednesday
night or Thursday, with slow-responding rivers potentially flooding
by this weekend. Heavy rainfall will also cause water ponding in low
lying areas and other areas of poor drainage.

Monitor weather.gov/portland for the latest updates and any watches,
warnings, or advisories that may be issued for this event.

* WHAT...South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 45 mph expected.

* WHERE...Central and Southern Willamette Valley, Lower Columbia
River and Cowlitz River Valleys, Tualatin Valley, Portland West
Hills and Chehalem Mountain, Inner Portland Metro, North Clark
County Lowlands, and Inner Vancouver Metro.

* WHEN...From 8 PM this evening to 6 AM PST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree
limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Areas in the central Willamette Valley will
see the highest wind speeds.

* WHAT...Urban and small stream flooding caused by excessive
rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Most areas across southwest Washington and northwest
Oregon.

* WHEN...Until 415 PM PST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Ponding of water in urban or other areas is expected overnight
into Wednesday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 410 PM PST, Rain will increase this evening, with rain
becoming heavy at times overnight. This will cause areas of
urban and small stream flooding. Overflowing poor drainage
areas will cause minor flooding in the advisory area. In
addition, leaf-clogged storm drains will create poor
drainage, resulting in flooded roadways and intersections.

- Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 4 inches are expected
tonight into Wednesday, with the 2 to 5 inches along the
coast into the Coast Range and Willapa Hills. Heaviest rain
will end by 8 am Wednesday, but poor drainage issues may
continue through the day.

Eugene, Salem, Hillsboro, Corvallis, Albany, McMinnville,
Oregon City, Battle Ground, Dallas, Washougal, St. Helens,

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has continued
an Air Quality Advisory, which is IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM PDT FRIDAY.

An Air Quality Advisory for ozone remains in effect. High levels of
ozone in the lower atmosphere in the region combined with forecasted
conditions will cause air quality to reach unhealthy levels at times
through 8 PM PDT Friday.

Pollutants can cause burning eyes, runny nose, aggravate heart and
lung diseases, and aggravate other serious health problems. Limit
outdoor activities and keep children indoors if it is smoky. Please
follow medical advice if you have a heart or lung condition.
