...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT 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...From late tonight 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. Rivers draining the coastal
    mountains and several Willamette Tributaries have the highest
    chance of flooding at 40 to 80%. Chances for flooding along
    the Willamette mainstem remains low at less than 10%. Urban
    flooding is possible and water on roadways will increase the
    risk of hydroplaning. Landslides in areas of steep terrain
    will be possible, as well as debris flows over recently
    burned areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
