...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM PST THURSDAY...

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

* WHERE...Much of southwest Washington and northwest Oregon,
  excluding the high Cascades, mid-Columbia Gorge and Hood River
  Valley.

* WHEN...Until 100 AM PST Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
  Ponding of water is expected later tonight and Wednesday.  Areas
  most likely to see such flooding will be the coast, coast
  mountains, and throughout the I-5 corridor.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 246 PM PST, Rain, heavy at times, will spread across
    southwest Washington and far northwest Oregon later tonight.
    Rain will gradually spread to the east and southeast through
    Wednesday morning. Another 3 to 6 inches of rain are expected
    along the coast and coast mountains, with 1 to 3 inches for
    the interior lowlands. Rainfall more variable in the
    Cascades, with 1 to 4 inches expected, heaviest being north
    of Santiam River basin. This will cause urban and small
    stream flooding. With already saturated soils, this new
    rainfall will cause many smaller streams and culverts to run
    full, and cause minor flooding. In addition, areas with poor
    drainage, such as railroad crossings and underpasses, will
    quickly see standing water.
  - Rainfall will gradually ease later Wednesday afternoon.
