.Near-record precipitation is possible this week as two Atmospheric
Rivers will move through the region. The first one arrives today and
continues through Tuesday, followed by a second, stronger one
Tuesday night through Thursday. Between 4 and 10 inches of moderate
to heavy rain are expected in the mountains. For some locations,
near record rainfall amounts are possible. The rain, falling on the
current snowpack, combined with mild nighttime temperatures will
increase snowmelt. Flows in rivers may increase quickly and reach
critical levels.

  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

* WHEN...From 10 AM PST this morning 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. Forecast rain
    amounts from 4 AM Monday through 4 AM Thursday range from 4
    to 6 inches in the Cowlitz Valley, lower Columbia,
    Portland/Vancouver metro and northern Willamette Valley, 2 to
    4 inches in the central Willamette Valley, and 1.5-2.5 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 2-4 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 30 to 60% 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, as well as debris flows over recently burned areas.
