Hydrologic Outlook issued February 19 at 4:42PM PST by NWS Pendleton OR

2 months 2 weeks ago
ESFPDT Synopsis: Rain and high mountain snow in the last 24 hours and multiple systems this weekend and early next week will lead to rising water levels on area streams and rivers. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected in the Cascades and 1 to 2 inches in the eastern Oregon mountains. In addition, temperatures will be rising to the 40s and even lower 50s in the mountains which will lead to snow melt adding even more water to rivers and streams. At this point, the Naches River at Cliffdell is expected to barely reach action stage for several hours early Monday before receding. Other rivers in the Cascades and eastern Oregon mountains are forecast to approach but stay below action stage. Rises will also be possible on smaller streams and creeks. Where: The Upper and Lower East Slopes of the Washington and Oregon Cascades, The Simcoe Highlands, The Northern and Southern Blue Mountains, The Blue Mountain Foothills of Washington and Oregon, Wallowa County and the Grande Ronde Valley. When: Rain will be ending tonight though more systems will bring rain Friday night through Monday. What: The precipitation and snow melt will lead to rises on area creeks, streams and rivers. Rivers are low enough that only the Naches River at Cliffdell is expected to exceed bankfull early Monday for a few hours and only by a few inches. However, with the heavier periods of rain and snow melt, rapid rises will be possible on smaller streams and creeks as well. The Morrow County Sheriff's Office reported earlier today that the Upper Hinton Creek near Heppner is out of its banks in a few places though any flooding is minor and not a problem at this point. However, further rises on streams and creeks will be a concern through the weekend into early next week. This Hydrologic Outlook will be updated as needed due to changing conditions.

...CONTINUED SNOW OVER THE CASCADES... .Showery conditions remain behind a frontal band that has produced widespread snow over the Cascades today. Snow will begin to lighten with areas of rain through the day as the main front shifts eastward, then transition back to snow overnight. * WHAT...Snow Above 3500 feet. Additional snow accumulations up to 3 inches. * WHERE...South Washington Cascades. * WHEN...Until 4 AM PST Thursday. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will be showery so accumulation amounts will vary based on location and elevation. For elevations between 4000 to 5000 feet, rain may be the dominate precipitation type and thus accumulation will be less. As temperatures cool overnight, rain will transition back to snow.
