In Washington State - Clark, Cowlitz, Pacific, Skamania, Wahkiakum. * WHEN...From late Wednesday night through late Friday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain. 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... - An atmospheric river is forecast to bring periods of heavy rain to northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington at a time when area rivers continue to run high and soils remain saturated following heavy rain earlier in the month. During initial heavy rainfall on Thursday, the urban and small stream flooding threat will be most urgent, although the details of precise timing and location of the highest risk remains uncertain at this time. As runoff works its way downstream, the river flooding threat will increase Thursday night into Friday, with numerous area rivers now forecast to reach at least Minor flood stage. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. &&

There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SUMMARY Sporadic severe gusts may accompany low-topped convection across parts of the Pacific Northwest tonight into early Wednesday morning. Pacific Northwest A vigorous shortwave trough will reach coastal WA by late tonight and spread inland through 12Z Wednesday. This trough will be accompanied by an intense tropospheric wind field, characterized by 70-90 kts at 700 mb, that will spread across WA and OR during 06-12Z. A surface cyclone will move onshore in BC and occlude, as downstream lee cyclogenesis occurs over southern AB. Low-topped convection is expected to increase along the trailing cold front attendant to the occluded cyclone, initially reaching coastal WA towards 06Z. Surface-based buoyancy will be scant along the front, but sporadic lightning flashes and occasional strong to severe-caliber wind gusts may accompany the passage of this low-topped convective line. Low-topped convection should also increase ahead of this line overnight, as strong large-scale ascent coincides with peak low to mid-level flow. With minimal instability, low confidence exists in the degree of convective enhancement beyond the gradient winds. Thus, the level 1-MRGL risk has been maintained with no changes.
