Columbia River Conditions

The National Weather Service (NWS) is advising that the Columbia River will continue to be high for the rest of the week and into the weekend.  There is a chance that the river may reach flood stage and above especially during high tides through Friday.  People are encouraged to keep a close eye on river levels for unseasonably high water that may flood low lying areas.  In spite of these warnings only minor impacts are expected at this time.

 

The Department of Emergency Management is closely monitoring the river levels and will issue updates as necessary.  Keep an eye on the river conditions via the NWS Northwest River Forecast Center website.
