Hydrologic Outlook for Columbia River at Longview

Hydrologic Outlook from the National Weather Service:

Due to snowmelt east of the Cascade, the Columbia River at Longview will rise close to bankfull levels during the high tide today, and above bankfull levels during high tides the remainder of the week. The river is currently forecast to remain below flood stage, which is 13.5 feet.

These are much higher than normal Spring time flows for the Lower Columbia River. These types of flows will likely inundate some access roads near the river and normally dry low-lying areas.
