Cold and Rainy Weather Ahead...

From the PDX National Weather Service.

SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON WILL THEN SEE PERIODS OF
RAIN THAT COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. SNOW LEVELS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
WILL BE ABOVE 6000 FEET. RIVERS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE
DRAMATICALLY...AND RUNOFF WILL LIKELY BE AIDED BY SNOW MELT IN THE
COAST RANGE AND THE CASCADE FOOTHILLS. 

COMPUTER FORECAST MODEL
DETAILS AT THIS POINT DO NOT SUPPORT FLOODING...BUT ONLY MINOR
CHANGES TO THE TIMING AND LOCATION OF THE HEAVY RAINFALL COULD
CHANGE THIS SITUATION. THIS SITUATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED CAREFULLY INTO EARLY THIS COMING WEEK.
