HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PENDLETON OR
1243 PM PST TUE NOV 11 2008
...RIVER RISES EXPECTED THROUGH MIDWEEK...
A VERY WET PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE SNOW LEVELS
WILL BE HIGH ENOUGH TO ALLOW MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS
RAIN. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL ON THE WESTERN
SIDE OF THE CASCADES...SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS WILL FALL EAST OF THE
CASCADES TO PRODUCE RISES ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS. FORECASTS SHOW
TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CASCADES WITH NEARLY FIVE INCHES
POSSIBLE NEAR THE CREST. THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THE BLUE
AND WALLOWA MOUNTAINS...COULD RECEIVE UP TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN.
AT THIS TIME...RISES ARE EXPECTED ON MOST MAIN STEM RIVERS...BUT
FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED. SMALLER RIVERS AND STREAMS...ESPECIALLY
THOSE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WESTERN KITTITAS...YAKIMA AND
KLICKITAT COUNTIES...MAY SEE SIGNIFICANT AND RAPID RISES DUE TO THE
HEAVY PRECIPITATION. RESIDENTS IN AND AROUND THESE RIVERS AND
STREAMS SHOULD MONITOR RIVER LEVELS CLOSELY.
THE HIGH WATER LEVELS ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO LAST THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEK.
