Rain

Heavy rains battered areas of Southern Oregon this weekend, resulting in widespread flooding and damage.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the northern and central Oregon Cascades.

Snow levels could drop to between 1,000 and 2,000 feet over the weekend, with the possibility of a rain/snow mix below 1,000 feet, including the Willamette Valley floor and Southwest Washington lowlands.

Winters in Oregon are typically mild. The season is mostly filled with cold, rainy, overcast weather with the occasional forecast of snow and ice.

The point of impact for the "atmospheric river" over the Pacific Ocean has moved southward, meaning inland flooding concerns for Oregon have decreased over the past day.

On Sunday, the National Weather Service issued a hydrologic outlook for much of Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Despite recent rainfall, residents of Southern Oregon and Far Northern California should be cautious of fire danger in the coming fall months, according to fire officials.

Eastern Washington is in for another hot, dry summer. But spring rains mean the west side of the state will no longer face a drought.

After experiencing a relatively dry January, the Pacific Northwest is enduring heavy amounts of rainfall from an atmospheric river event.

After a high amount of snow early in the season, the Willamette Valley can expect dry conditions during the second weekend of January.
