Heavy rains from an atmospheric river caused minor flooding and debris flow.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Portland, OR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 8:23 PM PST, 3 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Portland OR 923 PM PDT Fri Jun 10 2022 Updated Aviation and Marine discussions .SYNOPSIS...Another batch of moderate to locally heavy rain is expected for much of the forecast area tonight as another disturbance interacts with a late season atmospheric river. The heaviest rain is expected to slowly sag southward and decrease, affecting mostly areas south and east of Salem Saturday morning. Scattered showers will persist elsewhere until the next organized batch of rain arrives Sunday afternoon, also affecting mainly the southern half of our forecast area. Cool, less humid, and showery weather is expected Monday, then the region should start drying out Tuesday or Wednesday. && .SHORT TERM...Tonight through Monday...After a break in the precip between weather disturbances this morning, KRTX doppler radar shows rain spreading back into the region early this afternoon. Water vapor and Blended Total Precipitable Water (TPW) imagery show a long atmospheric river of moisture aimed toward Oregon, extending all the way back to the tropical latitudes near the International Dateline. TPW values on the order of 1.25 to 1.50 inches are in play over northwest and west-central Oregon...perhaps even higher than that given the 1.58 inches of TPW in this morning's 12z KSLE sounding. These TPW values are unusually high for our CWA, but they aren't all-time records. But this is why it feels a bit humid to some this afternoon, with dewpoints in the upper 50s to mid 60s for most of the forecast area. This moisture is expected to be available as the next wave of low pressure, just now getting its act together in the vicinity of 40N and 135-140W, moves across northwest and west-central Oregon later tonight and early Saturday morning. While the last batch of heavier rain impacted mainly the northwestern half of our forecast area, tonight's batch is shown by the HREF to focus a little further south. Rainfall rates will probably reach their maximum as the above-mentioned wave of weak low pressure moves onshore around midnight. At that time, most models show the baroclinic zone sagging slowly southward, with the axis of heaviest rainfall being near a line from Florence to eastern Clackamas County. Given the moisture transport involved, rainfall rates should become heavy with some orographically-favored areas possibly seeing 0.3 to 0.5 inch per hour between 10 PM this evening and around 8 AM Saturday morning. Overall, a few locations may exceed 2 inches of rain in a 12-hour period, which could come close to overwhelming some creeks and small streams. This would be most likely in our Oregon Cascade foothills, where the high moisture content is likely very efficient at melting off snow in the headwaters up higher in the Cascades. Overall, most of the lowlands can expect another 0.50-1.00 inch of rain by midday Saturday, with some coastal locations getting into the 1-2 inch range and, as mentioned above, some Cascade foothill locations may exceed 2 inches. Models show good agreement that the precip turns more showery Saturday afternoon, though a few keep steadier precipitation over portions of Lane County throughout the day. Models appear to have latched on to another disturbance presently near 40N/155W that should arrive late Sat night or Sunday morning. By then, the core of the atmospheric river should be well to our south, but this wave will still have plenty of moisture to work with over our CWA. Details are uncertain in regards to the track this system will take, or where the heaviest rain will fall. Cooler air on the back side of this system will cause snow levels to dip to near Cascade pass level by Monday morning. Monday looks to be a cool and showery day under the upper trough. With 850 mb temps progged to be around 0 deg C, it'll be tough for anyone to get much above 60 degrees Monday afternoon. But with the sun nearly as strong as it gets, most of the lowlands should be able to at least touch 60 degrees. Also, the combination of strong June sunshine and cool temps aloft could touch off a couple of thunderstorms Monday afternoon, especially east of the I-5 corridor. Weagle .LONG TERM...Tuesday through Friday...Ensemble systems indicate that the Sunday shortwave trough will shift east of the region Monday into Tuesday. Nonetheless, there should be enough moisture and cool air aloft to keep showers going on Monday and perhaps even into Tuesday. Shortwave ridging should at least briefly shift across the Pacific Northwest Tuesday and/or Wednesday. This will likely bring at least a 24-48 hour period of drier weather and allow temperatures to moderate. However, most members in the EPS and a sizable number of the GEFS and CMCE members suggest another shortwave trough will push towards the Pacific Northwest Thursday...bringing with it another round of rain to the region late next week. For what it's worth, the 12z WPC cluster analyses strongly suggest a troughy pattern returning to the Pacific Northwest by next weekend. Weagle/Neuman && .AVIATION...06Z TAFs: As this atmospheric river continues to push across the region bringing near record high amounts of moisture, expecting a mix of MVFR and IFR conditions due to both vis and ceilings, with some periods of LIFR due to low ceilings overnight. The atmospheric river will be advecting southward through the morning before weakening by 18Z Saturday. Stratiform rain will then likely transition to showers with weak post- frontal showers persisting through the day. Ceilings and vis will improve to MVFR, further improving after 00z to VFR. For detailed Pac NW aviation weather information, go online to: https://weather.gov/zse KPDX AND APPROACHES...MVFR with rain through the next 6-12 hours as the atmospheric river intensifies. Slow improvement with lingering showers expected through 18Z, before the weather system really drops further south to bring VFR back to the area. -Muessle/Kriederman && .MARINE...An atmospheric river continues in southwesterly flow over the waters and inland. Unseasonably high moisture content with the atmospheric river impacting the waters through early Saturday will result in areas of fog over the waters, with visibilities below 1 statute miles at times. Seas continue to subside as with winds. Seas around 4 to 6 ft at 10 seconds is expected through at least Monday. Southwesterly winds may impact the waters closest to the shore increasing wind waves there, however most of the waters will experience minimal wind wave impacts. Expect light southwesterly winds, 5 to 10 kts to transition to northwest by Saturday night. On Sunday, another disturbance will pass over the waters from the southwest which will likely bring another period of more active weather. Will see winds intensify from the northwest where we could see speeds around 10 to 15 kt with gusts up to 20 kt. Seas likely will not respond in the same way as this is a fairly fast moving system. Will likely see the combined swell become northwesterly which, when combined with the northwesterly winds, may increase wave heights slightly higher than currently forecast. More settled weather is possible early next week if the high pressure ridge that some models are attempting to build over the waters actually develops. -Muessle/Kriederman && .PQR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
