Hydrologic Outlook issued March 13 at 4:18PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR

March 13th, 4:18 PM — 5:00 PM

ESFPDT Heavy rain tonight and snowmelt this weekend and early next week will lead to high water levels on streams and rivers along the east slopes of the Washington Cascades and Simcoe Highlands. The Klickitat River near Pitt and the Naches River at Naches are forecast to approach or just barely surpass Action Stage Saturday morning then start receding Saturday afternoon. Other streams and rivers will have rises but remain within their banks. There is some uncertainty in the rain and snow amounts through Saturday and temperatures into early next week but confidence in river levels is good (60-80%). Additionally, water temperatures have dropped to the lower 40s, so the chances of hypothermia will be increased for anyone falling into rivers or streams.
