After moderate rainfall December 1st through the 4th, a very slow moving front dumped more heavy rain to the northern Oregon coast and coast range mountains. Area of the Coast Range received 12 to 16 inches of rain over the 5 day period. Much of Tillamook County saw flooding impacts, including the Wilson and Trask Rivers, and the Nehalem River near Foss.
