What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy persistent rainfall resulted in localized flooding at several of Eugene parks and creeks impacting Alton Baker Park, Delta Ponds, and along the Fern Ridge Path. A trained spotter reports lots of ponding of water near Fairmount Blvd and E 19th Ave, downhill from Hendricks Park. Additionally, another trained spotter reports parts of Amazon Park Trail underwater in the area of E 23rd Ave and Willamette St. due to small stream/river flooding.

The wider storm

Two quick hitting shortwave troughs brought widespread and sustained precipitation to the western Oregon allowing for heavy snowfall across the Cascades. A third deep upper trough then quickly followed as well, and due to an accompanying warm-frontal boundary localized river flooding developed due to a combination of ample rainfall and snowmelt.

Began near Eugene (44.0231, -123.0859).
