Flood — Adams, Idaho

2010-06-04 to 2010-06-05 · near Council, Adams, Idaho

Event narrative

Flooding occurred across portions of Highway 95 and a trained spotter near Glendale reported over 1.30 inches of rain during an 11 hour period and flooding into fields along the Weiser River.

Wider weather episode

A deep low pressure system anchored in the Gulf of Alaska and a zonal flow pattern across the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West provided the right ingredients for a sustained moisture plume which produced convection and periods of moderate to heavy rain over a three day period causing flooding and flash flooding, and severe thunderstorms across Southeast Oregon and Southwest Idaho.
