Event narrative

Washington County Emergency Manager reported large trees down on power lines on Cove Road west of Weiser and an out building was leveled just south of Weiser.

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.
