Wider weather episode

A very wet series of Pacific systems moved through northwest Oregon and southwest Washington dropping copious amounts of rainfall over the area. During the period of time, between 2-3 inches of precipitation fell over the Willamette Valley, and between 4-5 inches fell over parts of the Coast and Cascade Ranges. This period of heavy rainfall pushed many rivers above bankfull, and most of those above flood stage. Many roads around the area were reported closed due to high water, and road workers were busy battling several landslides.
