Notice from the Nestucca NORTH to the Nehalem on the USGS Rivergauge Page* the beginnings of a river level RISE on all those streams. Rain the rest of the day and tonight and tomorrow morning is the FORECAST. The moistness of the frontal system arriving TONIGHT will shed heavier amounts in the upslope mountains which drain into those river basins. Here's the FORECAST DISCUSSION from the NWS regarding the :dance:RAIN:dance: amounts likely to fall

AREA THIS EVENING AND WEDNESDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.SHORT TERM...RAIN HAS SPREAD INTO THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA TODAY AS A 120 KT JET STREAK APPROACHES THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...PUSHING ALONG A COUPLE MOIST FRONTAL SYSTEMS. THE FIRST
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT OUR AREA THIS EVENING. SO FAR WITH
THIS FRONT...COASTAL AREAS AND THE NORTH COAST RANGE HAVE SEEN
PRECIPITATION TOTALS FROM 0.15 TO 0.45 INCHES...AND INLAND AREAS HAVE
SEEN TOTALS UP TO 0.20 INCHES. THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION WILL
REMAIN OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA AS THE FIRST FRONT PASSES

NORTHERN PORTIONS AND ESPECIALLY THE MORE FAVORABLE UPSLOPE AREAS
