North_County Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 12 minutes ago, BLI snowman said: Also really depends on the specific watershed. The biggest rivers in the region (Columbia, Fraser, Willamette, Snake) definitely require deeper snowpack to fully flood, and thus rarely do so outside of spring snowmelt setups (1894, 1948) or extreme pineapple-on-snow situations like 1996 and 1964. Yeah, I think specifically in this case the discussion was regarding rain-on-snow events (and probably even more specifically applying to fall/early winter atmospheric rivers). The situation seems entirely different for spring freshet flooders like the Fraser and Columbia, as those are more likely to start melting off when the upper watersheds are relatively dry. I suspect those are more impacted by the rate of temperature rise. I know that they were nervous about the Fraser a couple years ago because winter ran late, and temps in the upper basin didn't start warming up until June, and then peak summer hit almost overnight. I'm not familiar enough with the Willamette or the Snake to comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 You can tell the Snoqualmie River at the falls is going to stay in the minor flood phase... the blue line is turning the corner and the river is cresting and the first projected future level is now completely unrealistic. And the rain has stopped for the time being. The bulk of this rain event is over here. 4 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Willamette is kind of a hybrid. Around Portland it typically peaks in the spring, but once you get a little upstream to Salem, the Willamette does typically see a lot of its peak flows in the winter with ARs.

Popular Post TacomaWx Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Got back up here to Highway 18/I-90 a bit ago. Working another 10-12 hours tonight after a 29 hour shift. Rain is still going here but we avoided a catastrophic overflow at all the sites. My buddy up here is trying to get home but Highway 18 is shut down near the Raging River. He’s been here for 40 hours now. I had to go through issaquah to make it up here this evening. Been a hell of a few days trying to manage the water up here. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
