Medford, OR – Flood warnings remain in effect across parts of southern Oregon as high water levels continue to impact the region. The Coquille River at Coquille and the Rogue River at Agness remain above flood stage due to heavy rainfall over the weekend.

According to the National Weather Service in Medford, the Rogue River is expected to recede by Wednesday morning, while the Coquille River will remain elevated through Thursday. Flooding of roadways and nearby properties is a concern in affected areas, prompting officials to urge residents to avoid floodwaters.

Authorities emphasize the dangers of driving into flooded areas, reminding motorists to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Residents are advised to steer clear of overflowing riverbanks and exercise caution near flood-prone locations.

More rain is possible later in the week, which could extend flood risks. Travelers and locals should monitor updates from the National Weather Service for the latest conditions.
