Portland, OR – Heavy rainfall is set to impact Oregon this weekend, with three distinct waves of rain expected. The first will arrive this afternoon and last through tonight. The second wave will develop late Sunday morning and continue into the evening. The final round will return on Monday.
Coastal areas should prepare for strong winds, with the highest gusts forecast for Monday. Inland regions will also experience gusty conditions, particularly at the start of the week.
According to the National Weather Service, creeks and streams will likely rise due to the persistent rainfall. Residents in flood-prone areas should stay alert.
Those planning outdoor activities, like visiting the Oregon Zoo, should take advantage of the remaining dry hours. However, heavy raincoats and umbrellas will be necessary later in the weekend.
