Heavy rain & snow melt are going to cause some flooding the next couple days, especially near creeks/rivers that drain from the coast range. If you encounter flooded roadways, turn around, don’t drown. #pdxtraffic#turnarounddontdrown@NWSPortland
Another round of snow late tonight & Thursday morning may impact the morning commute. Warming temperatures will result in rain by early afternoon for most low-elevation locations. #orwx#wawx#pdxtst#tripcheck#wsdot
Icy roads possible tonight & Mon morning as colder temperatures filter in. Low temps tonight fall into the 20s. Any liquid surface water will freeze to result in icy and potentially hazardous travel conditions. Use caution as outdoor surfaces and walkways may become icy overnight

*Update* Fire is mostly out, crews are working on finding hot spots. The fire also involved a work trailer. Attached is a map of approx incident location.
