ATMOSPHERIC RIVER UPDATE: Steady rain continues across western Oregon and Washington, keeping much of western Oregon under a Flood Advisory as rivers respond to saturated ground. In southwest Washington, officials are closely monitoring the Cowlitz River, where heavy rainfall is pushing Mount St. Helens volcanic sediment downstream—raising flood risk for communities along the river. Prolonged rain increases the chance of overflow as sediment narrows river channels. 📷 Image credit: National Weather Service / local emergency management #AtmosphericRiver #FloodAdvisory #PacificNorthwest #OregonWeather #WashingtonWeather
