Yamhill River to Flood, more Rain to come!

The NWS of Portland has issued a Flood Warning for the Yamhill River which is expected to crest at 54.19ft by 4 PM Saturday. This will make the top 5 historical crest's since records began. This also will hover around the 1996 event, but not as major of course, well at least not right now. 50.00ft is the Flood stage so we will be well above that. Take caution when driving near the river and other flooded streets. An Urban and Small Stream Flood Warning has been issued for McMinnville again, this means a section of Old Sheridan Road will be closed once again as well as the low laying creek parks. Stay at higher grounds. Last night, we got about 1.04 inches of rain from 8 PM to Midnight...and from Midnight until 11:00AM we have picked up another whopping 1.10 inches of rain. Storm total so far is 2.14 inches. That bumps us up to a HUGE 9.72 inches of Rain this month, since December 18th. Thats well above our monthly average. No droubts this year folks! We don't see an end to this yet, expect more heavy rain tonight and into Sunday. Be careful!
