Flood watches and warnings remain in effect for the Central Coast and the South Willamette valley Monday morning, with some rivers pushing their boundaries.
While the National Weather Service says some overnight lulls in rainfall may have saved most rivers from reaching flood stage, there are still some areas of concern.
The Marys River near Philomath has reached flood stage. This has the potential to affect southern portions of Corvallis. Fortunately, forecasters say the relative lull in precipitation seems to be causing the river to level off. It is possible the river may remain just above flood stage for a few hours, thus the Flood Warning remains in effect through noon for that area. Numerous roads along the river are likely affected & some structures near the river may begin to flood.
There is also a Flood Warning for the Siuslaw River Monday, with minor flooding expected. It is expected to crest around 10:00 to 11:00 am, before the river recedes. Minor flooding of lowlands and low-lying roads near the Siuslaw is expected.
This is a changing situation and this story will be updated.
