Big storm details

Clouds continue to increase through the day with steady rain arriving during the later PM hours.  Expect moderate to heavy rain to fall all night long and through the early morning hours.  Strong gusty winds (likely the strongest we have seen this winter) will accompany this rainstorm with gusts 40 to 50mph!!  Rainfall will be very high during this short period of time.  Between now and Tuesday night most places in the Mid-Willamette Valley will see between 1 inch of rain for the “drier” locations and up to 3 inches of rain in the wettest of spots!!!  Keep an eye out for those usual flood prone locations/problem areas.

The rest of Tuesday afternoon will be showery and breezy.  Some showers will be quite heavy.
